Sliding Scale Pricing Model

"Mental Health is undeniably a universal human right"

World Health Organization, 2023

My Shanti Wellness uses a flexible payment system that is often used by service providers, including therapists and coaches, to make their services more accessible. It adjusts the cost based on the client's ability to pay, aiming to provide equal access to services, regardless of one's financial situation.
