Integrative Advising Pricing Tiers

The First Flame — Introductory Integrative Advising Tier

The First Flame Tier is designed as an accessible, foundational entry into the Darkling experience. This tier begins with a virtual onboarding session, where we explore the shape of your story, the themes emerging in your life, and the support you are seeking. Together, we determine your tailored priorities and the level of energetic and emotional bandwidth required.

Includes 1 client-initiated email per week and a 24-48 hour response window (Mon-Fri).

Pricing is flexible and individualized, based on what surfaces during onboarding; honoring your capacity, your goals, and your needs.

The Written Sanctuary — Email Advising (Standard)

How It Works

  • You initiate email contact as needed within your tier.
  • Emails may be reflective, narrative, strategic, or emotional in nature.
  • I will respond within the timeframe aligned with your selected tier (see below).
  • My responses may include:
    • Interpretation & insight
    • Somatic grounding steps
    • Reflective questioning
    • Rituals or practices
    • Strategic guidance (relationships, boundaries, identity, leadership)
    • Pattern tracking or emotional mapping

Email Lengths

  • You may write freely; depth is encouraged.

Boundaries

  • Email advising is not for emergencies.
  • Emails sent late at night or on weekends will be answered during the next available window unless your tier includes Saturday access.
  • If a topic requires containment beyond email, I may recommend a Breakthrough Session at an additional fee, which you may always decline.
