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

  1. Visit local wellness centres and yoga or massage studios and ask about hourly or daily room rates
  2. Start with a few fixed room hours each week so costs stay low while you build bookings
  3. 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.
