We were lucky to catch up with Tally Barr recently and have shared our conversation below.

Tally, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How did you come up with the idea for your business?

in 2016 I realized was deeply unhappy for a long time, and my health was suffering. I was in a relationship that did not serve me and was profoundly afraid of the consequences, personally and professionally.. My ego was feeding me all these stories about losing my identity with this partner, financial stability, professional street cred, etc. I gathered my courage and finally cut it off. And everything I feared happening happened – I was left with no money, no support, lost friends and no prospect of employment or income,

I had just enough money left to sign up for a weekend workshop: Intro to Traditional Chinese Energy Healing taught by Garz Chan. It was my lightbulb. Understanding energy on a universal level, learning how to let go of the baggage (unconscious, subconscious, conscious and energetic) and opening my mind to new ways of thinking and guiding my destiny got me feeling so excited, hopeful and optimistic. These were feelings I hadn’t felt in years, maybe decades.

So with no money and no prospects of a job, I spent my time (all day and all night) writing Requirements Lists for all aspects of my life and applying the energy healing techniques I learned to each statement. I treated that like my job. And things started showing up immediately.

I found the perfect (free!) living situation, I got a call out of the blue from a guy I had one meeting with 18 years prior who asked me to Executive Produce his company’s TV series. That show went on to be nominated for 3 Emmys. A few months later I met the man of my dreams/now husband. I retired from showbiz and transitioned to practicing energy healing full time.

In 2020 covid hit. The world’s collective fears and anxieties were palpable. I too was feeling the energetic drain physically and mentally. One morning I thought to myself, “I wish I could just lay down, do nothing and somebody fix me.” The magintude of Covid got me thinking in greater magnitudes too – if I was one healer helping people let go of their baggage, would more healers support more people letting go of their baggage and allow transformation? These two thoughts guided me to creating my group healing sessions.

I asked a select group of four energy healers trained in different techniques, all with different gifts and specialties, to join me in an experiment; ‘how great of a healing container can we create giving special attention to safety and love to allow for the greatest transformation, enlightenment, freedom, peace and love for all’ Ever since our first one, I get that feeling of knowing I am on the right path. Every time.

It has been 3 years and I hold them every 2nd Saturday of the month. The feedback we continually receive is pretty miraculous. Every session feels more powerful and transformative and the feedback reflects that. Attendees join us from all over the world. I’m excited to see where these group healings evolve to love how they continue to reach new audiences everywhere.

Tally, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My monthly group healings, The Energy Collective, are a deeply transformative one-hour virtual energy healing with five healers practicing and transmitting specialized, varied modalities to release your baggage + call in what you want.

OUR INTENTION: a one hour virtual group healing session to help you release and dissolve unconscious and subconscious blocks, and create the sacred space needed for transformation.

Energy work offers real benefits for individuals at any stage of their healing journey, regardless of where you are, your life path or your beliefs.

The Energy Healing Collective has created this space with the intention of together we can all remove blocks and dissolve barriers s well as make space for transformation and enlightenment. – inviting you to be your greatest self.
Our group healings combine exceptional practitioners each with diverse and specialized modalities creating a powerful and one of a kind experience.

Our practitioners tap into universal or divine energy, promoting self-healing and overall wellbeing. It is a non-invasive process that restores balance and vitality.

The body is designed to heal itself however there can be traumas (physical, mental, emotional) and beliefs (conscious, subconscious, uncosncious) that disrupt or halt this process and keeps energy stuck.

We take great care in creating a safe and loving space for releasing, opening and healing.

Whatever your discomfort may look like- feeling stuck, sad, anxious- we can help. Seeking more clarity, joy, freedom or ease? You are in the right place. Physical pain, body ailments, health concerns? We have you covered. Seeking abundance, career growth, more fulfilling relationships? Or perhaps grief and moving on from the past? Wanting deeper connection with your higher self, mental clarity, grounding and deeper intution? We address it all.

If these changes seem daunting or uncertain, we offer another perspective. Instead of changes being hard work, we believe desires can manifest and transformation can be comfortable.

Energy work can address underlying issues and gets to the roots, releasing your baggage. Our healers create the container and move energy, your body does the rest. Just show up, relax and receive.

Our virtual group healing sessions take place via Zoom and are open to all, allowing you to participate from the comfort of your home or anywhere you are.

If you feel you want more support you are also welcome to reach out to our healers individually.

Where do you think you get most of your clients from?

Coming up with approaches to marketing this type of work has been, for me, a struggle to undo all the notions of what marketing meant to me.

My former career in TV opened my eyes to how manipulative and base marketing can be. Over time I assumed that all marketing had to be that way too.

So the effort for me is pivoting from that mindset to one of considering ways to create awareness in a loving, respectful way for an offering that is inherently authentic, loving and intuition based.

Currently, the best source of new clients for us is word of mouth. We find our attendees tend to be people who have some knowledge or experience with energy work and alternative healing practices.

Any advice for managing a team?

Communicate clearly with as few words as possible – conversations, emails, texts etc.

Show appreciation to your team for behaviors, habits and practices. Outcomes are celebrated, teamwork is nurtured.

Good ideas come from everywhere. Encourage contributions and create an an environment where people feel supported.

Investing in an employee – ask what they want to be doing in a year or two and create opportunities that incorporate that for them.
