TFC GUIDE
LEAD THE REVOLUTION
WHAT IS A TFC GUIDE?
Our mission is to shift the culture around feet and empower people with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to make foot and balance training more effective and more fun.
To do this, we need people who can lead from the front - people who practice what they preach and are passionate about helping their community thrive from the ground up.
The TFC Guide Certification will provide simple frameworks that inform a practical, evidence-based approach to foot and lower limb health as well as a clear pathway to integrate this approach into your business or practice.

YOUR GUIDE TRAINER
JIM DOONER
HEAD PHYSIOTHERAPIST
Jim is the founder of TFC Australia and has been at the forefront of TFC’s training evolution over the past 6 years.
In that time, he has travelled around Australia and the world, educating everyday people, health/movement professionals and elite sports teams about the importance of foot and balance training.
Throughout his career as a physiotherapist, working with persistent pain conditions and severe balance/mobility problems, he realised the critical importance of sustainable movement habits built upon a strong foundation of natural foot function.
Jim has purposefully explored a wide variety of modalities (gymnastics, martial arts, strength/mobility training, parkour/natural movement etc.), in the pursuit of his own movement freedom and a greater ability to help others.
Drawing from these experiences, the wisdom of TFC's community and thought leaders, Jim has created the TFC Guide Certification as the next step in this global movement.
YOUR GUIDE TRAINER
ULISES GUTIÉRREZ
MOVEMENT COACH
Ulises defines himself as a movement explorer with the mission of helping his clients find their balance and awaken their natural potential through movement, starting with their feet.
In the search for knowledge and tools to improve his own movement and help his clients' problems, Ulises found The Foot Collective back in 2019.
Curious and self-taught, trained in classic disciplines such as Pilates, Yoga and more avant-garde disciplines such as Animal Flow and MovNat, he has always sought the efficiency and fluidity of a healthier and more natural movement, in accordance with our biology and evolution.
After connecting with TFC in 2019, and that is why TFC’s mission resonated perfect sense to start rethinking the entire movement from the ground up when I met Nick, Jim and company back in 2019.
Ulises Guiterez is the leader of The Foot Collective’s Spanish community.
Since then I have collaborated with The Foot Collective in 2019, Ulises has lead TFC’s Spanish community, traveling across his home country holding in-person events to educating, sharing his experiences and raising awareness of how feet, footwear and our daily habits when moving affect our body as a whole, not only physically, but also mentally.
