Reiki Healing Ethics

REIKI ETHICS

The Registered Reiki Practitioner agrees to:

Practice with complete confidentiality and utmost discretion. Any and all information discussed between a practitioner and a client is regarded as absolutely confidential.
Never reveal the name, address and any other personal details about any client, for whatever reason, to anyone unless permission is obtained from said client, having clearly informed the client of all reasons, intent or legal requirement to do so. The practitioner further agrees to never admit or verify that any person is indeed a client of said practitioner, without said client's prior and clear approval to do so.
Provide a safe and comfortable area for client sessions.
Provide an empowering and supportive environment for clients.
Always treat every client with the utmost respect and honor.
Always provide an oral and/or written description of what the client can expect to happen and experience during their reiki session and what to expect before and after a client's initial session.
Be respectful of all other Reiki practitioner's training, opinions, views and paths. The choice to incorporate said ideas and views, or learn from them, remains the practitioner's choice. The practitioner must always act and conduct their affairs impeccably.
Educate clients on the value of Reiki and explain that sessions do not guarantee healing or complete recovery.
Inform the client that Reiki is not a substitute for qualified medical or professional care, but is instead a valuable part of a wholesome wellness program.
Inquire if the client regularly sees a medical professional for any condition and to also suggest a consultation with a qualified and licensed medical professional, if a problem or situation could be considered a threat to the client's well-being in any way. Reiki is a wonderful supplement to medical treatment and the practitioner must be aware of past, current and ongoing medical treatments of their client.
Never diagnose or prescribe and to NEVER suggest that the client change prescribed treatment or interfere with treatment of a licensed health care provider.
Never ask clients to disrobe (unless the practitioner is also a legally licensed massage therapist in the country and/or state in which they practice). The practitioner agrees to be sensitive to the boundary needs of individual clients, to not touch the genital area or breasts and to only practice hands-off techniques in these areas if treatment is needed.
