TOUCH FOR HEALTH
Course Description:
Touch for Health is usually taught in a series of four weekends or in a week-long intensive retreat. It is the foundation of Specialized Kinesiology. Over the course of the four levels students learn how to monitor 42 muscles and a series of simple yet powerful corrective techniques. These muscles work as indicators for the 14 pathways of meridian flow.
The full Touch for Health™ Course Syllabus as approved by the International Kinesiology College is laid out below for each level. Check the schedule for upcoming classes.
Upon finishing the four levels, you can take a Proficiency Assessment as part of your criteria towards the TFH Consultant Program or in preparation for the TFH Instructor Workshop.

Our courses are taught by International Kinesiology College (IKC) instructors. These certificates are recognized around the world.

GEMS FLOW
Description:
GEMS Flow offers an easy-to-follow flow chart that allows a student or practitioner to easily figure out where the priority stressors for an individual are and what balancing technique will work to resolve these efficiently. It is based on information from the TFH synthesis and is designed to allow a practitioner to flow easily from one modality to another, incorporating the entire body of knowledge available to the individual.
GEMS also works as a bridging class for those interested in taking more in-depth Specialized Kinesiology classes, such as SIPS, LEAP, Brain Integration, etc. These classes assume that a student has knowledge of how to use finger-modes and scan sheets, work from an indicator muscle and properly stack information however none of these techniques are part of the TFH curriculum. GEMS familiarizes students with these methods so one does not feel overwhelmed when arriving to the classroom of more advanced courses.
Certification:
The GEMS College of Energy Medicine has trained and certified GEMS instructors around the world in several different languages. Our certified instructors have access to support and resource materials that are updated as needed so we can all continue to teach consistent and relevant material.
The College will distribute certificates after course attendance for GEMS courses taught through the College.
At this time all GEMS courses taught through the College are in English, however there are currently instructors teaching in Dutch, French, and Polish, and we can connect you with an instructor in your language if you are interested, or you can go to gemskinesiology.com to see the GEMS directory.
Learning Outcomes:
- Proper protocols for hand modes and stacking
- Working with the Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine
- The ability to move quickly and fluidly to the root of the issue
- Integration of all modalities under one umbrella
- Practical learning experience with demonstration
