How much is a consultation?

Over the last few months several people have asked this question at the end of a free, no obligation consultation, or at a review where no extra treatment was needed:

“You sure I don’t owe you anything for your time?”

My answer is always “absolutely not”

So I thought I’d best share my reasoning behind this business decision.

I could charge £20, £50, maybe more for a consultation 💷

I could take that off any subsequent treatment costs

I could… but I don’t

Why?

I don’t believe there should be a paywall to asking an opinion on a treatment 🤷‍♀️

Some consultations last just 10 minutes as there is a clear contraindication.

Ethically I cannot justify charging for that.

Some consultations take an hour as we talk about several treatment options. That is the nature of the job.

But that is why I love it what I do 💖

By keeping things simple means I am free to say ‘no’ if treatment is not appropriate, or I am not the right practitioner for you.

No obligation applies to both parties.

Plus… I really hate paperwork- I’d much rather use that time to enjoy a coffee!
