I actively aspire and work towards Tender Courage Care being accessible. I accept MassHealth for perinatal care, and offer low to free care as often as I am able. I helped found and have worked with People’s Medicine in the years that I am able. I also need to make sure I can support myself as a single mother of two living month to month. I am available for inquiry into a sliding scale or barter at any time and I will be honest about my capability. Please do ask!! I have created the Tender Courage Community Fund to offer free care to our community. Please let me know if you would like to contribute to or draw from this fund.

Tender Courage Community Fund
You are invited to make a contribution to the Tender Courage Community Fund!
This fund is a small way of making the services offered by Tender Courage accessible to more people in our community. I try to do my part as much as I am able as a single mother of two. I am gratefully able to accept Masshealth doula clients. I offer at least one free session a month (often quite a few more) as my personal contribution, as well as volunteering my skills with the People’s Medicine Project in past years. I can do additional free treatments with donations to the Community Fund. A donation of $60 would cover the cost of one bodywork session for a pregnant or postpartum person in need!
Please feel free to inquire if you would like to be a recipient. And please make sure to tell me if you are including a contribution to the Tender Courage Community Fund with your payment and if you have a preference of which service it covers.
