I have been putting off writing this post for days now. And I seriously considered not writing it at all. Just thinking about it makes me nervous so I know I have to do it.
I’ve raised my prices.
Gasp! I could tell you that I raised the price for my readings because I’ve been asking the same price for 5 years. Or that my old price isn’t sustainable for me. Or that I’m working on my mindset regarding money and that this is an important step for me. And all of this is true.
But this isn’t important to you. Instead of talking about me and my needs I should be talking about you. Because when you contact me for a reading you are looking for something to make you feel better. What you need to know is that what I offer is of value to you. I watched a really interesting interview on Marie TV that showed up in my mail box just after I had raised my price. I love those signs from the Universe.
Well, I have realised that spending so much time – and money – doing deep soul work myself in order to be of the greatest service I can to you my intuitive readings are becoming more and more powerful. They go deeper and what really amazes me is that there is a healing energy that comes through them that goes beyond the words. The feedback I have been receiving is amazing. Several people have told me that after a reading they have felt that energy that had blocking them for years just melted away.
Now of course this is not just my work. I am so grateful to my loving spirit guides who have chosen to communicate through me. And you, as a client, do about 50% of the work, I’d say. This is gorgeous team work between you, me and the spirit world.
Maybe that is why I have been so reluctant to raise my prices.
I know that this is not just my work, not just my energy. We create magic together. But I realize that I am the one providing the safe space for this work to be done. I invest a huge part of my life in order to be the clearest and most loving channel I can be. And I know that you can feel that. And that this can transform you life. Instead of spending perhaps years receiving healing, going to therapy and maybe spending a lot of time feeling unhappy and lost you can experience an incredible inner transformation in only one session that will affect you entire life.
One of the aspects of my intuitive readings that I love – and that seems to grow over time – is the call from my spirit guides to see the beauty in yourself. I feel like I am just the one holding up a mirror showing you just how beautiful and amazing you are. And I mean beautiful inside out : ).
Another aspect is an intense feeling of healing energy that pours through you. A strong and loving energy that washes away your pain and heals old wounds.
Of course one reading with me won’t solve all your problems forever. I’m not a fairy godmother! And your deep soul work is a continuous proccess that will give you a chance to see what you need in order to grow and shine even brighter.
What I offer is one key to a more fullfilled life. I know that you will find the rest of the keys that you need to grow and expand beyond what you think is possible.
So, I wrote it!
Thank you for being here and for reading my words. It means so much to me. So much. I love sharing my thoughts and feelings with you and I hope it inspires you to move forward and deeper into you own life.
How do you feel about putting a price tag on what you love doing? And how do you do it anyway?
All my Love and Gratitude,
I think in some ways it may be easier for me to put a price tag on my work because the service I offer (copywriting) is something that may well directly translate into more sales or more clients for my own clients.
HOWEVER, that said, it’s still not something I find easy. I still charge FAR less than many of my role model copywriters because I feel like I’m still in the beginning stages of my journey, and although I feel confident that I’m offering good value to my clients, I can’t *yet* provide the value that my role models do. But I’m pretty sure I’m OK with that right now – I’m about to do a complete pricing revamp that will still price me far lower comparatively, but slightly higher than I am now, and package-based, rather than hourly-rate based.
I see pricing as something that’s OK to constantly change, as long as the number you settle on feels right to you, and works for your perfect clients. And it’s something I’m learning more and more about all the time.
Blessings

Thank you for sharing how you think about this whome pricing things. I think it can be easier when you can make a connection between the price you ask and the sales it will generate. That’s of course a bit trickier when it come to well-being. I’m thinking that if I can help someone to feel better inside and become clearer what his/her life purpose is, they will save money and time. Of course that’s pretty difficult to quantify…
Big hugs, Karina
Oh yes – I so can relate. But I love your post. I can see the beauty, love and value of your service and it touches only by reading this little post! Wonderful!
Thank you so much, Nora, for your generous words. Love, Karina
Hi Karina,
Your work sounds lovely and powerful. I am just getting started and inspired by the value in deep reflection on the question “What is my work worth?”
With gratitude,
Crystal
Hi Crystal,
Thank you so much. Yes, it’s an interesting question. How do you quantify soul work? Still wondering about that one.
Love, Karina
Hey Karina, the loving and healing energy is transmitted through every blog post you wrote too!! As another channel, I understand and fully appreciate what you said about putting dedication and strong intention to be as clearest as you can. I’m 100% support you. And the more your work is valued, the more you can help others.
All my love :)
Yiye
Thank you, Yiye! I know you know exactly what I’m talking about : ). Thank you for your support and you are so sight about that the more my work is valued the more I can help others.
Love and gratitude, Karina
This brought a tear to my eye Karina – such beautiful, soul-led reasons for raising your fees. I raised mine today, and didn’t even realise why it no longer felt right to charge my ‘old’ fees – but you put it perfectly – like you, the deep soul work I’ve been doing has made a huge difference to my skill and effectiveness. Just as you had the message from the universe via Marie TV, you are my soul messenger. Thank you! x
