Discover the Benefits of CNHC Registration and Verification
As awareness of Reiki grows, many people are drawn to practitioners who have CNHC registration and verification. By displaying the CNHC logo, you show that your practice is trusted by employers, insurers, and clients alike. With our Reiki Directory, finding verified practitioners has never been easier.
Public Practice Verification – A Key Commitment to Your Practice
The Reiki Association’s public practice verification is a one-off process that serves as an important commitment to your Reiki practice, especially if you’re working in the public domain. This verification helps ensure that your practice meets the high standards expected by your clients and peers.
As an approved verifying organisation, the Reiki Association provides a thorough and supportive verification process. Our verifiers are all experienced Reiki Masters who will support and mentor candidates through the verification process if they experience any difficulty. For more information about the process, our monthly online verification clinic, or to apply, please contact us at verification@reikiassociation.org.uk.
The Verification Process
Once you apply for Verification, you’ll receive a pack with everything you need to proceed. This includes detailed instructions for setting up an observed treatment and a written questionnaire. You’ll also need to submit copies of your insurance, certificates, details of lineage, and character references.
Who Can Observe for Verification?
For your verification, the observer must be a registered health professional or a Reiki practitioner you do not personally know. They must be CNHC registered. The Reiki Association offers a list of approved verifiers. If there are any queries regarding your written paper, your verifier will reach out to you. If any part needs resubmission, this can be done within six months at no additional cost.
Non-Members Are Welcome to Apply
You don’t have to be a member to apply for verification. However, joining the Reiki Association as a member has its benefits.
