For a few months now, I have been thinking about my rates as I’d like to make my portraits and individual coaching sessions affordable to a greater number of people.
Knowing intimately what is going on inside oneself seems essential to me to evolve in an aligned way in one’s environment, but also to communicate better with others and thus create a more attentive, fairer, more egalitarian society.
Thus, I am launching a test period until the end of 2024 during which people wishing to work with me will be able to pay me on an open and conscious basis.
A price scale to guide you
For each session, I offer you a scale with 3 types of rates (reduced, standard, patron rates) to allow you to choose in an informed way.
- Reduced:
This reduced rate aims to make my work accessible to people who are in a difficult financial situation, with a limited budget. This rate only covers:
-
- the time spent together during our session (1h-1h30).
It doesn’t cover :
-
- the hours of preparation of your portrait (2 to 3 hours),
- the moments of exchange before or after our session,
- my social charges (23% of the gross amount)
- the material and human investment to offer you a quality session : training in astrology, human design, support, symbolism, mythology, tarot, … or software used (CRM, video, appointment calendar), etc ….
No supporting documents will be requested if you choose this rate. I assume that you know better than me what is acceptable for you in terms of financial constraints.
2. Standard :
By choosing this price, you ensure the financial & moral viability of my services. This rate covers my personal investment: preparation time, training hours, expertise that I bring to each session but also my fixed operating costs (software, charges, etc.). It pays for:
-
- the time spent together during our session (1h-1h30),
- the time to prepare your portrait (2 to 3h),
- the time to discuss with each other before or after our session,
- the social charges (23% of the gross amount),
- the administrative and commercial work to bring my work to life and make it visible,
- the personal investment to offer you a quality session (training and certifications in astrology, human design, collective intelligence, symbolic language, mythology, etc.),
- the hardware and software investment (website, CRM, video, appointment calendar, etc.).
3. Patron:
The Patron price is intended for those who wish to go beyond their own experience and contribute to making my activity visible to a wider audience. By opting for this rate, you support the sustainability of my activity but also my personal & professional development. Above all, you allow me to offer more sessions at a reduced rate to those who need them most. This symbolic gesture shows your commitment to creating a fairer, more egalitarian world, starting with the people present within my community.
This price covers:
-
- the time spent together during our session (1h-1h30),
- the hours of preparation of your portrait (2 to 3h),
- the moments of exchange before or after our session,
- the social charges (23% of the gross amount),
- the material and human investment to offer you a quality session (training in astrology, human design, support, symbolism, mythology, tarot, … software used (CRM, video, appointment calendar), social charges, etc …),
- the renewal of my computer equipment (my wifi card and my graphics card tend to go on strike lately ;D),
- my personal well-being (feeling of recognition and work well done, financial security, …),
- my continuing professional development (additional training and certifications, events, …),
- the supplement for a session paid at a reduced rate by another person who cannot pay the standard rate
Why offer an open and conscious participation?
I love my work and I strive to offer all my clients quality support, taking into account the financial constraints and values of each.
Since my work is based on a careful understanding of others, I find it dissonant to impose a single method of pricing on you, which does not reflect the diversity of our individual experiences.
Our sessions together are based on mutual trust, active collaboration and individual accountability, it makes sense for me to extend this approach to the way you pay me. In session, I often repeat that “YOU know better than me what is good or fair for YOU.”
When the time comes to pay for my services, I want to apply this same principle.
I give you all the practical elements in the details above to allow you to make an conscious choice among the 3 rates offered, taking into account my constraints, my personal investment, my fixed costs. You do the same on your side. We then obtain a fair rate for you and me. 🙂
No justification for the choice of the price you make will be asked of you. I trust you. You are fully responsible for your decision, in conscience, taking into account your perception of the value received, my operating costs and my personal investments. The contribution you have chosen participates to a greater or lesser extent in the sustainability of my support approach, thus making my services accessible to a wider audience.
A supportive and inclusive practice
Everyone must be able to access self-knowledge tools and money should not be a hindrance.
The open and conscious price is a supportive and inclusive practice that implies responsibility and mutual assistance in the exchange. It takes into account the necessary preparation and the time invested for each session, while allowing everyone to opt for a rate that resonates with their means and values.
As a beneficiary of the session, you choose the price that suits you best. If you are financially comfortable, you can choose to compensate for those who cannot put much (or for future dire periods).
Another approach to market relations
By opting for an open and conscious price and by offering 3 rates to choose from, we are thinking together about another way of making society, another way of consuming and setting a fair price, for oneself and for others.
Open and conscious does not of course mean free. It only means that you value my work in a way that doesn’t constraint you.
