Story

I am passionate about Zero Balancing and what it can achieve. So much so, I have gone from being a client of Anne Kershaw to studying Zero Balancing with Anne to become a certified practitioner with the Zero Balancing Association New Zealand/Australia (ZBANZA).

Zero Balancing is a gentle non-invasive way to deal with stress. It is beneficial for a wide range of people and is effective in many ways. The integration of western knowledge of body structure with an eastern understanding of energy and healing.

Zero Balancing originated in the USA from Fritz Smith in 1973, a doctor of Osteopathy, master of Acupuncture. It is the first bodywork technique to focus on body energy with body structure, using a skilled touch known as "interface", it is gentle and non-invasive, yet a powerful system that balances energy in the deepest tissues of the body - the bones, and ligaments.

Zero Balancing works with your body using specific finger pressure and held stretches called fulcrums. A fulcrum provides a point of stillness around which energy and structure can reorganise.

Pain often occurs where energy flow is blocked, or weakened. This can be caused by emotional or mental stress or as a result of an accident or injury. Zero Balancing works with the whole body whilst being able to address specific areas of physical pain.

Zero Balancing may help . . . .
Symptoms from blocked excessive energy

Some people describe experiencing "tension melting away", " sinking into the table" .

Zero Balancing is firmly established in the USA, UK, Europe, New Zealand and Mexico.

Zero Balancing is done on a massage table fully clothed. A typical Zero Balancing session is an hour.

Zero Balancing is a non-diagnostic system. Zero Balancing works alongside medical treatment and is not a substitute for.
