Zero Balancing I and II with David Lauterstein in Costa Rica

We are musculo-skeletal beings, yet most therapists focus only on the muscular side of that equation. That addresses only half of that system!  Zero Balancing – by adding a mindful focus on the bones, key joints, and the energy flowing through them, as well as on the soft tissues associated with them – for the first time, also gives you access to the deepest layer of the person – who they are in their bones – thus Zero Balancing adds a much-needed wholeness to your work and your clients’ experience.  Zero Balancing is the missing piece in the world of bodywork and bodymind therapies.

David Lauterstein David Lauterstein has studied with Dr. Fritz Smith for 33 years and been a ZB faculty member for 25 years.  He has taught trainings internationally and nationally since 1983.  In 1989 he co-founded The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School in Austin, Texas. He is the author of three books on advanced bodywork, “Life in the Bones:  A Biography of Dr. Fritz Smith and Zero Balancing” (Upledger Institute), “The Deep Massage Book” and “Putting the Soul Back in the Body”. He is one of the most highly respected educators in the massage and bodywork realm, inducted into the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame, awarded “Teacher of the Year” by both the AMTA and the Alliance for Massage Therapy Education. His background prior to massage therapy was in philosophy and music composition. He is the composer of the massage music CD, “Roots and Branches.” He is perhaps the foremost world proponent for teaching massage and bodywork as both an art and a science.
