At a glance - How the CuraVela Tier Structure Works
Level | Main purpose | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|
Guidance | Clarify options and decide what to do | You want a clear head and good questions, and you are comfortable planning. |
Planning | Turn your decision into a concrete, written plan | You want a solid map and documents, but can carry the trip yourself. |
Coordination | Stay supported while you’re in treatment and traveling | You know your capacity will be limited and want active help while away. |
What is included at each level
All levels start with a free 30‑minute call to get to know each other and see whether working together makes sense.
Guidance
Aspect | What Guidance includes |
|---|---|
Focus | Understanding your options, comparing up to two clinics or programs, and deciding whether to go ahead. |
Calls | Free 30‑minute intro, one main call, one follow‑up, plus an optional short check‑in if needed. |
Clinic comparison | Closer look at up to two clinics or treatment paths for your situation. |
Asynchronous support | A small number of focused email or WhatsApp exchanges between calls, within agreed working hours. |
Written output | Short summary of your situation, options, timing, and key questions to ask a clinic. |
During trip | No real‑time or emergency support while you are traveling or in treatment. |
Best if:
You like making your own plans.
You mainly need clearer thinking, not hands‑on help.
Planning
Aspect | What Planning adds |
|---|---|
Focus | Turning your decision into a structured trip with clear documents and contingencies. |
Calls | Everything in Guidance, plus a planning call and a pre‑departure walk‑through. |
Research / design | Trip structure, accommodation shortlist, basic local logistics, and home‑responsibilities planning. |
Asynchronous support | Several rounds of messages to refine your plan, within agreed working hours. |
Written output | Trip overview, day‑by‑day plan, “while I’m away” sheet for home, and a short “if X happens” note. |
During trip | One or two brief check‑ins if needed, but no ongoing real‑time support or 24/7 availability. |
Best if:
You want help designing and documenting the trip.
Once you have a clear map, you are comfortable driving it yourself.
Coordination
Aspect | What Coordination adds |
|---|---|
Focus | Active support while you are away, within clear hours and boundaries. |
Planning time | Everything in Planning, plus more detailed work on scenarios and communication preferences. |
On‑trip support | Agreed availability each day (for example, around an hour of hands‑on help), via WhatsApp or similar. |
What can be handled | Travel changes, schedule shifts, drafting messages, and practical decisions when things do not go to plan. |
Boundaries | CuraVela is an emergency travel contact, not an emergency medical contact; no 24/7 medical role. |
After trip | A follow‑up check‑in to help with the transition home. |
Best if:
You know that once treatment starts, your energy and cognitive bandwidth will be limited.
You want someone else watching the moving pieces with you while you are in it.
How to decide
A simple way to think about it:
If you are mainly asking, “Is this a good idea, and how do I think about it?”, start with Guidance.
If you are asking, “I’ve decided, but how do I actually structure this in a way that makes sense?”, Planning is likely the best fit.
If you are asking, “Who is going to help me when things shift and I’m tired, scared, or unwell during the trip?”, consider Coordination.
You can start with Guidance and stop there, or move to Planning or Coordination if you realize you want more support as your plans become real.
