I think it's ok to ask for a minimal to moderate fee for healing - I wouldn't insist on it before hand, or even right after, but whenever they can pay.
I think requesting money for healing allows you to devote more of your time to healing, and you can even heal the poor as you tell them to pay you when they are able.
There may be those who do not come to because (1) they dislike the fact that you are charging or (2) if you do not advertise as free, they might believe they cannot afford your services. However, the fact that you will be able to devote more of your time to healing as it becomes more of a fulltime profession allows you to serve more people because (1) you will be able to spend more time healing as the money you receive will obviate the need for doing non-healing work and (2) your increased amount of healing will surely circulate by word of mouth and more will seek you out.
Money is a big requirement here on third density. I think it's perfectly ok if you charge for healing. I personally only get a bad taste if you "turn people away" if they lack money. But if you just tell them to pay you when they are able, I don't think you'd lose out to much. If you find certain people repeatedly coming to you without paying, you can turn them away if you feel they could pay but are not willing and instead focus on those people who are sincere in their need and are willing to respect your healing abilities enough to pay for your service so that you may more fully dedicate your time to the healing arts.
However, I understand the faint memory I think many of us have of living in worlds where money was not required, and I do not think there is anything wrong with only doing free healing service.
As an aside, I frequently see many people who fall into the trap of perfectionism when it comes to spirituality - that a spiritual principle must be done perfectly, or not at all. I think that misses the lessons of service to others philosophy and love, but that is just me
At the end of the day, the choice is yours!
