About Sliding Scale Rates

For some massages, East West Therapeutic Arts operates with a sliding scale philosophy.  This is similar to choosing to add gratuity. As always, gratuity is optional, but is humbly appreciated and valued.
Your gratuity reflects your support of EWTA's mission to keep services as affordable as possible by giving more, when you can, knowing that sometimes others can't.
Here's more on that:

It is important for you to get the work you need without worrying about prohibitive costs.  Most of the time, regular massage is ideal, in order to keep our hard working bodies in good health, and yet so many hard working clients are on a tight budget.  That's life, but the philosophy at EWTA is that we would rather accept what a person can afford than turn anyone away from receiving the regular work they need. 
A sliding scale is an honor-based system: The practitioner charges a base rate, and you, the client, decide what, if anything, you can afford on top of that base rate.  Keep in mind, base rates are low in order to remain accessible to those who are truly tight on funds. 

At EWTA, for anything extra you are able to give, you are helping keep that lower rate available so that those who need it can afford the work.   The base rate and suggested scale is indicated below; if you are able to give anything more than the base rate comfortably, please do so.

I work hard to deliver consistent high-quality care, and I use only high quality products; you determine the value of what I deliver in your sessions based on your integrity and your financial ability.

If you are in need of consideration for a lower rate, I am always open to these discussions.
Please email or call me and we can talk confidentially.
