Touch For Health Education
Practical, holistic training for working with stress, balance, and growth.
What Is Touch For Health?
Touch For Health is a hands-on system for identifying and reducing stress so the body can return to balance.
It works with physical, emotional, and energetic stress through gentle muscle monitoring and simple corrective techniques. Rather than diagnosing or telling the body what to do, Touch For Health follows a self-responsibility model. The body provides feedback, and the work supports its natural capacity to self-regulate.
Touch For Health is used for personal self-care and is also taught as a foundational training for many wellness professionals. It is practical, learnable, and designed to be used safely in everyday life.
Touch for Health draws from thousands of years of healing with Traditional Chinese Medicine and over 50 years of development of Kinesiology integrating concepts from chiropractic, naturopathy, psychology, and western medicine.
