There are two kinds of "need"; a legal requirement and a smart thing to do!
Most states do not treat Reiki as a licensed activity so no insurance is required by law. HOWEVER, if you don't have a general liability policy and don't also have all your clients each sign a waiver of liability and release prior to any instruction from you will mean that you will not practice very long!
The simple answer is, "yes", you NEED an insurance policy. Contact any local agent, and if he or his company does not write coverage for Reiki practitioners, contact your local Reiki support group or website and find one. They might also have a suggested release form that you can use.....
Good Luck!!

I don't have a clue what a Reiki Healer is, but any time you open a business you should have insurance! Not to mention an attorney on retainer.

I would say that depending on your state law, the only thing you would need for sure is liablity for personal property (someone slips and falls) and the contents of the business in case of fire or theft. Unless you are under the licensure of say the state board of nursing or massage therapy or something then you probably dont have or need malpractice insurance ( I do know what Reiki is & have had it before- some states put you into different categories, and my bet is that you are unlicensed and that you dont even qualify for malpractice insurance, unless you are also a massage therapist or a nurse.)
good luck

You usually need some form of public liability insurance for any business. Also, being a lady you would be a Reiki Mistress.

general business liability insurance is always a good idea. i don't know if there are policies for reiki practitioners specifically, which would of course be more desirable if available. check with ABMP, AMTA, IMA (massage organizations) to see if they offer that coverage or know of anyone who does. incidentally, if you ARE an mt, your reiki services may not be covered by your massage policy.

Yes best to be safe, I think it is a public liability insurance or something. Good luck with your Reiki I love that sort of thing, I have just got into crystals and healing and I wish i had done it years ago. Good luck my friend!

Check with your insurance agent and give him/her a free treatment. Then they will know exactly what Reiki is and be better able to advise you.

Truthfully I don't believe you could get malpractice insurance, if that is what you mean. However you may be able to get business/personal liabilty insurance.
