Balance Energy & Improve Health Naturally

​

Touch for Health (TFH) is a powerful natural healing system that empowers you with simple, effective energy-balancing techniques to support better health for yourself and your family. By attending a TFH training workshop, you'll gain the confidence to integrate these tools and techniques into your daily life—improving posture, enhancing vitality, reducing stress, and promoting your overall well-being.

​

Touch for Health is for Everyone

​

Developed by Dr. John Thie, TFH was designed for people with no prior experience in kinesiology, muscle testing, or energy balancing. Whether you're young, old, or somewhere in between, TFH is a safe, accessible, and powerful way to naturally support physical, mental, and emotional health.

Getting Started: TFH 1-4 and Metaphors 

​

No matter your schedule or learning style, you can begin your Touch for Health journey in the way that works best for you.

​

• In-Person, Online, or Blended: Choose the format that fits your lifestyle.

• Flexible Scheduling: Weekend workshops, two-day intensives, or other pacing options are available.

​

Most students start with TFH Level 1, a 15/16-hour Workshop and continue through all four levels. You can also experience everything at once through the Intensive TFH Synthesis Course (a 60-hour weeklong training that includes TFH levels 1-4).

​

Metaphors is a supplemental training that enhances your TFH skills and can be taken after TFH level 2.

Proficiency Certification
 

After completing TFH Levels 1–4, you’ve gained a powerful set of skills for balancing energy, reducing stress, and supporting wellness in yourself and others. The Proficiency Workshop is where you bring it all together. Successful completion of this workshop culminates in an official certification in the TFH training system.

​

The Proficiency Workshop provides a unique opportunity to:

​

• Validate Your Skills: Demonstrate your competency and receive recognition for the knowledge and techniques you’ve mastered.

• Build Confidence: Fine-tune your practice through feedback, coaching, and assessment, so you know you’re applying TFH accurately and effectively.

• Strengthen Your Foundation: Deepen your understanding of the system as a whole—connecting the pieces of all four levels into a seamless, confident practice.

• Gain Credibility: Whether you use TFH personally, in your family, or professionally, certification communicates that you’ve completed the full program and achieved a recognized standard of excellence.

​

Instructor Certification

​

Instructor Training is the natural next step after Proficiency. It transforms your personal TFH journey into a pathway of influence, legacy, and contribution — ensuring this life-changing system reaches more hearts, hands, and homes. Becoming a Touch for Health Instructor is more than teaching techniques — it’s stepping into a leadership role that carries forward Dr. John Thie’s vision of “One person, one balance at a time.”

​

The Instructor Training Workshop is a comprehensive 60-hour program that provides an International Certification from the International Kinesiology College (IKC) — recognized worldwide as the gold standard in TFH training.

This advanced workshop gives you the tools and confidence to:

​

• Share Your Passion: Transform what you love about TFH into a powerful teaching practice that inspires and empowers others.

• Deepen Your Mastery: Teaching sharpens your skills — the best way to learn is to teach, and guiding others expands your own understanding.

• Multiply Your Impact: Instead of helping one person at a time, you equip new students to bring TFH into their own families, communities, and practices.

• Join a Global Community: As an instructor, you become part of an international network dedicated to spreading self-care, balance, and wellness.

• Gain Professional Recognition: Instructor status sets you apart as a certified leader within the TFH system — a credential that carries both respect and responsibility.

​

Workshops are offered across the U.S. and worldwide, led by certified instructors who are ready to guide you. You’ll find detailed descriptions of each course on our Courses page.
