Accessibility/Sliding Scale
We are committed to providing access within our capabilities to anyone who can benefit from this work. In addition to accessible group work, as of July 2026 we are introducing tiered pricing for our in-person studio sessions. Please refer to the list below to figure out which tier makes sense for you. Packages of sessions are still available.
