Fees

Ellen has a standard fee but offers a sliding-scale fee program for Qi Healing (in-person and Distant Qi Healing) and Vibrational Sound Therapy sessions for those clients who otherwise may not be able to financially access healing services. This allows clients to pay what they can afford in a flexible, individually tailored way based on the client's circumstances, whose circumstances may change from time to time. The sliding scale represents the idea that financial wealth should not be the determining factor in whether or not someone can access healing services. 

Practitioners deserve to be paid for the many hours of study, practice, and experience they bring to the client. Clients deserve quality services that recognize the multiple realities of economic access and advantage. Ellen and the client support each other by honoring the sliding-scale fee program.

Payment is expected at the time of service via cash, check, Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal.

How much should I pay?

The following are guidelines for determining where you might fit into the scale. If multiple sessions are indicated and recommended for healing, please take that into account in determining the appropriate fee so that you may come often enough to sustain the healing process. Ellen will be happy to discuss this with you.

Standard Fee – $140 - 180+ If you have access to financial security, own property, or have personal savings, and you can pay for vacations and other "wants" and spend little time worrying about securing necessities in your life, the Standard Fee range is appropriate for you. This fee also helps support Ellen in her work with less financially advantaged clients.

Mid-Range Fee Scale - $100 - $140 If you are under pressure to conquer debt or build savings but have access to steady income, can pay for vacations or other “wants,” and are not spending most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc., this fee scale is appropriate for you. 

Lowest Fee Scale - donation - $100 If it is an effort for you to maintain access to needs such as health care, housing, food, child care, are living paycheck to paycheck or are in significant debt, or are on a low fixed income with limited savings, this scale is appropriate for you.

Private Qigong Instruction is $140 per lesson (lessons are 75 minutes).

Fees for Group Sound Baths, Name Chanting, and other group events are determined per event.  

Please see The Abbey website for daytime and overnight retreat fees.
