Types of Reiki Jobs
There are a few options to choose from when you’re looking for a job in the world of reiki. Some of these require more certification than others, so keep this in mind as you check out these options. Remember, too, that different practices may hire different positions, and each practice has its own needs.
Option #1
Reiki practitioner
- This is the most common reiki job out there. A reiki practitioner is anyone who practices reiki on other people. You should be at least reiki level 2 before you’re able to practice on others, but some reiki level 1 healers can practice distance reiki as well.
- Many existing reiki practices won’t hire anyone who hasn’t at least obtained reiki level 3, and some require reiki mastery in order to be hired as part of the practice. Each one has its own requirements, so do your research before applying.
Option #2
Reiki teacher
- In order to teach reiki, you must be a reiki master, and you must have held this title for a while as well. Different locations require a different amount of experience before you can be qualified to teach reiki.
Option #3
Reiki center manager
- Managers of reiki centers may not have to be certified in reiki themselves, but should have at least some experience in both giving and receiving reiki healing.
Option #4
Reiki center front desk worker
- If you’re looking for a way to work in a reiki surrounding while you study it yourself, you might want to work as a receptionist or front desk worker in a reiki healing center.

Take a look at these reiki job listings to find out more about what’s required for reiki practitioners.

- The listing also mentions yoga instructors as well as physical massage therapists along with a need for reiki healers.

- This job is located in Donegal, Pennsylvania. It’s a bit different from the previous two, in that the practice wants to hire a reiki healer as a contractor instead of as an hourly or salaried employee. In essence, this is “freelance” reiki healing work, which may not be ideal for everyone but can be a good solution for those looking for experience.
- This location requires reiki certification as well as a willingness to work as part of a medical and clinical care team. There is also a management component involved in this position.

- This is a volunteer position, so there is no payment involved. It’s located in the Cleveland, Ohio area and can provide brand new reiki practitioners with a great opportunity to gain verifiable experience while spreading healing to those who need it.
- This option is a job working with Hospice patients, which means the volunteer should be emotionally willing and capable of working with patients who are terminally ill. It’s not a job for the faint of heart, but it is an excellent chance to hone reiki skills while making a difference at the same time.

Conclusion
Did you learn everything you wanted to know about reiki jobs? There’s a lot to take in, so spend some time thinking about it before you decide whether or not this path is right for you.
Of course, there’s always one question on everyone’s mind when discussing a reiki career: how realistic is it to make a living out of doing reiki? It is as realistic as you make it! Since you’ll likely own your own business when you are a reiki practitioner, it’s up to you to market yourself and make sure you’re offering services that are enticing to your community.
On the other hand, if you don’t want to own your own business, you can always work in a practice run by another practitioner. This can be more beneficial in terms of gathering clients, but it can be frustrating to not have control over your practice as well.
Keep all this in mind as you try to choose whether or not this path is right for you.
