What it is

Reiki delivered at the client's location, such as their home, a workplace wellbeing day or a market or event stall. You bring a portable massage table and everything needed for a calm session.

Your first three steps

  1. Buy a lightweight portable table and prepare a simple kit and a short session menu
  2. Contact local offices, gyms, markets and wellbeing events to offer a trial session
  3. Set a travel policy and price list, then take bookings by phone or online
Who pays

Clients who prefer treatment at home, small businesses running staff wellbeing days, and event organisers.

How it makes money

A fee per session or per hour, with a travel charge for longer trips. Short 15 to 20 minute sessions at events or workplaces can add up across a day.
