I’ve really been struggling with this lately - how much to charge people. Should I have a sliding scale? Should I leave it to my clients to decide how much they want to pay? How should I address clients who started with me when I was offering to do energy work for free - who are now referring new clients? What about existing clients who I’ve done free work for - who come back and expect me to continue to work for free?
It feels like a sliding scale is socially responsible. But then do I get into a situation where I’m mentally auditing what a client is doing in their life (what they’re buying and talking about making) and comparing that to what they said they could afford?
And how do I balance my personal need for money to make my life work - and the time I dedicate to energy work - with the good of helping people in need around the country - and presumably some day, around the world?
For now, I’ve settled on an hourly rate. It’s straight forward and easy to understand. I’ve tried to set the hourly rate at a reasonable level that should be accessible to all who need or would like help.
The amount of time we spend working on your needs is up to you. I can’t control how quickly “the work” takes place but we’ll do what we can in the time you want to allocate.
Peace!

So how much is the hourly rate? I read all of your website and the comments from other clients and it sounds great. I could use some energy healing. You can send your rates to my email if you don’t want to post them. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your post! So much has happened over the last year and I need to be blogging about it. Your question is a great reminder to do that.
My hourly rate is $150/hour. I’d love to catch up with by phone for questions - and to schedule time: 970.691.9933
Peace!!!

That was an interesting post.
