The UK Reiki Federation (UKRF) is proud to be a CNHC Approved Verifying Organisation for Reiki practitioners.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your professional journey, we’re here to guide and support you through every stage of the verification process.
Whether you’ve trained with a UKRF Approved Course Provider or completed your Reiki training elsewhere, we offer a clear, supportive pathway towards eligibility to register with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
The UK Reiki Federation has supported Reiki practitioners for many years and is committed to promoting excellence within the profession.
When you choose the UKRF
- A supportive and friendly assessment process
- Experienced and qualified assessors
- Personal guidance throughout your application
Our aim is not simply to assess your application. We’re here to help you succeed.
Why register with the CNHC?
The CNHC is a voluntary register accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA), the independent body accountable to Parliament that oversees standards in health and care. This accreditation provides additional reassurance to the public, healthcare professionals and potential clients that registered practitioners meet recognised standards of training, conduct and professional practice.
Becoming CNHC registered demonstrates your commitment to:
- High professional standards
- Safe and ethical practice
- Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
- Working within an agreed Code of Conduct
- Providing reassurance to clients and healthcare professionals
Registration can also enhance your professional credibility and help clients feel confident in choosing a qualified Reiki practitioner.
Which route applies to you?
Route 1
I trained with a UKRF Approved Course Provider
If you completed your Reiki training with a UKRF Approved Course Provider and meet the required standards, your application process is usually more straightforward.
Route 2
I trained with another Reiki organisation or teacher
If your Reiki training was not completed through a UKRF Approved Course Provider, you may still be eligible. Our Individual Verification (APL) process enables experienced practitioners to demonstrate that their knowledge, training and professional practice meet the standards required for CNHC registration. You must also have been in professional practice for at least three years.
Route 3
I’m not currently a UKRF member
You do not have to be a UKRF member to apply for verification. Non-members are welcome to undertake the verification process, although different fees may apply.
