Welcome to Tiered Pricing. I use a modified form of the Green Bottle Sliding Scale, inspired by Alexis J. Cunningfolk to create this pricing model.
Use this guide to decide how much you are able to pay for your massage. You won’t be asked to justify or explain your tier, and you can change your tier from one appointment to the next. Sales tax is included and tipping is eliminated. Cash, card, and Venmo accepted.
You may not align perfectly with a tier! That’s okay – go with your gut. Please reach out with any questions if this is confusing or even stressful.
Note:
- Basic needs = food, housing, transportation.
- Expendable income = coffee shops, brunch, new clothes, new games.
Tier One
- I can take vacations or afford time off of work if I get sick
- I am comfortable and able to meet my basic needs*
- I may have some debt but it doesn’t prohibit attainment of my basic needs
- I own my own home or rent a higher end property
- I own a car
- I am employed
- I have access to financial savings
- I have expendable income*
Tier Two
- I may stress about meeting my basic needs*, but still achieve them
- I have some debt
- I am employed or self employed but work part time
- I have limited financial savings
- I have limited expendable income*
- I have to actively save in order to take a vacation
- I own a car but struggle to cover its costs
Tier Three
- I frequently struggle to meet basic needs* and don’t always achieve them
- I have debt and it sometimes prohibits me from meeting basics needs
- I rent lower end properties or struggle to have stable housing
- I don’t have a car or struggle to afford fuel for a car
- I am unemployed or qualify for government assistance
- I have almost no expendable income*
- I have no financial savings
More Options
If a massage if still too costly for you, please reach out. My goal is to meet you where you’re at, and if that means flexibility, let’s talk.
Barter is also an option. Whether it is for the full cost of the service, or a split between cash and trade. I’m always looking for art, tattoos, food, and some times odd jobs but the sky is the limit.
