My fiance is also a certified Reiki practitioner and she struggles with the fact that the idea of Reiki is bollocks, but people come to her for treatment and say they feel better afterwards.
I take the view that having a beautiful woman (such as my fiance is) lay her hands upon you in a soothing way, in a suitably restful atmosphere, is going to have therapeutic benefits of making feel less stressed and the general feel good factor of having someone take time to care about you and try to make you feel better. So she's legit in charging for that service, even if bugger all in the way of "energy transferance" and other woo actually took place.
