The cost of a treatment

If you book through my online booking service, Fresha, and/or pay with a credit card, the 50 minute treatment is $85, though getting you settled in and talking before and after the session will mean the full session will be over an hour.

I currently require you to pay for half of the treatment in advance, and will charge you for the other half after the treatment. While I’d prefer to settle up after the treatment, I’ve had enough no shows, without explanation, that I’ve changed to this system.

If you make a booking directly with me by email or text and pay in cash, the cost for the treatment is $80. I always have change. I actually prefer cash, and recognising that I don’t have to pay the booking fee and credit card fees, I can offer a small discount. If you book directly but need to pay by credit card, I can do that through the app Square, or we can do a bank transfer.

You can also buy gift vouchers through Fresha, which are paid for at the time of purchase (rather than when the treatment is).

If you cancel, reschedule or don’t show up without more than a little notice, there’s a cancellation fee on Fresha. A no show costs me: I will have spent time setting up the room for the appointment and will have blocked off my calendar when someone else could have booked in instead. But if you give me enough notice, at least a few hours please, then there’s no charge.

If you can’t afford the $85 for the treatments, I offer a concession rate of $60 to students, pensioners and those who need a little help at the moment, though you need to arrange this with me in advance, not book automatically through Fresha, and pay in cash. I don’t need proof that you need the lower rate. I’ll trust you. Some clients that have come on a concession rate to start with have come back and told me that they can afford to pay the regular rate for the next treatment.

I know that I am one of the most affordable reiki treatments in Sydney. When I started giving treatments, over 10 years ago, I charged $60 and then went up to $75 and then was $80 for a long time. I raised the price to $85 in June 2021. As I give treatments from my home, I don’t need to charge to cover the costs of a separate studio, so I understand why other reiki practitioners might charge higher. Some practitioners charge over $100 per treatment and I’ve seen a reiki massage in Sydney with the cost of $170.

So, that’s the scoop! These are the prices of a reiki treatment at Reiki Surry Hills.
