Prices, Documents, and Legal Status: Comparing Three Reiki Masters
1. Prices: Who Is Transparent and Who Hides Them
The first sign of an honest master is a public price list on their website. This study covered three popular Russian-speaking Reiki masters.
Olesya Dobrovolskaya (treningi.site) — prices are open
| Level | Format | Basic | Premium | Individual |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Online | 10,000 ₽ | 22,000 ₽ | 20,000 ₽ |
| Level 1 | In-person (Sochi) | 10,000 ₽ | 19,000 ₽ | 17,000 ₽ |
| Level 2 | Online | 12,000–13,000 ₽* | 22,000 ₽ | 27,000 ₽ |
| Level 3 | Online | 29,000 ₽ (group up to 8) | — | 45,000 ₽ |
* Discount for own students; students from other schools pay more.
Important note: the phrase «international standard diploma» on the site is a marketing term. No international accrediting body for Reiki diplomas exists.
Irina Kozlova (reikitravel.ru) — prices partially disclosed
| Product | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Moscow intensive (1 day) | 7,990 ₽ (first 12 seats) / 9,990 ₽ (next 15) | Master class «Reiki with situation», lottery |
| Reiki Lovers Club | Not disclosed publicly | Monthly and annual subscription with auto-billing — details only after registration |
⚠️ Refund condition: «No refund after 29.11.2025» — a strict clause in the offer, stated three weeks before the event.
Natalya Vesna (reiki-vesna.ru) — prices deliberately hidden
The site loads pages with «р.» placeholders without figures — prices are deliberately hidden from indexing. A typical infobusiness trick: force the user to write in Telegram and enter the funnel.
2. «Psychotherapist of the European Registry» — How to Verify
Irina Kozlova claims she holds the European Certificate in Psychotherapy (ECP), obtained in 2004 through «Grandfathering» — recognising established specialists without a standard exam.
ECP requires renewal every 5 years. A 2004 certificate may have lapsed. No direct link from Kozlova’s website to her EAP registry entry is provided.
| Method | Evidence base | Recognised? |
|---|---|---|
| CBT (cognitive-behavioural) | Thousands of RCTs | Yes |
| EMDR | 30+ RCTs for PTSD | Yes |
| Transpersonal (Grof) | Single uncontrolled studies | No |
| Reiki | No RCTs above placebo | No |
3. Why OKVED 47.91 and Not 85 or 86?
Most Reiki schools register under OKVED 47.91 — «retail trade via internet». Why not 85 (education) or 86 (medicine)?
| OKVED | Requirements | Why not used |
|---|---|---|
| 85.x — Education | Rosobrnadzor licence, FGOS-compliant programmes, quality control | Slow, expensive; students get tax deduction — draws FTS attention |
| 86.x — Medicine | Roszdravnadzor medical licence, sanitary standards | Impossible for Reiki — not a recognised medical practice |
| 47.91 — Internet retail | Nothing — just register a sole proprietorship | That’s exactly why they use it |
Final Conclusions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can the EAP registry be checked? | Yes, manually at ecp.europsyche.org — but Kozlova never provides the direct link herself |
| Is transpersonal psychology evidence-based? | No. Not listed by APA/NICE/WHO |
| Why OKVED 47.91? | To avoid licensing, remove liability for results, simplify taxes |
| Most transparent pricing | Irina Kozlova: intensive 7,990–9,990 ₽, all listed openly |
