What is the WACH?

The Worldwide Working Group for Chirophonetics (WACH) was founded after the death of Alfred Baur as a voluntary association of individuals who have completed their training in Chirophonetics and are interested in the further development of Chirophonetics, both in terms of content and organization.

Since 2022, WACH has defined itself as a unifying community of delegates from schools and national associations for Chirophonetics worldwide who wish to join it. It has made it its mission to harmonize the content and organization of training at the nine active schools for Chirophonetics currently operating worldwide, as well as to ensure a high quality of training through collaborations and exchange programs.

For us, this also includes developing common ethical guidelines and CARE guidelines tailored to Chirophonetics for case presentations and publications, creating our own training courses for instructors, and coordinating research projects.

Every two years, WACH organizes a one-week working meeting for Chirophonetics therapists from around the world. Currently, the WACH leadership team consists of Angela Assenza from Italy, Mauro Menuzzi from Portugal, and Stephan Rex from Germany.
