Over the past few months, we've been listening, reviewing and shaping the next chapter for CNHC.

We're strengthening how we communicate, engage and support our community, while building on our commitment to high standards, professional recognition and the value of CNHC registration. Alongside this, we're refreshing the way we share information, resources and opportunities with practitioners, partners and the wider public.

This is just the beginning, and over the coming weeks we'll be sharing more about the work taking place across CNHC, the changes we're making and how you can be part of what's next.

🚀 Watch this space.

🤔 Why become CNHC registered if you don't have to?

That's one of the key questions Michael Lupson, CNHC Board Member, will be exploring at this year's IPM Congress 2026.

For many complementary healthcare practitioners, registration is about more than meeting standards. It's about demonstrating professionalism, building public confidence, and showing a commitment to safe, accountable practice.

Join us as we explore the role of Accredited Registration, why standards matter, and how practitioners can strengthen trust in complementary healthcare while supporting the future growth of the profession.

📅 18 June 2026

🌿 We were delighted to attend the Mind Body Spirit Festival 2026 alongside the UK Reiki Federation during the May Bank Holiday weekend.

✨ It was fantastic to meet so many people interested in wellbeing, complementary healthcare and Reiki, while working together to promote public confidence and raise awareness of professional standards across the sector.

💜 Visitors had the opportunity to enjoy free Reiki taster sessions, learn more about Reiki, and discover how CNHC helps people make informed choices when seeking complementary healthcare services.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the stand to chat with us, and to the UK Reiki Federation for inviting us to be part of such a wonderful event.

"Reiki" means ‘universal life energy’ in Japanese, a term used to describe a natural system to help bring about an improved sense of wellbeing and a positive feeling of spiritual renewal.

Did you know that Reiki is one of the 18 complementary therapies that appear on CNHC's Accredited Register of complementary healthcare practitioners? By choosing a CNHC-registered Reiki practitioner you aren't just booking a session, you are choosing assurance, safety and standards. All CNHC registrants have met high standards of training, are fully insured and adhere to a rigorous Code of Conduct, Ethics and Performance.
