Become a Touch for Health Instructor
Take your Touch for Health journey to the next level
This in-depth training is designed to deepen your understanding of Touch for Health, including its history, philosophy, and the theoretical foundations behind its many powerful reflex techniques. You’ll also gain essential teaching tools—from presentation skills and group facilitation to marketing strategies and course logistics.
Through hands-on practice and guided presentations, you’ll build confidence in both using and presenting TFH techniques, whether in one-on-one sessions or group workshops.
This course emphasizes the educational and self-responsibility model at the heart of Touch for Health and is open to anyone seeking to expand their knowledge and skill set—whether or not you plan to teach.
Upon successful completion of the training and open-book assessment, you will be eligible for certification as a Registered Touch for Health Instructor with the IKC. This authorizes you to teach TFH Levels 1–4, offer short courses, use official IKC manuals, and issue internationally recognized certificates.
Even if teaching isn’t your initial goal, you may find yourself newly inspired—and you’ll leave with a profound appreciation for the self-responsibility model as a transformative approach in your client work.
