In 1976, while teaching geology in southern California in the United States, Dr. Topping took his first Touch for Health class. Intrigued, he became a Touch for Health Instructor in 1977, and began training in several other areas of holistic health. By 1980, while teaching geology at Western Washington University, Wayne decided to change careers.

Later he founded Wellness Kinesiology to provide an umbrella name for at least 17 workshops he developed which focus on stress management, defusing stuck emotions, balancing energy centers (chakras), working with emotions, biokinetic exercises, nutritional testing, allergies, overcoming addictions, weight loss, overcoming adversity, understanding personality, defusing negative personality traits, the digestive system and the eight extra meridians. He has written several books including Biokinesiology Workbook, Balancing the Body’s Energies, Stress Release, Success over Distress, Quake Busters, and Biokinetic Exercises.
