Coronavirus (COVID-19)
All States and Territories in Australia now permit in person Reiki treatments - subject to meeting the Covid Safe and Hygiene requirements
While we know Reiki helps boost our wellbeing, we should always be responsible by staying informed about the regular updates and follow the guidelines. Reliable information links are available in the main article (click on link below).
Among the most important guidelines is washing your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
For professional Reiki Practitioners who may not wish to resume in person Reiki treatments with clients this is an opportunity to promote distant healing sessions.
