Establishing Treatment criteria

The first client assessment and pre-meeting information you need to gather, the intake questionnaire best practices, how to gain informed consent and setting clear agreements. Circumstances in which a Reiki treatment would not be appropriate, and case studies.

​

The Reiki Treatment

How you would tailor the treatment to your client. Potential outcomes and situations you may face. Differences in private and medical practice including aftercare advice.

​

Professional conduct

Often in an intimate patient/therapist relationship it becomes easy to blur lines. In this session we discuss personal boundaries but also your code of conduct as outlined by the UK Reiki Federation.

​

Premises & business practices

The different premises you may come across – setting up at home, in a clinic, and in the medical setting. Best practices for infection control, safe moving and handling techniques, fire safety and hazard control.

​

Communication and coaching skills

Active listening and non-attachment. How to track your client/patient changes and how to coach your client into better decisions. Learn key questioning and coaching skills to help your clients become more self-empowered.

​

Self-treatment and self-care

How we care of ourselves, learning to say “no” when we need to and developing a self-care plan as part of our business planning. Working for yourself can make time off a very low priority.

​

Personal Boundaries

An honest look at our need to help others, over-empathy, or a sense of superiority has no place in a helpful therapeutic relationship. When to notice your personal boundaries are slipping, and how to manage them.

​

Marketing, book-keeping, GDPR

The basics of setting up a business, accounting, the legality of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and marketing your business correctly.

​

Basic Anatomy and Physiology

General functions and locations of the major physical systems and organs. Appropriate Reiki positions and understanding of basic human anatomy.

​

Common pathology, symptoms and red flags

There are many red flags that indicate your client needs to see a Doctor rather than have a Reiki treatment.  Understand what these are, and also the basic symptoms of the most commonly presenting illnesses.
