I have no idea why this thread was obviously started to make her look bad.

1) Does she have the right to see whoever she wants? Of course?
2) Does she have the right to charge whatever she wants for a session? Of course.
3) Does she have the right to give it away if she decides to? Of course.
The problem starts with that last point
in this particular venue.
Ole Randy cried his woe on a HOBBY board. Rather than PM Randy and offer to get him straightened out (impossible to avoid language like that), she posted an offer of a free session on the public part of the board. It's not Match.com, she offered a free session.
Breanna sounds quite likable, maybe my impulse should have died unexpressed, but I was thinking, man if I were one of her clients... would I be expecting freebies any time misfortune struck? If not, why not? What makes one hobbyiest more worthy of a free one than the next? If a provider is comfortable telling any of her clients "he got it free because I like him better than you", she likely will see an exit of some clients. That's reality.
Do providers have favorites who get better deals, even some free sessions? Sure. But on a business level, they'd be crazy to make that fact public with their other clients. So I was shaking my head and wondering, did she really think that through?
And finally - I offer you my best wishes, Breanna. I mean that sincerely. I hope we can meet some day (no, not for a freeby). Maybe I can buy you a drink. Bobave out -
