Your form will be processed right away. (You do not need to have a PayPal account to use this option.) With this option we will need to manually activate your account which may take from 1 to 24 hours (usually done immediately) and we will then send to you an email to let you know that your membership has been activated and you may then login at your convenience. If you pay by echeck, we will activate your membership registration when your check clears which usually takes 5-10 days, and will send to you an email to let you know that your membership has been activated and you may then login at your convenience.

(You do not need to have a PayPal account to use this option.)
How will the payment appear on my credit card statement?
If you paid by credit card using our Payment Option 1 it will show on your credit card statement as "IARP LLC" or "International Association of Reiki Professionals LLC". If you paid using our Payment Option 2, our business PayPal option, it will appear as "Internation".

With this option we will need to manually activate your account which may take from 1 to 24 hours (usually done immediately) and we will send to you an email to let you know that your membership has been activated and you may then login at your convenience.

Why do I need insurance to practice Reiki?
The IARP Liability Insurance Program works to protect you and your practice. It is unfortunate but a reality that we live in a litigious society and it is important to protect yourself and your family should a lawsuit occur. Carrying insurance also adds a level of credibility and professionalism for Reiki. Insurance helps to recognize Reiki as professional and mainstream, raising awareness and credibility of our beautiful healing art to the traditional medical community and the general public. Hospitals and other medical settings often require practitioners to have insurance in order to practice in these environments, so taking part in the insurance program can open up new doors for you and your practice.
Do I have to get insurance?
No, your participation in the insurance program is entirely optional. We do recommend that you have insurance to protect yourself and to expand the number of venues where you can practice or teach Reiki.
Where do I get more information on the insurance coverage?
See Member Liability Insurance above and click on the appropriate country where you reside form the drop-down menu to learn more about the specific plans available. When you join or renew you will be sent information and applications promptly so that you may choose the best insurance plan for you if you wish to have insurance.
What countries is the insurance available for?
IARP currently has insurance programs available for residents of the USA, Canada, and the UK. We are working on adding Australia insurance and will announce when this is available.
How do I obtain insurance?
Register and join with IARP Professional Membership. We will then email to you within 24 hours (usually sooner) information and access to the online insurance applications, processed right away, as well as printed applications for the IARP Liability Insurance Program. You must be a current IARP member in good standing to participate in the insurance programs; insurance plans start at US$125 for the US Program, CAD$250 for the Canada Program, and £55.00 for the UK Program.
I am starting a new job and need insurance now – what should I do?
Complete the online IARP membership registration form and upon receipt we will then send to you your IARP Liability Insurance Program insurance instructions email so that you may apply for insurance right away. We will send to you a link to the online insurance form (USA) and you can apply online for insurance immediately. Your insurance application will be received right away and you will receive an email confirmation right away when you purchase insurance. You are usually sent your insurance documents within a day or within a few days by email or by mail. You can print and present your confirmation email in the meantime to your employer until your documents arrive. If you are an international member and if you need insurance immediately, after you complete the IARP Membership Registration form please email Member Services to let us know that you need insurance right away and we will assist you.
What is an Additional Endorsement? How to I obtain one?
An Additional Endorsement can be added to your policy, if applicable, to add your business entity, employer or landlord. In some but rare cases, landlords, spas, hospitals, etc., might request that you have them listed as an additional endorsement and we can accommodate this for you. There is a place to list Additional Endorsements on the insurance application. You may add additional endorsements any time during the year if the need arises by calling the phone number on your insurance policy.
My landlord or employer asked to be listed on my insurance policy – how can I do this?
There is a place to list Additional Endorsements, if applicable, at the bottom of the insurance application. On our most popular USA insurance plan there are no added costs for up to ten additional endorsements. You may add additional endorsements any time during the year if the need arises by calling the phone number on your insurance policy.
I need to change my name, update my address or other information on my current insurance policy – how do I do this?
Simply call the phone number on your Certificate of Insurance for assistance.
I practice a modality that isn’t listed for insurance coverage – what should I do?
If there is a modality that you would like to see added for coverage consideration please send Member Services an email with information regarding that modality in the body of your email to us. This information needs to include a description of the modality and a description of a typical session. Current coverage can always be found at Liability Insurance.

