Honest from the start
Fee Transparency
Our philosophy
We believe that no one should be priced out of being heard, accompanied, or sent off well. At the same time, this work takes real skill, training and time, and the people who do it deserve to be paid fairly for it.
So we hold both of these things at once: a standard rate that allows us to keep going, and a reduced or no-cost option for anyone who needs it. You will never be asked to prove hardship, justify yourself, or feel embarrassed about what you can or can't pay. We simply ask that you are honest with us, as we will be with you.

-

Step 1 - The first conversation is always free, to understand what you need.

Step 2 - We talk openly about which service fits, and what it costs.

Step 3 - You choose the rate that is right for your circumstances: standard, reduced, or - where truly needed - no charge.

Step 4 - We agree everything in writing before any work begins, so there are never any surprises.
