Christian Science treatment does not require meeting with the practitioner in person, but can be conducted via email or phone.
Paying for services rendered is a natural way for the patient to own the treatment and complete the treatment or consultation with gratitude.
This allows practitioners to fulfill the Manual guideline that this be their only vocation.
Michelle’s patients come from a variety of countries and economic circumstances, therefore, on completion of their work together, the patient will receive an invoice that lists dates and services. Each person’s needs are individual, so the below schedule should be viewed as a guideline.
No one is limited in his/her expression of gratitude.
