About Zero Balancing
Zero Balancing is an internationally recognized healing system that works with the strong energy currents of the bones through a gentle touching method done with the client fully clothed. The practice is firmly rooted in Western anatomy and an Eastern understanding of energy flows. This treatment protocol offers your clients bone-deep relaxation and tension release that allows them to let go of old patterns embedded in the body including stress and pain.
