What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese-originated natural healing method which, to a client, is a passive experience of relaxation and of being cared for, as the practitioner lays their hands on or over the fully clothed client in various non-intrusive positions as they lie on a massage table or sit in a chair.
These positions are mapped out to cover the whole body to assist relaxation. Most people begin to relax very quickly and will often fall asleep during the session. After the Reiki session which is usually about an hour, clients often report a sense of relaxation, revitalisation and peacefulness.
Reiki is an amazing therapy that promotes the healing of mind and body. It offers a unique approach to wellbeing; easy to learn yet incredibly powerful in its ability to provide relaxation and restorative energy. Reiki can also be learned easily by most people for self treatment.
One session can make all the difference but series are often recommended depending on individual needs. Experience true rejuvenation with Reiki today!

Receiving a Reiki Treatment
There are many Reiki practitioners in Aotearoa New Zealand.
A professional practitioner is generally someone who has completed training in and achieved at least Reiki Level 2.
Ideally a professional practitioner has trained in workplace first aid and keeps their certificate up to date by undertaking on-going training.
A practitioner should abide by all the relevant laws of Aotearoa New Zealand as well as our Code of Ethics and Rules of Practice which they sign as part of the Reiki NZ Inc. membership contract.
One of the most important responsibilities as practitioner is confidentiality, which is clearly stated in the Code of Ethics.
As a client you will seek a compassionate, caring practitioner who works strictly within their qualification.
The practitioner’s clinic room should be comfortable, clean and safe, and all their certificates including their membership certificate and Code of Ethics, displayed.
A Reiki practitioner is able to clearly explain what Reiki is, what can be expected during and after treatments, and keeps treatment records.
A client will feel safe and cared for during the Reiki session, and the practitioner will be repectful of their clients’ privacy and personal space during the consultation.
The charges and fee structure should be clearly explained before the Reiki session starts.
Questions to ask a potential Reiki practitioner:
Q: How long and how much is a Reiki session? (Generally a Reiki session takes 1 hour. Fees vary but are most likely to be between $50-$120.)
Q: How many treatments will I need? (A typical answer may be weekly to begin with, and then whatever frequency you choose. The frequency varies from practitioner to practitioner. There is no right answer.)
Q: Where do you practice and when are you available?
Q: Are you a member of Reiki NZ Inc.?
Q: What is your type of Reiki (Traditional Usui or other)?
