How to Price Your Services: Fair, Sustainable Pricing for Service-Based Business Owners

Pricing doesn’t have to feel like a guessing game—or a guilt trip. This workshop is a space to get honest about what you need to earn, how to honor your labor, and how to make your work accessible without burning yourself out.

If you’re trying to serve folks who don’t have tons of disposable income—people navigating financial hardship, coming from working-class or poor backgrounds, or shut out of traditional forms of care—you’re not alone. Many of us are building businesses because we want to serve our communities. But how do you do that without undercharging or running yourself into the ground?

We’ll look at how to set prices that reflect your values and your real-life needs—not what the algorithm says, not what your competitor charges, and not what capitalism tells you is “normal.”

Whether you’re charging for the first time or reworking your rates after years of under-earning, this workshop will give you tools to price in a way that’s fair to you, your clients, and your community.
