Professional Reiki Practitioner Diploma in London

The Professional Reiki Practitioner Diploma represents the pinnacle of professional recognition for practitioners in the UK. This comprehensive qualification enables graduates to register with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and display the prestigious CNHC Quality Mark.

Designed for versatility, the curriculum prepares students to practice competently across all sectors, including private clinics, care homes, and NHS environments. The program is delivered through four in-person modules (in London), integrating the traditional Usui Reiki Level 1 and Level 2.

This course is designed for those looking to practice at a professional level:

• Core Curriculum: The syllabus strictly adheres to the Reiki Council’s Core Curriculum and the National Occupational Standards for Reiki.
• CNHC Registration: Graduates are eligible to register with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) via the UK Reiki Federation.
• Career Integration: Since most NHS trusts now mandate CNHC registration for practitioners, this Diploma serves as a vital credential for working within the healthcare sector.

All students start with the foundational two-day Orientation Course, which is mandatory regardless of your previous background or experience.

Once completed, you unlock access to the Ongoing Reiki Expansion Programme—a dynamic, flexible path designed to support your personal growth and professional development. To achieve your Professional Reiki Diploma (including Reiki Level 1 and 2 certifications), you must complete two further modules alongside two full-day workshops.

As a programme member, you can tap into:

• 1-Day In-Person Workshops (7 hrs): Deepen your knowledge through meditation, energetic attunements, self-reflection, and hands-on practice (typically Saturdays or Sundays, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm).
• Half-Day Online Workshops (3 hrs): Master core theoretical concepts, guided meditations, and attunements from home (typically weekend slots, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm or 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm).
• Weekly Online Gatherings (1 hr): Maintain continuous momentum with regular group energy work and reflective exercises.
• Residential Retreats: Fully immerse yourself in uninterrupted, transformative energetic work.
• Unlimited Orientation Refreshes: Revisit any day of the 2-day Orientation Course as often as you wish.
• Exclusive Newsletter: Receive direct guidance, updates, and curated learning resources in your inbox.

Your ongoing journey is completely customisable. Following the Orientation Course, you set your own schedule based on your individual goals.
