Common Questions When Starting a Reiki Business

Christian | Standing Stones Healing Co.

Starting any business is challenging, and a Reiki business is no different. But a Reiki business comes with its own unique challenges. The process of starting can be confusing and overwhelming with so many questions. These are some of the most common questions and concerns...

Starting a Reiki business comes with unique challenges and questions. One common concern is whether people will pay for Reiki services. With Reiki being relatively less known compared to other modalities like yoga, it's natural to question its market demand. But yes, people do pay for Reiki, and there is genuine interest in its benefits.

Another challenge specific to Reiki businesses is understanding insurance requirements. There are multiple types of business insurance, and many Reiki practitioners wonder what type of insurance they need and how to choose the right coverage. Because there are so many different kinds of Reiki business models, one insurance does not fit all Reiki businesses. In the Build Your Reiki Business program, I dedicate a whole section to address this topic, providing clarity and guidance on selecting appropriate insurance for your particular Reiki business.

Taxes and budgeting are also areas of concern for aspiring Reiki business owners. Many Reiki-types are less interested in numbers and money and more interested in connecting and serving, and understanding how to handle taxes and separate personal and business finances can be daunting. In Build Your Reiki Business, I show you how to separate your personal and business finances, explain how federal taxes work, and show you how to write off business expenses (including for the cost of the Build Your Reiki Business program!). You'll gain confidence and knowledge to navigate these challenging aspects of Reiki business...and your accountant will love you!

Accepting payments is another important consideration. You may wonder how to set up payment processing and create intake forms for your clients. In the program, I provide step-by-step guidance on payment processors, share alternatives for accepting payments, and offer valuable insights on creating effective intake forms. You'll have the tools to streamline your payment processes and provide a professional experience for your clients.

Building a strong online presence through a website is important in today's digital age. But many Reiki practitioners feel uncertain about how to create and maintain a website. In the Build Your Reiki Business program, I guide you through the entire process, from purchasing a domain and selecting web hosting to website design and what to put on it. You'll learn the three things you must have on your website and make your website stand out from other Reiki business websites. 

New Reiki business owners have plenty of questions, but these are a few of the most common. I'm honored to be able to offer comprehensive information on all of these topics (and so many more!) in the Build Your Reiki Business program.
