What is ‘pay from the heart”?

In today’s world of increasing income disparities finding the care one needs can be daunting, to say the least. There seems, to me, to be this trend toward pricing items and services in the natural health realm at exclusionary levels. Click here to contribute

Bringing it to the people

These exclusionary and exorbitant prices just aren’t my style. “That ain’t me, yo.” That is why I decided to offer my services at varying prices.

You’ll see the following options:

• A living wage
• Minimal
• Pay It Forward (listed as a separate product so you can contribute in $1 increments)

What do these mean? “A living wage” refers to a price point I feel adequately covers my time and breadth of knowledge. It is comparable to fees charged by other professionals in my area of expertise. “Minimal” is the bare-bones amount I can take to set aside that time. “Pay It Forward” is an option for those wishing to just chip in a nominal donation to keep me going. Think of it as the village supporting the shaman type of gratuity. These small donations allow me to offer my services to those who otherwise could not afford them. I want to serve ALL the people who are interested in my services, not just those who can afford them.

Community Days

This, too, is a new feature. One day each month I will be honoring a block of time as “open hours.” Come sample my services. Ask questions. Satisfy curiosity. Do this during “Community Days” days and times, for free. Be sure to check out the coming events calendar for these days and times.

Open hours in the driveway

It has always been a dream of mine to have a brick-and-mortar, physical storefront where people can stop in to check out my wares, enjoy a spot of tea, and catch up on herbal news. Thus far, life has had a different idea. Therefore, “Open Hours” will be listed on the coming events calendar. These will be times the mobile shop will be open for general perusal in the driveway. Please, take a moment to check out these days and times. I will still be traveling to assorted markets and shows. No worries on that! However, now I’ll be more available at my home base, as well.
