About the Jikiden Reiki UK Association
The Jikiden Reiki UK Association (JRUKA) is the UK's national organisation supporting Jikiden Reiki students and teachers. We help preserve and promote the traditional Jikiden Reiki heritage while supporting practitioners and teachers in developing their practice within the UK.
Our aims and objectives set out the Association’s wider purposes. As the environment for verified Reiki practice continues to evolve, JRUKA represents the interests of its members and contributes to the development of high standards within the wider Reiki community.
Reiki in the UK is regulated on a voluntary basis. JRUKA has joined the UK Reiki Council, the umbrella organisation representing Reiki associations and practitioners across the UK. Through this membership, we contribute to the wider Reiki community while supporting our students and members in maintaining and developing their practice.
We have established a Code of Ethics and Conduct for practitioner and teacher members, helping to promote high standards of professional practice, ethical conduct and responsibility.
The JRUKA also enables practitioners to gain a verified status through pursuing an accredited professional practitioner qualification, in accordance with the requirements of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and Reiki Council. This directive is intended to support those who wish to work or volunteer as Reiki practitioners in medical and healthcare settings.
Through these initiatives, JRUKA supports Jikiden Reiki practitioners and teachers in maintaining high standards of practice, ethics and professionalism. Whether practising privately, working or volunteering in healthcare settings, or teaching Jikiden Reiki, our members are supported in developing their practice while respecting the traditional Jikiden Reiki heritage. Most of all we are a community supporting each other!

We would like to announce that Shaun McKeown, a founding member of JRUKA and a highly valued committee member, will be stepping down from the JRUKA committee team.
We are ever grateful for the incredible amount of work, time and commitment Shaun has put into the JRUKA since its inception. Shaun's visionary capability, calm, centred approach to any issue and his many skills will be sorely missed.
Thank you Shaun!
