If you've found your way here, you may be ready for something beyond traditional approaches to healing. Perhaps you've tried massage, chiropractic care, physical therapy, counseling, or medical treatment and still feel like something is missing. Or maybe you're navigating grief, anxiety, a major life transition, chronic pain, or simply a feeling of being disconnected from yourself.
Energy healing offers another way of understanding and working with the body.
What Is Energy Healing?
Energy healing is based on the understanding that there is an energetic aspect of the human body that exists before it manifests as physical form.
Everything in our physical reality first exists as potential before it becomes tangible, and your body is no different.
Our thoughts, emotions, experiences, beliefs, and actions continually influence how we experience ourselves physically. From this perspective, the purpose of energy healing is to help restore balance by clearing restrictions within the body's energetic system so that the physical body can express itself more freely.
Rather than viewing the body as a collection of separate parts, energy healing recognizes the interconnected relationship between body, mind, and spirit.
How Zero Balancing Fits Into Energy Healing
Zero Balancing is the primary energy healing modality I use in my practice.
Unlike traditional massage, or Reiki, Zero Balancing works through gentle touch, traction, and skilled contact with bones and joints, which are considered powerful pathways into the body's energetic system.
The intention is not to force change, but to create the conditions in which the body can reorganize itself naturally.
The experience of Zero Balancing is often easier to understand through analogy than explanation. Some have compared it to smoothing out a crumpled piece of paper until it returns to its natural shape. Others describe it as removing the rocks and branches from a stream so the water can once again flow freely.
While those images are helpful, they are only metaphors. In my own practice, people most often describe experiencing an unexpected sense of peace, profound relaxation, and a feeling of being more fully present in themselves.
My Approach
My approach to energy healing has been shaped by nearly four decades of studying the mind-body connection and human consciousness as well as my years as a body work practioner and a yoga student and teacher. That combination of study, clinical experience, and intuitive practice allows me to offer a gentle approach that honors both the structure and the subtle energetic qualities of the body.
What Makes Zero Balancing Different from Massage?
Instead of focusing primarily on muscle tissue, Zero Balancing works through the bones and joints using gentle traction and skilled touch. In Zero Balancing, bone is understood to be a powerful pathway for influencing both the body's structure and its energetic qualities.
Sessions are performed fully clothed and typically last 35–45 minutes on the table.
Developed by Dr. Fritz Smith, an osteopathic physician and acupuncturist, Zero Balancing combines principles from osteopathy, acupuncture, and bodywork into a unique approach that works with both the body's structure and its energetic systems to promote greater balance and ease.

What Can I Expect During an Energy Healing Session?
One of the most common responses I hear is:
"I've never felt so deeply relaxed."
Many people describe feeling as though they've been "meditated." Others experience a sense of clarity, spaciousness, or feeling more like themselves again.
One longtime client, who teaches barre classes while balancing a demanding executive career and family life, says that Zero Balancing is the deepest state of relaxation she experiences anywhere.
No two sessions are exactly alike, but the intention is always the same: to help you reconnect with your body's natural state of balance.
Who Can Benefit from Energy Healing?
Energy healing may be helpful if you are:
Living with chronic stress or anxiety
Navigating grief or a major life transition
Feeling disconnected from yourself
Living with persistent pain that hasn't fully responded to other approaches
Interested in exploring the connection between mind, body, and spirit
Seeking a greater sense of balance and well-being
Every person arrives with a unique story, and every session is tailored to meet you where you are.
Do I Need to Believe in Energy Healing to Benefit from It?
No. Curiosity is enough.
In fact, one of my favorite experiences occurred shortly after I completed my first level of training in Zero Balancing.
Wanting to better understand the work—and to see whether it affected others as profoundly as it had affected me—I offered three complimentary sessions to ten clients. Five were already interested in energy healing, while the other five knew very little about it.
To my surprise, the people I expected to be the most skeptical often reported some of the most meaningful experiences.
As I shared my surprise with my mother, wondering why the people I expected to benefit the least often seemed to benefit the most, she said something I've never forgotten:
"I think it's because they trusted you and kept an open mind. They let their defenses down and allowed healing to happen in a way it couldn't have otherwise."
Her words have stayed with me ever since.
That experience reminded me that the deepest healing often occurs when a person feels safe enough to let go, becomes curious about what is possible, and allows their body to release what it has been holding.
Curiosity, trust, and an open mind matter far more than belief.
Over the years, I've come to see Zero Balancing as an invitation to approach the body from a different perspective. Rather than working only where discomfort is felt, it offers another pathway—one that often allows people to experience a profound sense of ease, connection, and peace that surprises them.
Every session is unique, and my hope is simply that you leave feeling more balanced, more connected, and more fully yourself than when you arrived.
