What Students Are Saying

“Touch for Health is valuable because it is a bridge between Western and Eastern medicine. It can be learned with a simple reference book. It is a comprehensive healing modality that can be the spring board to multiple advanced work and other forms of energy medicine. It teaches Chinese Medicine and Western Kinesiology in a way that is practical and easy to grasp.” -Lamar Bush, SBBTI 1000hr graduate, Chiropractic /Naturopathic student National University of Health Science
