Why I don't make money as a Professional Intuitive...on purpose!

People who first visit my web site on intuition and my Empath Community often ask me why I offer so much "free stuff". They can't believe how much information, programs and communities are available.

My Intuitive Healing Program is free
My Empath Survival Program is free
My EFT coaching videos are all free
My Group Energy Healing Sessions are all free
My Empath and Intuitive community web sites are all free

The only reason I charge a fee for some of my online programs is because it costs me money to host them and I spend time writing the code for my web site. In fact, I have spent over 1200 hours over the last 3 years of my own time on the Abundance Program alone. There is a HUGE amount of programming behind all those nifty features and I do it all myself.

I also charge a fee for personal intuitive counseling session but I am only charging for my time, the healing that takes place during these sessions is free since it comes through me, not from me.

No matter how you add these numbers, it's pretty obvious that I am not making money from this work. In fact, I tend to break even between my operating costs (about $300) and my income from my online programs and the few counseling sessions I can fit in my schedule.

No wonder some people ask me "What's the catch???"

And yet, there is no catch. I offer thousands of hours of work for free because this is the most fulfilling activity for me. There is nothing I enjoy most than getting an email from someone saying: "Wow, this is really working for me!"

But everyone's gotta pay the mortgage...So how does this work out? Quite simply, I have more than one job! I work on short term contracts as a software engineer. Which means I set my own hours, allowing for time for my Intuitive Counseling appointments.

What are the advantages of this setup?

I have only a few Intuitive Session a week, which is the most comfortable pace for me.
I feel challenged by both left and right brain activities
I am considered an expert in both field
I receive money for my technical work from corporations who can afford it
I can offer free information to people who can't afford my services

In one word, Free-dom.

Anything that I can put on my web site (which doesn't require my time beyond the initial setup), I am offering for free or for less than the cost of a book.

In love,

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all you have done here.
I just recently found out that we both live in Portland, Oregon.

Last week I checked out a wonderful store. The Crystal Cavern the owner is a wonderful woman named Judith.
I was able to pick up some new stones mostly for helping with sleep and grounding she was so helpful. We were talking and she told me that my mothers path was not my path. You see for years now I just thought it was inevitable that I would also die of cancer, and as I get closer to the age my mom was when she was first diagnosed it becomes harder to ignore those fears. What a blessing she gave me, without me even asking.
Anyway I wanted to thank you because if I had not found your sight, I probably would not have found her.
I have been attracted to these type of stores for as long as I can remember, this was the first time I new why I was there and what I needed. I have such a long way to go but at least I am finally on the path, and learning what my path is.
Thank you so much
Butterflies & Blessings
