Meet Your Instructor
Thomas Gilliford
Structural Integration Practitioner
A practicing bodyworker since 2011 and FNTP since 2014, Thomas combines the practices of each to help people live their lives the way they want to. Thomas has been an instructor with the NTA since 2016 and is passionate about seeing students help to #reversethetrend of preventable poor health!
We may be a little biased, but we think Thomas' years of experience, proven record of success as an FNTP, and dedication to continued education is second-to-none! His commitment to equipping the next NTP's with this amazing skillset runs as deeply as his passion for reversing the trend of preventable poor health!
