What it is
Reiki appointments in a rented room at a wellness centre, clinic or studio. You pay for room time and use the centre's reception area and existing foot traffic.
Your first three steps
- Visit local wellness centres and yoga or massage studios and ask about hourly or daily room rates
- Start with a few fixed room hours each week so costs stay low while you build bookings
- Set up an online booking page and ask the centre about listing you on their website
Who pays
Walk-in and referred clients of the wellness centre, plus your own regulars who book through you directly.
How it makes money
Fixed price per session, minus room rental. Add packages, longer sessions and occasional small workshops or group sessions.
Skills that help

Watch out for
- Room rental terms, such as minimum hours, notice periods and who handles bookings
- Professional and commercial general liability insurance; the centre may ask for proof
- Empty room hours still cost money, so avoid committing to more time than you can fill
- Avoid health claims in your advertising and keep to relaxation and wellbeing wording
- Check whether you need to register for GST/HST once revenue passes the small supplier threshold
