Tellington TTouch for you®
A gentle, body-oriented method – for more calm and balance.
The Tellington TTouch for you® method was developed by internationally recognized trainer Linda Tellington-Jones. At its heart are mindful, respectful touches, combined with gentle body wraps and simple exercises. For many people, TTouch for you® can support a sense of calm, help with relaxation and contribute to an overall feeling of well-being. It is a complementary method – experiences vary from person to person and cannot be promised.
My path to TTouch
It was my son who drew my attention to this wonderful method. After his autism diagnosis, I was looking for ways to support him – and I experienced how much good this calmer, gentler way of being together did us as a family. That path led me to train as a Tellington TTouch for you® practitioner.
