Wayne is a New Zealander with a PhD in geology. He became a Touch for Health Instructor in 1977 in the United States. While Wayne loved teaching university-level geology, his new fascination for kinesiology and holistic health led to a career change in 1980. He then trained with John Barton at the Biokinesiology Institute in Talent, Oregon to become a Biokinesiology Instructor. He has since trained with over 30 developers of kinesiology courses. While based in Bellingham, Washington for 30 years, Wayne co-founded Topping International Institute, Inc., wrote six books, founded Wellness Kinesiology and developed 18 of its courses, and taught extensively in 23 countries.
Wayne has also continued his passion for Touch for Health. He became an International Kinesiology College faculty member for the United States in 2000. In 2010, Dr Topping moved to the United Kingdom where he founded the Wellness kinesiology Institute. He is currently IKC faculty for Russia and Hungary, previously served on the TFH School board and is currently on the Personal Development School board.
