General Information
I am currently accepting new clients.
Please email me to book an appointment, or to schedule a quick call if you have any questions or would like to see if we are a good fit.
Clients looking to work with me long term (Intrinsic Counseling) should book both an Āyurveda Initial Session as well as a Vedic Astrology Reading. These systems work together and help us understand the big picture when it comes to our life, purpose, and our health.
If booking both sessions would not be possible or is cost prohibitive for you, I can consult and refer to your chart during any session (with your permission, of course). I am also happy to discuss sliding scale options.
Payment & Forms
Please be sure to fill out the forms provided for your session and submit payment as soon as possible (if forms are not submitted in advance, we may have to reschedule your appointment).
Please submit payment at the time of booking to reserve your appointment.
I accept payment via Venmo & Paypal.
If you prefer to pay another way, please let me know.
(Friends and Family payment is much appreciated).

Individual Sessions
Āyurveda Initial Session
This is where we get to know each other and assess your unique situation through the lens of Āyurveda. Āyurveda takes time. I recommend committing to ongoing sessions if you are interested in receiving all that it has to offer.
(2.5 hours preparation)
1.5 hour Session
Recommended Sliding Scale $200 - $160

Intrinsic Counseling ~ Ongoing Sessions
A revelation and unfolding of your own innate wisdom through the knowledge of Āyurveda and Vedic Astrology. In ongoing sessions we look at your alignment, mind, body, spirit, and the energy around you from the perspective of the great elements, the planetary configurations, and the vedic wisdom traditions. This is, at the risk of sounding reductive, energy work at the elemental level.
Most new clients benefit from bi-weekly support, especially during their first few months working with me, and will shift to monthly appointments as they grow, evolve, and become seated in themselves. Everyone is unique, and as such, so is the level of support needed.
(30 min to 1 hour preparation)
30 min to 1 hour Session
Recommended Sliding Scale $200 - $120

*Thoughts on Pricing
In the Āyurvedic text Aṣṭāñga Hṛdayam, vaidyas (Āyurvedic Doctors) are instructed not to treat people for free, perhaps because material exchange is energetic exchange, and the investment of each party is essential to the process of alignment (healing). In some traditions, those who sought treatment would be instructed to go into the forest to obtain the herbs that they needed, and in return for the services the received, they would offer a portion of these herbs to the vaidya as their payment. The offering, whatever it may be, acts as an investment in our own healing, in the healing of others, and in the continuation of the lineage through which this knowledge comes.
My suggested rate is $100 per hour, and the recomended sliding scale prices outlined for each session reflect a combination of actual session time and preparation time. This is the rate that I believe enables my own alignment in this energetic exchange (through the ability to support my family, cover my expenses, and allows me to continue to be of service in this realm). This is, as stated, a suggested rate. I believe that Āyurveda is for everyone, and I am open to providing services to those in need regardless of financial circumstances. Please contact me to discuss offerings outside of these suggested outlined rates.
I ask, what is this journey worth to you? What kind of an exchange can you offer, so that we are together in alignment with the universal order?
The sessions that I offer are outlined above along with the (pre and post) preparation hours required in order to provide these services. I believe that disclosing this information might help those looking to work with me to make an informed decision about what they can offer in exchange for my time, energy, and knowledge. What is right for you is equally important in finding this balance.
With gratitude, I thank you for being here. Your role in this exchange is what enables me to serve in this lifetime. It is my honor.
