Zero Balancing©: a Clearer Stronger Sense of Your Innate Nature

What if your life flowed more smoothly? What if good posture felt completely natural and effortless? Can you get deep relaxing bodywork with your clothes on?

Zero Balancing founder Fritz Smith MD says, "feel how good it feels to feel good?" There is a Zen saying that goes, "If you don’t get it from yourself, where will you go for it?" I believe Zero Balancing opens the floodgate of health, wisdom and flow that springs from the deepest core of who we are.

Zero Balancing© is the quantum physics of bodywork. We are touching both the structure and the energy of your body—the particle and the wave. And we do it in a way that allows that relationship between particle and wave to recalibrate with each other. In other words, Zero Balancing (ZB) brings the structure and energy of your body into a more optimal relationship with impacts such as:

  • A very immediate shift of conciousness into a meditative state
  • reduced stress and less body discomfort
  • feeling grounded in your core self and connected to the world at large
  • better postural alignment—buoyed up by the supportive field arising from the earth
  • reduced held tension at the bone level—relieving stress from the deepest tissue, from the inside out, initiating tension release on all levels

This is a revolutionary way to touch the body—a non-invasive clearer stronger field is introduced which becomes a catalyst to your innate healing capacity. It is very simple and effective and brings about sensations in your body that you may never have felt before. ZB feels gentle, specific, relaxing and meditative. When you alight from the table, you may notice a new relationship to the ground in terms of gravity and to the sky in terms of an upward ground force—a centering within the gravitational field.

In a Zero Balancing session, you wear comfortable clothes. We talk briefly about any goals you have for the session—maybe relieving stress, better sleep or reviving your energy. Or we could focus on something as uncomplicated as bringing more contentment to your life. After a short evaluation, I use gentle pressure or traction to create fulcrums in areas around the spine, hips, feet, ribs, shoulders and neck.  A session includes 20-50 minutes of table work with time at the end for integration.

I have studied with the founder of Zero Balancing©, Fritz Smith, MD, a pioneer in integrative medicine who is an osteopath and also studied Rolfing and Worsley Five-Element Acupuncture. He developed ZB in the 1970s when he became convinced that optimal health is accessible within the relationship between the body's structure—including postural alignment—and the body's internal energy flow. It is this relationship between structure and energy in the body that is the target of skilled touch in ZB.

I am deeply inspired by ZB because of the extraordinary impact it has on clients. I can do strictly ZB sessions or create hybrid sessions of ZB and massage. I lead a study group for Austin-area ZB students, and occasionally serve as a TA in Zero Balancing classes.

I get really passionate about Zero Balancing because it so deeply meets the needs of our time. ZB serves people who want to flow with the pace of our culture, who need to make good decisions, who are in a life transition , who want to achieve optimal health and self-actualization.

Come and see for yourself.
