Zero Balancing I
Bridging the mind and body through touch
Zero Balancing is a unique system of healing bodywork that integrates Western concepts of medicine and science with Eastern concepts of energy and healing. ZB clarifies and coordinates energy fields in the body by accessing the deepest currents of energy in the bones and joints. Developed by Dr. Fritz Smith, this course will present a holistic methodology of working with the relationship between the structure of the bones and joints and the energy flowing through them. Aligning energy and structure enhances the body’s natural healing processes, relieves symptoms caused by imbalances, releases stress, old patterns, and promotes harmony and well-being. It is a leading edge bodymind therapy, and has transformational power. In ZBI the emphasis is to learn the basic protocol and to have a hands-on working knowledge of Zero Balancing.
Zero Balancing II
Bridging the mind and body through touch
Core II is a golden opportunity to further make Zero Balancing your own.With your existing knowledge of ZB, the focus for you in this workshop will be to deepen and expand your understanding of ZB theory, principles and techniques.We will review the basic ZB protocol with an emphasis on quality of touch, attention and positioning of the practioner.

New materials and skills will be introduced to add to your ZB sessions including: additional techniques to create an expanded protocol, expanding knowledge and skill of framing, and to work with ease of posture.

Geometry Of Healing
Geometry of Healing is an advanced level Zero Balancing program that teaches students how to work directly with energy fields of the body. One learns how to access and evaluate vibratory fields, obtain information contained therein, and how to balance and clarify fields within the body. The program shows how to work with slowed vibratory fields in order to access the space, or ‘gap’, between the vibrations. This program is inspired by ideas of the New Sciences, including quantum physics, hologram theory, as well as field and chaos theories and explores how they relate to the world of touch. Many new fulcrums designed by Dr. Smith to work with field phenomena in the body will be taught, thus deepening and expanding the Core ZB protocol and its effectiveness.
Prerequisite of ZB I and ZB II; more information in the links above.

Come learn about a leading edge Body, Mind Spirit therapy and a way to enhance your body’s natural healing process. Zero Balancing integrates western concepts of medicine and science with eastern concepts of energy and healing.
Working simultaneously with structure and energy bodies to bring balance allows for release of stress before it becomes physically manifested or releases old tissue patterns and imprints supporting change and growth in an organic and integrated way.

Freely Moveable Joints
Freely Moveable Joints is an advanced level Zero Balancing course that expands the focus of Zero Balancing from the foundation and semi-foundation joints of the body to include the “freely moveable joints” of the body. Zero Balancing principles and techniques are taken beyond the Core protocol into other arenas. This is dynamic work and requires us to amplify staying grounded and centered in ourselves.
The freely moveable joints present unique therapeutic opportunities and challenges because of the variety of their anatomy and their great ranges of motion. The program will give you the skills to evaluate and balance freely moveable joints and the knowledge to devise your own fulcrums to meet the specific needs of a given situation. In Freely Moveable Joints basic ZB principles are reviewed and we highlight their application to a number of joints in light of their specific anatomy. The skills and education inherent in this course will broaden your Zero Balancing abilities and will improve your sessions. As we deepen into the work we keep learning and growing on multiple levels allowing us to stay inspired and refreshed.
Prerequisites of ZB I and ZB II; more information in the links above.
Zero Balancing Relationships
Zero Balancing Relationships is a new class that teaches us a process to work directly and consciously on the energetic field of a relationship. We learn an expansion of our core protocol in a new form with new fulcrums. You will learn about the energetic nature of relationships, how to balance chakras and how to create rhythms with two people in a variety of forms. You will deepen core principals and your ability to be at interface which will support all of your work. As we meet the donkey of relationship, we create a coherency that brings amplification for both the relationship and the individuals.
This work is complimentary to all relationships, and can be used in a variety of forms. Support global healing and expand your work into the field of relationships.
