Message from our President

Spring has sprung in our Northern Hemisphere, and it’s a time of growth, renewal and new beginnings. We’re constantly growing in the IKC, with new TFH instructors starting classes, the Personal Development School adding new courses and the Professional School looking at new Professional Kinesiology Provider Campuses.
Since January, we’ve been working hard to update our website, with a long list of bug fixes now updated and the databases all working beautifully. Don’t forget to add your classes here so that people can find you and what you’re teaching. Check it out at www.ikc.global and let us know what you like and maybe what you’d like to see there in the future.

Touch for Health School

I am delighted to announce that we have another new TFH apprentice trainer from Japan, Satsuki Kato.

TFH School Board and TFH Online Committee finally release a new TFH Online Guideline, please contact your Faculty for further information.

We are heading to IKC conference in Hungary and we cannot wait to see you “in person”. See you soon!

Sincerely,

Professional School

In the coming months we will be working on an online sharing space for Professional Kinesiologists. Being a Kinesiologist may be a lonely journey. We can sometimes feel isolated and we may not know who to talk to. These gatherings will create the opportunity to be more in touch with our community, share our challenges and ideas and support each other. We want to connect our Professional Kinesiologists from all around the world and to enhance community.

Thomas Holvoet, Dean of the Professional School

IKC Hour

The IKC Hour is held on the Solstices and the Equinoxes. It is an opportunity for our IKC community to come together, to meet each other and share, learn and hopefully be inspired!

Touch for Health in the Caribbean

On my first visits to the Caribbean Island of Sint Maarten, I noticed the beauty but also the major consequences of the hurricanes 4 years ago.There is still so much stress, partly because of the devastation and partly as the result of the corona virus. The majority of the population depends on tourism and this has been severely affected by covid restrictions.

In April 2021 I gave an introductory workshop there. It was a great success! We followed up with a Touch for Health 1 class in October we had 9 participants!! Fantastic!

The students were so enthusiastic. One said, “Paulien, this is what was missing on the island!”. Instead of having to go to the doctor for pills and ointments, it is great that people learn how to take responsibility for their own health again.

In April this year I have visited Sint Maarten again offering both a TFH Level 1 & Level 2 class. Stephane Ferron is now my regular point of contact for Touch for Health on the island, so maybe you will come across her name more often.

The big goal is of course to further roll out Touch for Health! How nice it would be if a group of Touch for Healthers could help everyone on the island! Maybe other instructors can come to help increase the 'snowball effect' (strange play on words for a Caribbean Island).

I feel blessed!

The Kinesiology Community sadly farewells a pioneer of Kinesiology in Australia.
A multi-skilled Kinesiology practitioner and international educator with many strings to his bow.

Kinesiologists everywhere acknowledge Andrew with his friend and colleague Don Viney for extending the “More Mode” to “More of the Same or Something Different”.

Andrew commenced his working life as a Goldsmith. His passion for muscle testing began in his late teens when he used some simple applied kinesiology applications to win a national Judo title. It was then that Andrew realised the enormous power of the muscle response, and thus began a 50-year relationship of research and development, morphing into what became known as Neuro-Training.
