Suggested Donation Amounts for Erin's Services

Please note, all appointments come with detailed emailed follow up notes, as well as 4 weeks of text/email support (route of communication is dependent upon client preference). Email / text responses typically occur within 1-2 business days.

  • Initial 90-minute appointment - $500

  • 60-minute follow-up appointment that occurs within 4 weeks of a previous appointment - $125

  • 60-minute follow-up appointment that occurs more than 4 weeks after a previous appointment - $250

  • Ongoing email / text support outside of the 4-week post-appointment window - $125 - $250 per month, depending on frequency of conversation

  • Intermittent one-off questions sent via text / email that are outside of the 4-week post-appointment window - highly variable, $5 - $50; please use your discretion to donate on a case-to-case basis, based upon the complexity of the question and how much explanation/time it requires to answer on Erin's part

  • Appointment no-show or cancellation / reschedule that occurs less than 24 hours before an appointment time - $50 [please be respectful of Erin's time when it comes to cancelling / rescheduling appointments]

After honestly reflecting upon your current financial situation and priorities, please make a donation to Simas Family Health with the above suggested amounts in mind. Please keep in your awareness that where your health falls within your priorities can drastically change how much money you are able/willing to invest in your health.

The goal of this payment model is not to discount Erin's services, but to make her services accessible to all families, including those under tight financial circumstances. When you pay what you truly can, you are helping keep Erin's services open to all families. If you are a past client who has worked with Erin prior to the implementation of this model, your contributions have helped make this model possible today, allowing her to serve more families.

Please make all donations after services have been rendered. You also have the option to make a donation in the future for past services, if your financial situation changes.

Thank you for helping to fund Simas Family Health!
