Do you have to have a massage therapist license to practice Reiki in Rhode Island?
Does anyone know of a list of states that reiki is controlled by the massage therapist board?
I don't know of such a list, but I did find in Reiki magazine a claim that "Reiki laying on of hands healing was not to be considered massage therapy and, thereby does not require a professional massage license and educational requirements in order to be practiced in New York State."
That makes sense to me because reiki does not involve touch. Here's a link to the article, should you care to read it:
