Membership

    Two memberships

    There is one practitioner, and only so many hours in his week. A membership is a claim on some of them. The one question left is how many of them are hers.

    Elevate

    The pair of hours this whole site has been describing: her body, then her mind, week in and week out, all year, hers alone. Most families begin here, and many never need more.

    Elite

    Everything in Elevate, and then most of his week besides. The lying-down session and the full-body hour continue weekly. Around them, the days alternate. One day brings a session devoted to a single organ or system — deeper than the weekly hour can go, aimed wherever the need is greatest. The next brings the household session: work on the home around her and on the run of her days inside it — the least visible of the four at first, and the one whose effects build the longest.

    Several times Elevate’s hours, for the parent who has lost a lot of ground in a short time and cannot spare a long one getting it back.

    The fee

    There is no price list; there is no standard case to price. What it costs follows from what she needs, what you want back for her, and which membership will carry it. He puts the figure in front of you at the start — in his reply, or on a call if you would rather hear it — so the decision is made with the number known, not guessed at.

    Two things about it. It is substantial. He believes this work has no equal, and the price reflects the belief. And it never moves with demand: the price he quotes is the price, and when his week is full there is a queue rather than a premium.

    Leaving

    Monthly, always. A sentence in an email ends it at the month’s close — no notice period, no retention call, no explaining yourself. Anything open-ended is only honest if walking away is effortless. So it is.

    Choosing

    Do not choose.

    Write about your mother or your father as they are, and Jonathan will name the one he would pick if it were his own father — including the smaller one, when the smaller one is the truth.
