Sliding Scale Pricing

I believe that herbal medicine is the people’s medicine and that it should be as accessible as possible to all. And while I hope to craft a modest livelihood for myself out of my love and passion for plants that is gentle on (and ideally regenerative for) Earth, I also just really want to share and celebrate the gifts of our wild and wonderful herbal allies with as many people as possible.

What is sliding scale pricing and how does it work?

Sliding scale pricing offers a service or product with multiple price points. These price points are set to make the service or product accessible to people with different levels of income, so that lack of financial resources need not be a barrier to a person’s ability to access a product or service. Community members can chose the price point that best reflects their ability pay for a product or service, based on their individual circumstances.

How to chose which price point to pay?

 I invite you to pay one of the reduced fees for my offerings, if paying the full price would cause you to be less secure in your ability to meet your basic food, health, housing or essential transport needs.​

Please take a look at this a handy infographic designed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk to help determine where you might best fall on the scale. (Click to enlarge image.) 

Reconciliation, Reparations and No Payment Options

We live in a world where colonialism, white supremacy and capitalism concentrate resources and wealth into the hands of the few at the expense of the many. Deep-seated, systemic racism continually disadvantages Black, Indigenous and other people of colour. Sexism, classism and ableism intersect to disadvantage queer and trans people, people with disabilities and chronic illness, migrant workers and refugees, among others. 

Please contact me directly at info@thewildgarden.ca to claim your reparations, or if you require a no payment option.
