Highly recommend!

A little backstory before sharing my review of the TFC Guide Certification training in May 2026. After many years in nursing, my feet had become chronically injured and painful. I’m someone who believes in addressing root causes and building a strong foundation, and for years I was trying — often unsuccessfully — to piece together reliable information to heal my feet and the compensations throughout my kinetic chain.

I found TFC about four years into that search. Their balance assessment, Solemate kit, and step-by-step guidance were genuinely transformative for me. From the very beginning, I could feel my body adapting and strengthening from the feet up. It felt as though my brain was relearning and remapping movement in a more integrated way.

Because of this experience, I signed up for the TFC Guide Certification and flew across Canada to attend. Jim and Nick taught with both depth and generosity, weaving knowledge, wisdom, play, and genuine enjoyment into the training. I had so much fun learning & playing with everyone!
I am excited to contribute to building strength, play & community using the TFC materials :).

Such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing this, Sandra. We’re also so honoured that you travelled across Canada to join us for the TFC Guide Certification. Jim and Nick will be stoked to read your words as they pour so much depth, generosity, and play into the training, and we’re glad you felt that.

The fact that you’ve spent years searching for information that pinpoints the root causes of foot dysfunction shows an incredible level of commitment and responsibility. We’re sure your feet are grateful you’ve given them the care and attention they deserve. Welcome to the community! We are so glad to have you onboard.

Awesome weekend with Nick and Jim. It was a fun course with these two and you take home a lot of underlying USEFUL information that isn't taught in schools where you pay thousands of dollars for information you may never apply.

I feel inspired and driven, and im excited for the next steps of my journey. 100% would recommend

Thank you for your feedback, Justin! Nick and Jim were glad to have you there too. The practical, foundational knowledge that stay with you long after the weekend is over is what we always aim to deliver. So glad you found us, and we can't wait to share more along the way. Thank you for seeing the value in what we do!

Body, head and heart ❤️

Cette formation m’a comblée!

J’ai beaucoup appris, j’ai été comblée intellectuellement.

J’ai bougé souvent durant les deux jours, et j’ai déjà observé que mes orteils commençaient à se redresser.

J’ai besoin d’être en relation avec les professeurs pour favoriser mon apprentissage et tous les deux, Jim et Nick, ont contribué en étant chaleureux, souriants et à l’écoute.

Les deux formateurs sont d’excellents pédagogues.

I absolutely loved this workshop!

I learned a lot, and it was intellectually fulfilling.

I moved around a lot over the two days, and I’ve already noticed that my toes are starting to straighten out.

I need to connect with the instructors to support my learning, and both Jim and Nick contributed by being warm, smiling, and attentive.

Both instructors are excellent teachers.

Merci pour ces deux jours de plaisir!
Thank you for the two days of fun!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Chantal! We’re thrilled you loved the workshop!

It’s incredible to hear you’re already noticing changes from all the movement over the two days.
Jim and Nick will really appreciate your kind words, too. Creating a warm, supportive space where you can connect with the instructors and feel truly supported in your learning is exactly what we aim for.

Merci pour ces deux jours de plaisir. We loved having you there!

Very Valuable!

The training was well-organized, engaging, and full of practical insights that I can immediately apply in my role.

What stood out most was the quality of the facilitators — they were knowledgeable, approachable, and created an environment that encouraged collaboration and open discussion. I also appreciated the balance between structured learning and real-world examples, which made the material easy to understand and relevant.

Beyond the training itself, it was a great opportunity to connect with peers, share perspectives, and learn from others’ experiences. I left feeling more confident, informed, and motivated.

Huge thanks to everyone involved in planning and leading the program. It was a worthwhile and impactful experience.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this detailed feedback, Chelsea!

It means a lot to hear that the facilitators created an environment that felt open, collaborative, and approachable. And that the balance between structured learning and real world application made everything click.

The peer connections and shared experiences are such a valuable part of the process too, and we're glad that came through on the day.
So glad it was a worthwhile experience for you. Thank you again for taking the time to share this!
