Self Pay Secrets:
The not so "secret-y" secrets
to living a self pay savvy life
Letter to Healers
Dear Healer,
I see how much you care.
I see how deeply you hold people.
I see how heavy it feels sometimes, even when your work is beautiful.
You didn’t choose this path for applause or status —
you chose it because your heart recognized suffering
and refused to look away.
But somewhere along the way,
someone convinced you that helping others required
sacrificing yourself.
Maybe you learned to work through exhaustion.
Maybe you learned to normalize burnout.
Maybe you learned to be grateful for crumbs
because “this is just how it is.”
I believed that too.
Until my body, my life, and my grief
told me the truth:
we cannot keep saving others
by abandoning ourselves.
A healer with no bandwidth cannot heal.
A therapist with no time cannot breathe.
A nervous system in survival cannot create safety.
You deserve rest.
You deserve time.
You deserve a life that nourishes you
as deeply as you nourish others.
And if no one has told you this:
your needs matter too.
With love and rebellion,
Amelia
Before we go any further, I want to share something real:
I stepped into this new way of working because I was burnt out - juggling too many people's needs, angry with insurance companies, working with clients who didn't fit my skillset, and hiding it well... even from myself.
You don't have to be burnt out to take these steps, but you do deserve to build a practice that prevents burnout from taking over your life.
I didn't build Self Pay Secrets to "scale" or "leverage" anything.
I built it because therapists and healers like you kept asking me:
"How did you do it?
How did you raise your rates?
How did you leave insurance?
How did you build a practice you actually love?"
And the more I shared my journey, it became clear:
What I learned only became powerful once I adapted it into a path that actually fit me - and that's what I want to offer you!
I built a roadmap because I wanted to share the secrets I learned when I stopped playing by the old rules and decided to do things radically differently - to GO fully, unapologetically ROGUE.
If you're curious about what this roadmap entails... I invite you to keep reading.

LESSON 1:
Assess Inventory and Dream
Get clear on where you are now, what's working, what isn't, and what you truly want your practice (and life) to look like. This module helps you identify your values, capacity, and goals so you know what you're building toward.
LESSON 2:
Dig and Connect
Explore the deeper money stories, family-of-origin patterns, and old narratives that shape your relationship with charging, boundaries, and worth. You'll learn how these patterns show up in your business today - and how to shift them
LESSON 3:
Do the Math
Get practical, grounded clarity by identifying your financial needs, desired schedule, and ideal caseload. This module walks you though the numbers in simple, concrete terms so you can make empowered decisions with confidence.
LESSON 4:
Reassess and Plan
Take a look at what's working and what isn't, so you can refine your path forward. You'll reflect on your progress, create a grounded plan, and implement intentional strategies that align with your values, capacity, and long-term vision.
Still debating if Self Pay Secrets is for you??
Here's the thing... Money isn't dirty. It's data. It's energy.
And when you steward it well, it becomes a force for healing.
When you ask for more for yourself, you extend an invitation for others to do the same.
Raise your rates... raise your client's potential.
Who says therapists can't make good money?
You're not in this field to get rich quick - but let's be real: you deserve more than survival wages and burnout badges of honor.
You're allowed to have a thriving business that gives back and fills your bank account.
You're allowed to build a business that works for YOU (mind, body, spirit)... just like we tell our clients!
You're allowed to work less, earn more, and feel damn good about it.
⭐ Self Pay Secrets could be the course for you if...
💡 You want to make a bigger impact — and you know that requires more bandwidth, rest, and resources.
🧘♀️ You’re ready for burnout-proof plans that help you stay in this field for decades, not years.
⚖️ You care about social justice, integrity, and the ripple effect of your choices — including how you treat yourself.
💬 You’re willing to stop avoiding the taboo topics (money, power, boundaries, capacity) because you know they actually make you a better clinician.
💞 You want deeper connection — with loved ones, colleagues, your purpose, and yourself.
🌎 You want to save lives, improve relationships, and bring wisdom to the world without sacrificing your sanity or your schedule.
✨ And honestly… creating a balanced, beautiful life sounds f#cking baller.
⭐ Self Pay Secrets might not be for you if…
😌 You’re perfectly happy with your current bandwidth — no shade, you truly feel aligned as-is.
🗂️ You love structure that someone else dictates (insurance rates, session lengths, caseload requirements).
💸 You prefer not to think about money at all and want to keep doing things the way you’ve always done them.
⚙️ You thrive in hustle culture and genuinely enjoy being busy every waking second.
💬 Talking about boundaries, worth, or capacity makes you want to evaporate (again… no judgment).
🛋️ You’re not looking to shift anything right now, and you honestly just want to stay where you are — and that’s okay.
🌿 You feel genuinely stable with your time, money, and bandwidth — you’re not overextended, underpaid, or stretched thin, so you don’t need a shift at the moment.
What Past students are sayinG
Confidence to go Self Pay
"Overall, that course gave me the confidence to go self pay, and I doubt I'd have pursued group practice while taking insurance. I also love spending my time connecting with the community and networking instead of spending it dealing with insurance companies. I often tell people it ends up being where you spend your time: insurance or marketing/networking. I recently did a free presentation to my kiddo's elementary school staff about the nervous system and it was a big hit. I love the out of the box possibilities!"
-Lindsay Gayle, LMHC, Registered Play Therapist Supervisor
Owner of Circle City Play Therapy
Aligned + Expanding
"Things have been going well on my end. I’ve been focusing on growing my private practice and expanding my personal brand. It’s been a time of growth and alignment since the course, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the insights I gained. I’d love to stay updated on how things evolve!"
-Samantha James, LIMHP, LCSW
Founder and Therapist of The Midwest Therapy Collective
Scaling with Purpose
"Life since your self-pay savvy course has definitely led to an evolution that is launching beyond what I envisioned initially. The money mindset is challenging, valuable and meaningful when taking that leap and each step of the way it continues to challenge me in new ways. I'm currently in a three month program to try to scale my practice towards intensives in phase one then phase 2 transition to a wellness company and focus on four pillars of mental, physical, social, and spirit. I'm in a transition phase and a lot of trying to figure out things again, feels like starting a business all over again, but it's just an evolution so I'm being challenged and pushing myself to work towards that."
-Brian Lahti, MSW, LCSW
Owner of Talk Indy
A Deep Transformation
"I do want to express my Gratitude for the 4 sessions of Self-Pay training. I appreciate your vulnerability with what you've done, are doing, and plan to be doing with your practice. Plus all the insight as well. Session 3 put a fire under my ass to change my fees. Truly, I almost left that meeting midway to just go get it done then! Lastly, I've been on an adventure all year working through all my shadow parts & beliefs. So, this training was very good for me in creating new beliefs & experiencing others in the same process. For sure, anyone else that gets drawn to your training will benefit from it all."
