Equity, Fees, and Support

“Our task is not to seek for love, but to find all the barriers within we have built against it.” ~ Rumi

Equity Statement

Alove.ca offerings embrace the principles of the Ontario Human Rights Code, with the intention of sharing healing, learning, joy, peace, and love with every human being regardless of ability, affair discovery date (newly betrayed or decades later), age, ancestry, citizenship, color, creed, education, ethnic origin, family status, financial means, gender identity/expression, language, pregnancy, place of origin, race, record of offenses, relationship status (married, common-law, dating, separated, healing alone, etc.), religion (or not), sexual orientation, or any other form of historic oppression. Contact me to arrange any accommodations or supports you may require.

Working With Me

All my fees are adjustable using the sliding scale below. The links below are for credit card payments, but you may also use Paypal. Contact me for e-transfer, barter, installments, or with any questions. 

Financial Support / Sliding Scale

Wealth inequality is a major contributor to suffering for everyone, but especially the underprivileged. The sliding scale below helps bridge this gap in a compassionate way. My volunteer time and energy running support groups, providing no-cost coaching, and posting free resources are offset through those who can pay, and this sliding scale. Financial means need not be a barrier to thriving. 

This sliding scale includes discounted fees (columns 1-3), regular fees (column 4) and pay-it-forward fees (column 5) to support financial accessibility for others. Use this scale for any alove.ca fee as follows.
