Touch for Health

*** Nervous System + Meridian Balancing for Whole‑Body Integration

What is Touch for Health?

Touch for Health (TFH) is a holistic, energy-based modality that integrates the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern muscle testing techniques to support balance in the body, mind, and emotions. Founded by Dr. John Thie, D.C., it emerged as a non-diagnostic, accessible approach to preventative wellness and personal empowerment.

At its core, TFH uses muscle testing (applied kinesiology) to assess energy flow through the meridian system and uncover imbalances that may be affecting posture, pain, mood, or performance. Through simple yet profound techniques—such as neuro-lymphatic and neuro-vascular points, meridian tracing, spinal reflexes, emotional stress release, and nutritional awareness—TFH brings the body into greater energetic alignment and coherence.

Why It Matters & Why I Use It

We often carry unseen stress in the body—physical, emotional, mental, or energetic—that subtly interferes with how we feel, function, and flow. TFH helps us listen to the body's intelligence and respond with gentle, restorative interventions that support balance on all levels.

Unlike traditional bodywork, TFH isn’t about “fixing” symptoms—it’s about collaborating with the body’s innate wisdom to restore vitality, clarity, and harmony. I was drawn to this modality for its precision, non-invasiveness, and the way it empowers the client as an active participant in their healing.

TFH speaks the language of the nervous system, the energy field, and the emotional body—helping to uncover root imbalances that might otherwise go unnoticed.

How TFH Supports Transformation

Through TFH, I support clients to:

Regulate the nervous system
Balance emotions held in the tissues
Repattern old stress responses
Restore energetic alignment to your goals
Integrate new beliefs and identity shifts into the body
Support chronic pain relief and postural recalibration

Touch for Health is ideal when clients are:

Experiencing persistent tension, pain, or energy stagnation
Moving through emotional upheaval or decision fatigue
Desiring nervous system restoration and inner harmony
Seeking a gentle, powerful reset that integrates body, mind, and soul

How I Use TFH® in My Work

Touch for Health is a foundational modality within:

Goddex Body™ – For embodied recalibration and energetic balance
Healing Intensives – To address the root of somatic or emotional imbalances
The Goddex Codes™ – Supporting nervous system regulation and subconscious repatterning
Post-PSYCH-K® Integration – To ground new beliefs into the body’s energetic field

Whether used on its own or in combination with subconscious transformation and bodywork, TFH brings a calm, clear, and regulated energy to the entire healing process.

I have completed Touch for Health® Levels 1–4 (60+ hours) through the International Kinesiology College, giving me a comprehensive foundation in:

Muscle monitoring & energy assessment
Meridian balancing
Emotional stress defusion techniques
Postural alignment through energetic balance
Nutritional and lifestyle awareness integration

Each level deepened my ability to track subtle stress patterns and apply targeted, non-invasive corrections that catalyze realignment and empowerment.

What Happens in a Session

In a TFH session, I use muscle testing to detect imbalances across the body’s energetic and meridian systems. Then, using intuitive and systematic techniques—like holding specific reflex points, tracing meridians, or activating neurovascular circuits—we restore balance and support your body’s innate healing mechanisms.

The client remains fully clothed and actively engaged in the process. Sessions are gentle, calming, and profoundly grounding—often resulting in immediate shifts in energy, emotional state, or physical tension.
