Pricing Announcement:
Pricing model at QBC has changed for individual practitioners, please read carefully below for clarification.
At Queer Body Collective, all our practitioners have been operating off of the same sliding scale for some time now. All of us have a deep passion for bodywork and know the importance of it. We all highly value making it as accessible as possible. However, this looks different for each practitioner. In attempting to balance this value of accessibility of ours while being able to sustain our work individually, we have decided that practitioners will determine their own pricing points.
Payment and Sliding Scale
60 min: $145 (sliding scale: $100- $180)
90 min: $185 (sliding scale: $185 - $240)
120 min: $245 (sliding scale: $245-$300)
The first stated rate includes the true cost of the session which is the market rate/sustaining rate of the cost of giving a massage. The higher end allows community members to pay it forward, and sustain my ability to use a large sliding scale. The lower end of the sliding scale is available for those who need financial support. Please check out the diagram below to determine where you fall.
For clients who desire regular work, there are opportunities to buy packages or memberships, and you can reach out with questions to kpintegratedbodywork@gmail.com.
Payment is accepted via Cash, Venmo, or Paypal at the end of your appointment or upon cancellation/no-show.
