The Rhythm Within is committed to reproductive justice for Indigenous, Black, and POC.
It is also our belief that no birthing person wanting and needing our services should go without care due to lack of monetary funds. If you are financially unable to provide full payment for my services, please ask about payment plans or sliding scale prices. If you’re able to pay full price for my services, please do so. Paying full price allows me to continue to offer sliding scale for those in need.
Gracias, Thank You!
