If there is no touching involved it is not considered massage per the Campbell Muni
Code defitnion:
5.48.0202 (f) "Massage" means any method of pressure on, or friction against, or
stroking, kneading, rubbing, tapping, pounding, vibrating or stimulating the external parts
of the human body with the hands or any other parts of the body or with the aid of any
mechanical or electrical apparatus or other appliances or devices, with or without the
use of oils, creams, tonics, lotions, antiseptics, tanning products, or other similar
preparations. Massage shall further include baths, including aromatherapy, vapor,
shower, electric tub, sponge, hot towels, sauna, steam, or any other type of bath where
the essential nature of the service involves any method of pressure or friction against, or
stimulating the external parts of the human body, with the hands or any other parts of the
body;
Hope this helps.

Hello Rebecca,
Does that mean that even though there is no touch involved, reiki will be categorized as
massage?
Kindly advise.
Thank You.

Larissa,
This is the definition of massage in the municipal code so if what you do fits this
definition you would like to open your own locatio you would need a massage
establishment permit.
5.48.0202 (f) "Massage" means any method of pressure on, or friction against, or
stroking, kneading, rubbing, tapping, pounding, vibrating or stimulating the external parts
of the human body with the hands or any other parts of the body or with the aid of any
mechanical or electrical apparatus or other appliances or devices, with or without the
use of oils, creams, tonics, lotions, antiseptics, tanning products, or other similar
preparations. Massage shall further include baths, including aromatherapy, vapor,
shower, electric tub, sponge, hot towels, sauna, steam, or any other type of bath where
the essential nature of the service involves any method of pressure or friction against, or
stimulating the external parts of the human body, with the hands or any other parts of the
body;
Unfortunately we are above out limit of massage establishment permits so we are not
issuing new ones.
Some people rent space from an establishment that currently has a permit.
If you ha e any further questions feel are to Reach out via email.

Hello Larissa -
I am still learning the nuances of the permitting system from Ana Spear (CC'd on this
email).
I am familiar with Reiki therapy - I do believe the City has hit the maximum number of
massage established allowed at this time.
However, I want to defer to Ana for her experienced insight on your inquiry - as I am still
learning the system around permitting.
Thank you,
Becky

Hello Rebecca,
My name is Larissa, and I work with the Planning Division. I currently have an applicant who isinterested in obtaining a Business License for a proposed Reiki establishment. As we don’t have acurrent definition for Reiki in the Municipal Code, we asked the applicant to provide a description ofthe service, to ensure that it does not meet the definition of massage. Based on the below as supplied
by the applicant, would this in your opinion satisfy the definition of massage and/or massageestablishment, and require a massage establishment permit?
I think the applicant is looking for a quick response, so If you can get back to me early next week atthe latest, that would be appreciated.
Thanks!
-Larissa

Hello Ishwarya,
Reiki is a form of healing that originates from Japan that promotes balance, calmness andpeace to the body. During a session, I lightly place my hands on the person or above them to
direct the energy. It is accompanied by sound bowl therapy and healing music. There is nomassage component in a reiki session.
With Gratitude,
Karina Luna
