hello lakewillow
I practice Reiki in the England and i always have a form on which i take down some basic information such as name, address phone no etc. After talking to the client and explaining that Reiki works on our energy system and therefore can affect us on all levels i.e mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and can help to create balance and harmony within a person but should should not be thought of as a replacement for any medical treatment. I also make sure they understand that it is a hands on treatment, then at the bottom of the form i have written.."The process of Reiki natural healing has been explained to me and i am willing to accept the treatment", and ask them to sign the form.
Any pratitioner here in england should also have a public liability insurance as a safeguard not only against people suing you for any wrong doing but also against clients coming to your home or practice place and tripping over carpets or falling off the treatment couch etc.
hope this helps (also hope it makes sense as its early hours of the morning here)
