Founded in the 19th century, reiki healers practice a form of natural treatment from Japan. It means "universal life energy", and practitioners use channel this source of energy to stimulate the body's natural healing process.
Reiki healers treat a variety of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual problems. Common uses include:
-
Renewing vitality
-
Promoting relaxation
-
Relieving stress and tension
-
Treating chronic illness
-
Pain management
A limited number of opportunities exist to work in medical settings such as hospitals, hospices, or attached to a GP surgery or natural health centre. However, most Reiki healers are self-employed, either working from home, or more commonly, as part of an alternative health clinic. This allows them to work alongside other practitioners such as aromatherapist or reflexologists.
Establishing a successful business means you must be prepared to promote yourself, by giving talks, running a website, but most importantly, by establishing a base of satisfied clients - the very best marketing tool in this business is word of mouth. Another way to increase your options is to offer another therapy such as reflexology and aromatherapy, or combine your practice with another career such as nursing.
The rates charged by qualified practitioners vary considerably, but are typically anything between ?20 and ?70 for a session lasting one to two hours.
