Do I need insurance as a Reiki practitioner?

What does ‘reiki’ mean?
The term “reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” which means vital life force energy that flows through all living things.

What is reiki?

The current form of a Reiki treatment was first developed by a Japanese Buddhist called Mikao Usui in 1922, who reportedly taught over 2,000 people this method during his lifetime.

According to practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or possibly emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness. So, it is believed that Reiki targets the energy fields around the body and can help to heal them.

How is Reiki performed?
The practitioner places their hands lightly on or over areas of the head, limbs, and torso using different hand shapes, for a couple of minutes at a time. The hands can be placed over 20 different areas of the body.

While the practitioner holds their hands lightly on or over the body, the transfer of energy takes place. During this time, the practitioner’s hands may be warm and tingling. Each hand position is held until the practitioner senses that the energy has stopped flowing and may place them over a different area of the body.

Some Reiki practitioners will use crystals and chakra healing wands too.

Why do I need Reiki insurance?

As a reiki practitioner, you may work from home, mobile or within a salon environment. Regardless of how you operate as an individual, you have direct contact with clients daily to administer the spiritual healing process.

In the event an accident occurs during treatment, or you damage an item belonging to the client, you might be liable to provide compensation for a claim raised against you. Our insurance for Reiki healers provides you with peace of mind knowing you’re protected in all circumstances but also gives your clients confidence knowing you have their best interests in mind. 

Our standard insurance covers:

• Public liability: This type of insurance covers injury to another person whether that be within the business premises or within a client’s home. It also covers damage caused to the client’s property during a visit to their home.
• Product liability: This insurance covers you in the event that a product sold by yourself causes damage or harm to the client.
• Treatment liability: This type of insurance ensures you are covered if a client claims you have worsened their injury, made them ill or caused a new injury as a result of the treatment you provided.
