After each sessionBy Stripe, with no fees deducted and nothing to invoice
These are our current standard rates, as of September 24, 2026, and they may change. We will tell you in writing before a new rate applies, and a new rate never applies to work you have already done. Your independent contractor agreement sets the rates and payment terms that apply to you, and it governs if anything on this page differs. Nothing here is a contract or a promise of any number of clients, sessions or earnings. You are responsible for your own taxes, and you receive a 1099.
