Community Care- Elemetal Supports
Elemental Support uses an equity pricing model—clients with financial stability pay full price, which helps make space for others to receive a discount if they’re navigating housing, food, or medical insecurity. No proof or explanation is needed. We also offer affordable community workshops and partner with organizations to provide care to activists and those in high-stress roles. Accessibility is built into how we do business.
How do we make care accessible?
How can I help support activist?
By paying full price —or giving a little extra at checkout if you are finacially secure—you directly help make care accessible for those doing frontline work. Your support helps balance the system so others can receive what they need without added burden. Collective care means we all play a role. When you invest in your own wellness through Elemental Support, you're also helping someone else access supports.
I’m also a massge therapist, how can I help?
First, recognize that every time you support someone’s individual healing, you’re contributing to collective care. So, thank you for the work you are already doing! From there, you can consider deepening that impact by offering sliding scale sessions, collaborating on community events, or donating time or resources to support frontline workers and activist. Elemental Support welcomes collaboration—reach out if you’re interested in co-creating spaces of care, education, and support. Healing work is stronger when we do it together.
Why is Elemental Supports concenred with Community Care?
Individual care is the foundation of collective care—and collective care makes individual care sustainable. When we care for ourselves, we’re better able to show up for others. When our communities support us, we don’t have to carry everything alone. Elemental Support recognizes that healing isn’t just personal—it’s communal. We heal better when we’re supported by systems of care that hold us together. Elemetal Supports centers the activist , organizers and direct service workers who give so much of their energy to care for others.
How do we democratizing touch and care?
We democratize healing by removing barriers—financial, cultural, and systemic—that keep people from accessing care. That means offering sliding scale options, creating inclusive and welcoming spaces for people of all sexualities, gender expressions, ethnicities, and belief systems (religious or not), and honoring each person’s lived experience. At Elemental Support, this looks like equity pricing, accessible community events, and partnerships that extend healing touch beyond those who can afford it. Care is a right—not a luxury.
Is it okay to care for myself when so many are suffering?
Yes. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. When we’re resourced, regulated, and rested, we can show up with more clarity, empathy, and creativity. Showing up to create systems of care for everyone is what the world desperatly needs right now. Denying yourself care doesn’t ease anyone else’s suffering—it just adds to your own. Collective care includes you, too.
