Freely Held
Compassionate, no-cost mental health care
Freely Held is rooted in the gift economy - a practice of loosening from capitalist and oppressive systems, and remembering together that care belongs to all of us. Inspired by generosity and reciprocity, this offering exists because of both the sessions I gift directly and the gifts that come through community support.
I know this can sound almost too good to be true. We live in a world where care is usually transactional, so it’s natural to feel some skepticism when support is given freely. That’s why I’m committed to transparency and to reminding us all that generosity is real, especially when we create it together.
This is also why I don’t use a sliding scale. Sliding scales can unintentionally put the stress back on you - asking you to calculate what your care is “worth” or how much you should give. Instead, the invitation is simply to come as you are and receive the care you need.
Support doesn’t always have to mean money changing hands. Some people contribute financially, others share time or skills, and some simply receive. Any contribution, in any form, is always optional and always enough. Each role matters, and each keeps the flow of care moving.
If you’ve ever thought, “I could use support but can’t afford it,” or hesitated for any reason, this is for you.
If you’re even considering this, it’s for you.

No intake, no diagnosis required. Receiving support is an act of agency and a vital part of keeping care circulating in the community.
🪷 Receiving a session
A 90-minute Zoom session is a gift of time and presence, offered for you to arrive just as you are. Together, we’ll notice what’s alive in your body and gently explore what brings more support and grounding.

Pay it forward in your own community - small acts of care and connection are part of the same flow.

📊 Ongoing accountability & transparency
Each month, I share how gifts are flowing - both sessions I’ve personally gifted and sessions made possible through community generosity. This helps us all see the gift economy in practice. Transparency builds trust, and trust is what makes community care possible.
