The answer varies, depending on many factors, but this guide will help you understand the pricing landscape in Central Ohio — and how to choose wisely. What Is “Energy Healing”? Before diving into costs, it helps to clarify what we mean by “energy healing.” This umbrella term often includes modalities like Brennan Healing Science Practitioners. Reiki, chakra balancing, intuitive energy healing, sound healing, distance or remote energy work, etc. Generally, the practitioner works with subtle (non-physical) energies, guiding or channeling them to help clear blockages, restore balance, and support the body’s self-healing processes.

Overhead & location Clinics or studios in higher-rent neighborhoods, with more amenities (comfortable rooms, ambiance, etc.), tend to charge more. Packages, subscriptions & discounts Many practitioners offer package deals (e.g. 3 or 6 sessions prepaid), sliding-scale rates, or donation-based pricing.  Once in a while, Sharon Hartnett offers 10 session packets at a discounted price. Tips for Choosing a Practitioner Ask for a consultation or introductory offer — many energy healers offer a shorter session at a lower rate so you can see how you like their style. Compare what’s included — is there time for discussion before/after the energy work? Do they offer integration suggestions, follow-ups, or guidance? Check reviews, references, or word-of-mouth — personal experience and reputation matter in this field. Inquire about sliding scale or donation-based sessions — some healers offer flexibility for clients on tighter budgets. Bundle or buy packages — if you plan on multiple sessions, packages often lower the per-session cost. Bottom Line If you're in Columbus, Ohio, expect to pay roughly $60 to $150 for a standard 60-minute energy healing session, depending on the practitioner and modality. Shorter sessions can cost around $40, and extended or premium sessions may reach $150+. Always ask what you’re getting (duration, modalities, integration) and compare a few practitioners. Also, energy healing is an exchange.  Often if you pay on the lower side, you are getting that value. Training and experience does count and play a part in regards to skill level.
