Zero Balancing (ZB) is a hands-on bodywork system designed by Dr. Fritz Smith in 1973 to align the body’s energy with its physical structure. Considered to be at the cutting edge of body/mind therapies, Zero Balancing represents the integration of Eastern concepts of energy and healing with Western scientific approaches to body structure.

When structure and energy are aligned, clearer, stronger energy fields are created within and around the body. The work is gentle yet profound, noninvasive and nonmanipulative, done fully clothed with the client lying on his or her back. A session focuses on specific issues yet addresses the whole person.

Zero Balancing promotes greater harmony, balance, and integration within the body. There is nothing “wrong” that needs to be “fixed”; rather, it involves releasing what limits and no longer serves us – provided the time is right – so that we can be more present, living fully in our lives, with compassion, respect, and lack of judgment.

The desired outcome of a ZB session is: to help relieve physical and mental symptoms; to improve the ability to deal with life stresses; to organize vibratory fields thereby promoting the sense of wholeness and well being.

ZB practitioners work with clear boundaries. This allows clients to feel safe, and allows the practitioner to feel what’s happening in the client’s body without influencing it, or taking it on. There is no intentional exchange of energy between practitioner and client.

Zero Balancing is for anyone, of any age, who would like to feel more at ease in their life.

Zero Balancing works well in tandem with other healing modalities (including talk therapy), helping to deeply integrate changes initiated elsewhere.

I was scheduled for an MRI. My doctor had offered sedation for the procedure, but I don’t like feeling “out of it” afterwards. However, I had heard horror stories of claustrophobia and panic attacks, and was a little worried about how I might be affected.

By chance, I received my first Zero Balancing session from Jenny Chapin the day before the MRI. The session went extremely well; I found myself relaxing deeply on her table, and breathing more fully than I had in a long time. I realized I wanted to remember those feelings for the next day.

At the hospital the next day, before the procedure started, I lay down on the table, closed my eyes, and felt again where Jenny’s hands had been on my body. The relaxation I had felt then came back to me. When the table moved into the MRI, I was quite calm. I kept my eyes closed the whole time, focusing on the feelings of comfort and serenity that had arisen during the Zero Balancing session.

The noise of the machine was too loud to hear the CD I had brought with me, so at some point I simply listened to the noise, and somehow found myself hearing the pattern of sound beneath the noise. It was a very interesting and meditative experience.

The MRI lasted 40 minutes, but felt like only four. When it was over, I felt refreshed and relaxed, fully able to resume the activities I had planned for the remainder of the day. I attribute this mainly to the effects of the Zero Balancing session the day before.
