You asked, we delivered! Tuning Fork Therapy Training is back.

This course aims to give you the confidence to work professionally with the BAST Method of reflection, tuning forks and muscle testing (kinesiology).

Muscle testing is used to help select the forks needed for the client’s individual needs, and students will also learn to apply different intervals and other techniques, giving you different approaches to choose from.

Starts on the 1st of October, but you can save on your tuition by booking before early bird pricing expires on the 30th of June. Request our prospectus to find out more: https://britishacademyofsoundtherapy.com/prospectus-request/
