Services and Scheduling

Services: I offer bodywork, Somatic Experiencing, and soon psychotherapy.

Rates:  All of my services are valuable, therefore my rates are based on time rather than type of service. I offer a community-supported sliding scale; we all deserve resonant care regardless of our socioeconomic status.
30 minutes: $40-$70 // $55 suggested
60 minutes: $80-$140 // $110 suggested
90 minutes: $120-$210 // $165 suggested
120 minutes: $160-$280 // $220 suggested

Please pay what makes sense for you on the scale, no need to apply or explain. If these ranges are not accessible to you, please see more information under ‘Access’.

Access:  Affordability is based on many factors, including gaps in income and wealth distribution based on race, ethnicity, age, sexuality, gender and it’s expression, and other factors of advantage, struggle, or marginalization. A more whole, just world becomes possible when we all contribute.

Community Fund: Sessions below the suggested rates are supported by my client community through a portion of all session fees and direct donations. Whatever your payment, you contribute to the health of your neighbors and a living wage for me. You receive care without worry of being a drain on my resources, and I'm free to care generously without overextending myself. YES, I accept donations directly to my community fund!

Sliding Scale Flexibility: If my sliding scale ranges do not work for you, please reach out. I offer greater flexibility dependent on the balance in my community fund and prioritize those who benefit from regular care and experience barriers to receiving that care. My sliding scale is a practice in trust and reciprocity, ensuring we’re both well cared for.

Covid-19: I am fully vaccinated with regular boosters and wear a KN95 mask to practice. We are supported by high quality air purifiers as well as consistent space sanitation protocols. Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions.

Parking and Ease of Entry: Our first floor location has accessible parking, one step to enter, and an entryway ramp available as needed.

Positionality: As a white genderqueer person, I delight in honoring bodies across the vast spectrum of human possibility, including ability, shape, race, ethnicity, gender expression, and/or sexual preference. I am also delighted to connect you with bodyworkers whose identities are similar to your own.

Safety and Consent:  Bodywork is a collaboration, and informed consent is the foundation of building safety. Explaining where, how, and why I may make contact with your body is essential, as is your consent and the opportunity for you to give or rescind consent at any time. Bodywork is an excellent frame in which to practice articulating a boundary, and I’m glad to honor and affirm your choices session to session and moment to moment. Both client and bodyworker have the right to end a session for any reason at any time, no questions asked.

Location:  I live and work in Durham, North Carolina, and my office is located in Durham Community Bodywork’s treatment space in the Health Associates building on 906 Broad Street. The nearest bus stop is 2 and a half blocks south on Broad Street, served by routes 11 and 11B.

On booking your appointment, you’ll receive a confirmation email with more detailed information regarding parking, arrival, and your first session.
