By Martin Thirlwell, Reiki Tradition

Reiki Tradition School of Reiki has become one of the UK’s most trusted, respected, and reputable Accredited Reiki Training providers of professional Reiki education, particularly within the expanding field of Integrated Healthcare. As hospitals, hospices, and statutory organisations increasingly recognise the value of complementary therapies, the need for credible, standards aligned Reiki training has never been greater.
Reiki Tradition stands at the centre of this movement, ensuring that every practitioner entering a clinical environment is trained to the highest professional benchmark.
A defining strength of our organisation is our commitment to teaching Reiki to Accredited Qualification level, ensuring that every practitioner meets the nationally recognised Core Curriculum and National Occupational Standards required for safe, competent practice within Statutory Settings.
Supporting Statutory Settings with Professional Reiki Training
Reiki Tradition works closely with hospitals, hospices, and healthcare organisations across the UK, providing specialist training to staff, and management teams responsible for onboarding and verifying Reiki practitioners. These teams often volunteer coordinators, complementary therapy leads, ward managers, and clinical governance officers need clarity on what constitutes proper Reiki training.
We provide that clarity.
Our training equips staff to understand:
- Accredited Qualification Reiki Training — What an Accredited Qualification includes, how it is structured, and why it is essential for Statutory Settings.
- Core Curriculum Syllabus Standards — The nationally recognised framework that defines safe, professional Reiki practice.
- Verification Requirements — How to assess whether a practitioner’s certificate, lineage, and training hours meet the standards required for clinical environments.
- Competency Expectations — What skills, behaviours, and knowledge a practitioner must demonstrate before being accepted into a healthcare setting.
This training is invaluable for Statutory Settings, where safeguarding, professionalism, and patient safety are paramount. Staff gain confidence in identifying practitioners who have completed genuine, accredited training and those who have not.
Independent Verification and Bridging Courses
Beyond our core school programmes, Reiki Tradition operates as an independent verifying organisation. If you have undergone Reiki training outside of Reiki Tradition School of Reiki and need to check whether your current course and training meet the current curricula and syllabus standards, you can take advantage of our professional verification process.
If any part of your prior training falls short, we can provide tailored bridging courses. Upon completion, we can guarantee that you will fully meet the required Syllabus Standards to practice with confidence and credibility.
