A 40-minute consultation with Dr. Lakshmi Prasanna. $100 or true price.
Pick a time above. We will message to confirm your slot.
About true price
The idea comes from Rudolf Steiner’s lectures on economics (1922). Steiner described a price as “true” when it allows the person offering the work to meet their own needs and to continue that work, while staying fair to the person receiving it.
In many anthroposophic practices this becomes a form of self-assessed payment. $100 is the suggested amount. You are warmly invited to pay what honestly reflects the value of the consultation and your own circumstances: more if you are able, less if you need to.
There is no need to explain your choice. We trust each family to find their true price, so that the work is supported and no one is turned away.
