About the UK Reiki Federation

Our Organisation

The UK Reiki Federation (UKRF) is an independent, not-for-profit, professional organisation run by members for members.

Reiki is our passion. We are fully committed to sharing our expertise and knowledge with our members and the general public to increase awareness of Reiki through education & information.

Since 1999, we have been at the forefront for developing the highest standards for Reiki education, training, research, and practice. We continue to be actively involved in high-level representative groups working on revised standards for training of professional practitioners in the United Kingdom.

Now the largest Reiki-only professional organisation in the UK and Europe, we are here for every step of your Reiki journey – from finding a certified Reiki practitioner for a Reiki session, sourcing an accredited Reiki course, or practicing and teaching Reiki professionally.