What is an Enhanced Listing?
By selecting and upgrading your membership to include an Enhanced Listing you will be able to add your website URL and a direct link will be provided to your site with your listing at the Online Registry. You can add this feature at Add Services from your Members Area after you have logged in at Member Login.
What is the Personal Web Site option?
IARP offers your own low-cost one-page website that acts as a brochure for your services and classes that can enhance the number of referrals that you receive. A direct link is provided to your site at your name at the Online Registry. Your site also has its own URL so you can send your potential clients directly there for information on your specific services or list your web address on your business cards and promotional materials. You can update and edit your site as often as you wish, upload pictures and there is no monthly fee. Your website will stay valid as long as you are a current member in good standing and do not let your membership lapse. See Add Services in your Members Area after you login to learn about or to add this option.
How do I get an Enhanced Listing or Personal Web Site added to my membership?
You can select one or both of these at the Add Services form in your Members Area after you login. After you complete the form they will be added to your membership immediately. Your website will be linked if you have chosen and Enhanced Listing and you can create My Web Site from the Members Area if you have added a Web Site. Follow instructions at the top of the page to easily create your web site.
I just completed training in a new modality. How can this be reflected online?
You can update your modalities by logging into your Members Area at Member Login and accessing Member Profile at the left-side Members Area menu. Simply update, add or edit modalities on page two. The first page when you click Member Profile will be your address and phone information, review and/or edit these and then click Continue at bottom of page to access page two which contains your modalities. Make any updates to your modalities and click Continue at the bottom of the form. Your updates will be reflected online immediately.
I am an IARP member. How can I find out if there are any other Reiki Practitioners or Teachers near me?
Just enter your own zip code in the Find a Reiki Practitioner or Teacher section and it will provide you with the names of other IARP Members near you. We encourage members to reach out and meet others in their communities. Why not host a Reiki Share or get-together?
Someone I know needs a Reiki Practitioner or Teacher in their area in the USA but I don’t know their zip code – how can I find them?
The locator function is Zip Code, Province or Country driven. In the USA, you will need to enter a zip code in an area that you are seeking a Reiki professional. If you do not know the zip code you can easily obtain it on the US postal service website – www.usps.com under Look up a Zip Code. Just enter the City and State that you are looking for and it will provide you with a valid zip code.
I practice a modality that isn’t listed, can I get this added?
We recommend that you use the Personal Web Site feature so that you can expand on all of the services that you offer.
I see many different types of Reiki listed but I do not see one of the types that I practice. What should I do?
We try to list all recognized types of Reiki, but the list keeps growing so we have included Reiki types based on the number of members that practice them. If we notice that a particular form of Reiki is becoming increasingly more popular we will add it as a separate category.
When I log into the website the printing is too large/small, difficult to read, doesn’t fill the full page, etc., why?
A website will appear differently on each individual’s computer. Our programmers have tried to anticipate any problems or variations but if your computer displays our information differently it could be due to the setting you have on your computer, the age of your computer, the operating system software, and the internet browser or form of internet service you have. As much as we have attempted to accommodate everyone’s computer settings, yours might be different and therefore it may produce different results. To make your print appear larger, if you are using Internet Explorer, at the very top menu click View, then click Text Size and choose your text size. To make the page appear larger use the full screen view on your browser.
When I put my mouse over the green question mark on some of the pages to find the answer to a question, the answer block gets cut off at the right or bottom - how can I view the full answer?
To view the full answer text block, simply use your scroll bar on your browser window at the right or at the bottom to scroll further to see the full page, or click the full page screen view at the top of your browsesr window. Then mouse over the answer and you should be able to see it fully.
When I try to access the site it takes a long time to load – what can I do?
It may likely be that your ISP, internet service provider, is not loading our site properly for some reason. This occasionally happens with certain ISPs with other websites so it is not necessarily an IARP site issue. So, as a workaround solution that might help, go to www.google.com and type in IARP in the search engine and click enter. Click the second link that says IARP Registration. Then the site may show up more quickly on your screen. You can then navigate the site from there. If you are still having troubles contact your specific internet service provider and make them aware of the problem so you can ask them to fix whatever the issue may be with loading our site (and any other sites that may be slow-loading for you). Also please email us to let us know the browser and version you are using (i.e. Internet Explorer 7.0) and ISP (i.e. Comcast DSL) so we can be aware of patterns and try to assist from this end.
