Hi Divers! This is a different kind of episode. Instead of an interview with a Reiki master, I am being interviewed by Christian from the Reiki Business Collective.

We chat about how to define your Reiki business proposition in order to reach the people you want to serve with your practice.  The business side of Reiki is one aspect many of us struggle with, yet there is little Reiki-specific training and information about it. Often we adapt techniques to market other modalities like Life Coaching, which is, honestly, a completely different ball game.

Christian's podcast is focused on helping Reiki professionals to develop a thriving Reiki business. You can check more interviews on his youtube channel: https://youtu.be/VfXSZm2WQ3I

Enjoy!
