Tao of Touch is a professional training institute that bridges ancient Thai lineages with modern somatic science. The methodology focuses on trauma aware bodywork and conscious connection to create a holistic system of healing. We believe the body is a living system of energy rather than a structure to be fixed.

Mav is the founder and a dedicated educator with over ten years of immersion in somatic practices. His journey from military service to a life of peace informs his unique approach to discipline and healing. He specializes in breaking down complex energetic principles into simple and actionable skills for students.

Trauma aware touch is a methodology that prioritizes safety and nervous system regulation. It involves techniques that respect boundaries and allow for emotional release without overwhelming the person receiving the work. This approach ensures that every session is safe and grounded in science backed awareness.

Students receive a Certification of Completion issued under programs that are ISO 9001 and ISO 21001 compliant. These international standards ensure that our curriculum meets high educational and professional requirements for bodywork training. This qualification allows graduates to practice professionally or continue with advanced studies.

You can find us at global festivals and intimate retreats throughout the year. We facilitate events at major gatherings such as the Magnetic Fields Festival and various international retreats. Each workshop provides a structured framework to help you continue developing your skills after the gathering ends.
