Reiki Healing CPD (Continuing Professional Development)


Reiki in the UK has been undergoing a long process of self-regulation and as a result, recommendations have been made by a working committee to establish a more professional approach to this particular therapy.

One of these suggestions is the inclusion of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) requirements. Therapists are encouraged to continue their studies with Reiki through attending workshops and shares and incorporating new techniques into their understanding. At the moment, CPD work is voluntary but this may change as more therapies are being regulated by government bodies such as the CNHC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council).

Membership of The UK Reiki Federation requires the Reiki practitioner to complete at least 12 hours of CPD work each year (with a minimum of 6 hours specific to Reiki). They have confirmed that CPD can be gained by learning a new style of Reiki with Mark or attending one of his Reiki Shares.

One of the useful ways in which you can gain CPD hours while improving your techniques is to attend one of Mark's Reiki Shares. For more details, Click Here.

If you have studied a Western style of Reiki (such as those known as "Usui Reiki"), you can increase your knowledge and practice of Reiki by studying the Japanese style of Usui Reiki Ryoho. This system includes energy techniques, philosophies and practices that are not usually taught in Western styles, including a different perspective on the 5 Precepts. These studies also count towards your CPD requirements!

Existing Reiki students will receive a 20% discount on studying the Japanese style up to and including the level that they are trained to (click on each course title for more information):
