Sliding Scale

Acknowledging that we all have different abilities to pay for services based on numerous factors such as income, previous debt, race, gender, privilege, and education. A sliding scale is a way I have chosen to include as many people who have the call to do birth work as possible. Please refer to the lists on the right side of this page to assist you in assessing your needs.

Be aware that if you choose lower on the scale when in fact you can afford the higher ticket, you are limiting access to those who truly need the financial flexibility. 

Thanks to yasmin marrero and those she credits for helping me put this into word and practice.

Details:

My customary fee is $600 for a 16 CE class, which includes unlimited mentoring, exam proctoring, and accountability sessions. You are also able to attend refresher sessions at no charge.

I can accommodate 1 sliding scale student for each full-paying student per workshop. As such, the number of sliding-scale seats available will vary from class to class. I also offer payment plans.

*Please note: I do not discount my evaluation services — $350 to watch your 6-hour class, offer notes, and complete ICEA paperwork (total of 7.5 hours).
