Startup costs are typically around $500 to $2,500, depending on your training materials, booking tools, website and insurance. These are estimates, so check what your own setup would need.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $500 to $3,000, depending on your session prices, how many clients you book and how much time you put in. That is revenue before costs, starting at about 6 hours a week.

Check where the line sits in your state between education and diagnosing or treating, and avoid promising cures unless licensed. Also check FDA and FTC rules before selling herbal products, other states' rules for out-of-state clients, and insurance.
