SLIDING SCALE

energy exchange



with the intention of making this work accessible, i work with a sliding scale, a tool that allows for several price points based on your circumstances.

€120

for those who are comfortably able to meet their basic needs:

—able to pay for "wants". spend little time worried about securing necessities

—a well-paid job, or access to financial savings or generational wealth

—access to health care

—a western passport

—go on vacations annually

—own property, or rent higher-end properties

€80

for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income:

—have access to health care, state support and solidarity networks

—sometimes afford vacation

—have some expandable income (for cafés, cinema, concerts, clubs, festivals, leisure items, etc.)

—can ask family members, partners or friends for financial support

€35

for those who struggle to meet basic need & don’t always achieve them.

—paying the full price for this session would create significant hardship—not being able to put food on the table, pay rent or transportation

—suffer from multiple forms of discrimination

—have debt, or support family

—very unstable work / housing situations

—limited/no access to health care and state support

—can’t afford vacation or unplanned small expenses

(sliding scale inspired by worts+cunning)


  • this is a solidarity system: the higher rates compensate for the lower ones. if you are able to, please give more so i can continue offering this work—in general, and to those who can’t pay the actual cost of a session.
  • be aware: if you pay the lowest rate when you can truthfully afford the higher ones, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility.
  • i offer a limited number of gift sessions. if you are multiply marginalized and the lowest rate is inaccessible to you, please write me, and we can figure it out. i would like to make space for you. (please mention this when you book an intro call.)
  • i wish for your rate to feel sustainable for both of us—allowing me to feel resourced & valued—and allowing you to come back for more sessions, as this can allowing trust to build and support your process.


i allow contradications to inform
my path & choices around money.

this is an experiment. we’re figuring it out together.

i believe that transactionality is part of the problem: i offer you a service, you give me money. the exchange and the relationship between us ends.

at the same time, many / most of us don’t have access to community / relational healing. also: healing in relationality—especially around intimacy & sexuality—can be much more complicated than it can be within a therapeutic container.

in an ideal world, i would like to offer this work as a gift and not have money involved at all.

at the same time, i’m not rich. i live under capitalism, in a city. i don’t grow my own food or produce my own electricity. i pay bills, and pay rent for the space i practice in.
i wish to resource myself through my work so that i am able to offer it.




curious?
write me a message 
( if the form doesn't work:
heybabeitsem [at] pm.me )

i’ll write you back
to book a call.

we can get to know how
we work together, and speak
about your intentions.
