What is Touch for Health Kinesiology?
Transforming the ancient wisdom of Chinese acupuncture meridians and techniques from various disciplines including chiropractic, naturopathy, osteopathy, and person-centred counselling, Touch for Health (TFH) offers a holistic approach to well-being. By integrating methods such as acupressure, touch reflexes, meridian tracing, nutrition, creative visualisation and mind-body techniques, TFH aims to balance subtle energies while aligning with personal goals and aspirations.
As a non-medical approach, TFH utilises manual muscle biofeedback (muscle monitoring aka muscle testing) to identify physical, nutritional, or energetic stresses and provides methods to restore balance. It addresses posture, attitude, and life energy to enhance comfort and vitality, fostering self-responsibility and awareness in understanding one's body.
TFH provides a safe and effective means to maintain health, enhance well-being, and elevate performance. Recognized for its ability to reduce pain, improve posture, alleviate stress, and support goal achievement, TFH empowers individuals to maintain optimal health and reach their full potential.
“Living the life you choose - free from negative programmes.”
Touch for Health is the most widely used system of kinesiology in the world. It was created by American chiropractor Dr John Thie in the 1970’s. The Touch for Health model does not treat or diagnose symptoms.
TFH can help you to
What happens in a treatment?
Firstly we would look at what you are requiring from the treatment and go through the consultation — this doesn’t take long and isn’t complicated. You can choose whether you would like to lie on the couch or sit on the reflexology chair — you stay fully clothed apart from your feet. You can choose if you would like some soothing gentle music on or enjoy the silence. Once you are comfortable, snug and warm we start the session — again you can choose if you would like to stay aware of the session or do as most people do and drift off into total relaxation. Perhaps not really a conscious choice — your body knows what it needs.
My Approach to TFH
I first learned of Touch for health Kinesiology and energy work through Donna Eden who I studied with in numerous training conferences over many years. So I found myself drawn to train in Touch for Health Kinesiology (TFHK) as a powerful tool for holistic healing and self-discovery. At its core, TFHK embodies a philosophy that resonates deeply with me – the belief in the body's innate ability to heal itself and the importance of addressing imbalances on multiple levels, including physical, emotional, and energetic.
One of the main reasons I choose Touch for Health Kinesiology is its gentle yet profound approach to restoring balance and promoting well-being. Unlike conventional methods that often focus solely on treating symptoms, TFHK recognizes the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit, viewing health as a dynamic equilibrium that requires attention to all aspects of our being.
Another aspect of Touch for Health Kinesiology that deeply resonates with me is its emphasis on empowerment and self-awareness. Rather than relying solely on external interventions, TFHK empowers individuals to take an active role in their own healing and self-discovery journey, providing tools and techniques that can be used for self-care and personal growth.
“Whatever you’re not changing, you’re choosing.”
In my own experience with Touch for Health Kinesiology, I have witnessed profound transformations on both a physical and emotional level. From alleviating chronic pain and improving mobility to releasing deeply held emotional patterns, TFHK has provided me with invaluable support on my journey towards greater health and vitality.
Touch for health has a whole person approach and encourages personal responsibility through increasing our awareness for self-care. I can only guide and support you, it is you and your intelligent body-mind that makes the changes and heals.
Everyone is always absolutely amazed at their body’s response to touch for health, physically feeling the changes that bring them forward into balance, vibrancy and flow. See some of my client testimonials below.
I completed my practitioner training in 2017 with TouchforHealthUK and have more recently qualified as a TFH Instructor. See Trainings. I am a member of the Kinesiology Federation and the International Kinesiology College.
I integrate many of my other health and wellbeing trainings into my TFH sessions so your bodymind has a wide array of potent modalities to choose from during and after a session. The process is elegant and easy - your body tells us what is needed through gentle muscle-monitoring as shown in the video below.
I offer TFH sessions in person and also online.
I offer a free 20-minute phone or online consultation to establish if I’m someone you might like to work with, you can tell me about what challenges you are facing right now, what you would like to change in your life, ask me questions and share any concerns.
I have found over the years that clients benefit from a minimum of three TFH sessions in order to experience a significant change.
Initial 3-session package
| 3x 60-minute sessions | 3x 90-minute sessions | Subsequent sessions |
|---|---|---|
| £180 | £225 | £60 for 60 minutes or £75 for 90 minutes. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Kinesiology is right for everyone because we are asking the body using muscle biofeedback what it needs to rebalance. The body knows best and can tell us what is the priority for healing from the menu of balances offered. This leads to the optimal healing path and the quickest route back to health.
I can tune into your energy and test for you remotely during a Zoom session and then we would do the balancing points together with me talking you through the balance just as I would do in an in-person session but you would be holding your own points for example.
No touch for health is carried out fully clothed
That depends on the individual , the goal or aspiration. I ask for a commitment to an initial 3-session package which can be followed by individually booked sessions. Most clients experience a significant shift after three sessions.
We will discuss what you would like from the session and create a deep meaningful goal for your body i.e establishing where you would like to be on a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual basis. We would then proceed to ask the body where it needs balancing to clear the pathway to that goal. Next we will go through a series of balances which may include holding points, tracing meridians, finding foods that raise the energy, affirmations and many others.
Just be hydrated (drink water before your session) and have some idea of what you want to work on.
That depends on the individual session, for some it’s calmness, for others it could be energised.
Keep hydrated and take it easy for the rest of the day. Depending on what comes up in the session, you may be given some points to rub for a few days.
No, not necessarily just the goal or where you would like to be. There is no need for you to reveal anything you are not comfortable with or if you suspect there is something you cannot remember. All sessions are totally confidential.
Yes! The balances we do in the session may be rebalancing things that have happened during childhood.
Yes. By removing triggers, rebalancing emotions and energy lines and learning self-help tools, TFH has in my experience been very effective in shifting habits.
The same as any other goal or aspiration, clearing the pathway. TFH can help release old patterns and bring in positive self belief.
Yes. We would use surrogate testing where the parent (generally) would have the rebalancing performed on their own body whilst being in physical contact with their child.
