FEE-LOSOPHY
My prime motivation in practicing shiatsu is in educating and empowering people around their health and wellbeing so they gain a deeper understanding of the ‘layers’ of their being, how and where that can get stuck, and what they need to do to address those.
Money is secondary, yet I also need to honour over three decades of ongoing training and practice along with the fact I also need to live!
To balance accessibility and sustainability, I have a Sliding Scale Fee Policy where you pay what you can, based on your financial situation. This isn’t about status or income level; it’s about your real-world capacity, as not everyone with a ‘well paid’ job has disposable income, and conversely, not everyone with a ‘concession’ has a lack of disposable income.
At the top end of the scale, money is not an issue and you are ‘paying it forward’ to support those people in a less comfortable position. At the lower end, life is hand to mouth and a constant stress.
It is a Community Approach, so access to support for EVERYONE is equally important, because as a whole “we are only as strong as our weakest link”
The key is honesty. Ask yourself what is this worth in my health and wellbeing, and what am I realistically able to pay? I don’t need your reasoning, just your chosen amount. And if your situation changes, your fee can too.
FEE SCALE – – – $80 to $150
As a guideline the recommended fees are $120 full / $90 concession (with a valid health care card)
If you’re facing genuine financial hardship and the sliding scale is still out of reach, I encourage you to be bold and contact me to discuss a payment arrangement that works for you, so you can access the support you need.

GIFT VOUCHERS
Gift Vouchers are available and make a wonderful nurturing gift at any time of the year, but trust your instinct if it is something the person would really like to receive, as opposed to it being something you’d really like them to do! Contact me to arrange if it is the former.
