Are YOUR Reiki Services Protected?

 

 

Thousands of Reiki Practitioners are unknowingly at-risk of losing their businesses.

 

Did you know that REIKI PRACTITIONERS are being shut down and fined by state regulatory boards for “practicing medicine or massage” without a license?

This includes reiki practitioners and reiki masters, as well as others who provide energy healing or bodywork services.

Under the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, states have the right to regulate the practice of medicine, which includes massage.

While reiki practitioners & energy healers use very light touch and don't manipulate the muscles or tissues (like a traditional massage does), these types of providers often find themselves caught in the crosshairs of state regulatory agencies who are allowed to determine what qualifies as “practicing massage.”

And anyone who practices massage is required to have a state license to do so. Oftentimes, this is otherwise known as "license to touch."

Unlicensed holistic and alternative providers are at the mercy of the many state regulatory boards such as the medical, massage, counseling, nutrition board, etc. These boards can, and routinely do, declare a provider’s services as activities regulated by that board.

What this means to YOU as a Reiki Practitioner: Providing reiki services to clients without a defendable legal basis can lead to you losing your business, paying hefty fines or even jail time. Even if you have proper training and certification to provide your services!

Are you willing to take that risk?

The state is continuing to crack down on reiki practitioners without mercy.

 

Don't Let This Happen to You

Without a defendable legal basis, you risk fines of up to $15,000+ if you’re caught PLUS losing your holistic business & possible jail time.

What does it take to provide reiki legally? Reiki is done through placing your hands above someone, or light touch, and healing them through energy.

In some states, this may be considered “massage” where a license is required (often referred to as “license to touch”). In other states, the laws may be confusing and inconsistent, but are rarely ever in the practitioner’s favor.

As a Reiki Practitioner, it is important to be aware of the laws regarding specific regulations on offering reiki services. Several states are increasing crackdowns on holistic health, putting many practitioners at risk.

pwa-legal-reiki-services

Some of the many states that require a massage license to provide reiki services, or have legislation pending against reiki practitioners, include: Florida, Texas, New Jersey, Ohio, Utah and more.

Even in states where reiki is "allowed" without a license, the lines are blurred between what is and isn't considered massage, which is left up solely to the interpretation of state boards.

Having a solid, defendable legal basis to protect yourself and your clients is essential, and the only way to truly have peace of mind for your services. Without it, you put yourself at risk of losing your business, paying hefty fines or even jail time.

The good news is: Our team can help you operate your business legally and worry-free through our PWA License Program.

Can the state really come after me?

YES, state regulatory boards are continuing to crack down on reiki practitioners just for offering holistic services the world needs. When it comes to holistic health, they show no mercy.

There are several ways they hunt down holistic practitioners:

  • Undercover agents: A state board official may come to your business posing as a client to gather evidence against you. 
  • Sneaky phone calls: Other times, they may just call and inquire about your services to gather what they need against you.
  • Promoting your services: If you advertise your services on social media or on your website, they have all the evidence they need to convict you. (This is true EVEN IF you disclose that you are not a registered dietitian or nutritionist, doctor, etc.)
  • Client complaints: If you receive a client complaint, the state can come to investigate the services you’re providing.

 

Before you know it, you have a cease-and-desist order to shut down your business, with no legal basis to defend yourself.
