the green bottle sliding scale is a framework to help make equitable pricing decisions based on access, privilege, and need.
i offer fire cupping on a sliding scale—meaning people pay different amounts depending on their circumstances.
no proof of income or id is required. these are only guidelines. i trust you to know what you can pay.
