I'd love to hear people's experiences with Parkinson's, as two people asked me about this in 3 days.]]> Mon, 02 Feb 2026 11:19:45 +0000 www.zerobalancing.com/BOD.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=25&PID=88#88 ZBHA Community : ZB and Parkinsons www.zerobalancing.com/BOD.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=25&PID=87#87 Author: aking5961

Hi everyone,
I use massage therapy, ZB and ZB Expanded skull work with a client with Parkinsons Disease. She has lived with it for nearly 30 years and amazes me. Sometimes her tremors calm while she is on the table. I have to stay with her to help with positioning, comfort, dressing etc.
Does anyone have experience / ideas for working with those with Parkinsons? 

Thank you - Amanda King

Hi everyone,
My name is Martha Colby. I am a Yellowstone musician and a ZBer. I have been out of the ZB loop for a bit right now for a variety of reasons - De Quervains Tenosynovitis, a broken ankle and a broken wrist to name a few...  But things have healed and I was recently invited to play a concert at an amazing ranch in Emigrant, MT. It's called the B Bar Ranch.  It is managed by a dear friend of mine and is used as a yoga retreat center amongst other things.  It would be an amazing place to have a ZB retreat.  It's nestled in the mountains, there is abundant wildlife (grizzlies and moose included), tons of housing, yoga yurts, hot tub, swimming hole, hiking or cross country skiing,  and an incredibly relaxing atmosphere.  The entire ranch can be rented for under $6 K a day and that includes food, tours, activites and use of all of the facilites.  Just putting the word out there for ZB teachers looking to have a really cool course/retreat in the heart of MT, within an hour of Yellowstone National Park.  I can be reached at Marthing @ g mail.com  (no spaces) if you want to know more.  Cheers! ]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2025 13:28:44 +0000 www.zerobalancing.com/BOD.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=24&PID=86#86 ZBHA Community : What would you like to know more about? www.zerobalancing.com/BOD.asp/forum_posts.asp?TID=23&PID=85#85 Author: zbmegan

Hi ZBers!

As we are putting together the 3rd Sunday schedule for the fall and winter, I would love to hear what you want to know more about!  Respond with your ideas or request.  

Or email them to Megan at meganelaverylpc@gmail.com

For those who are new to 3rd Sundays - during the 3rd Sunday gatherings ZBHA Faculty and Certified Mentors host an Open Forum each month to explore, discuss and answer questions about Zero Balancing. Each session will have a frame for the discussions. Participants are encouraged to bring their questions, share with other ZB practitioners, and lean into the ZB community.

In this hour-long gathering we will:
  • Start with a pyramid meditation
  • The presenter(s) will open the discussion and provide insight to the subject matter.
  • Have small group discussions in breakout rooms
  • Return to large group where the presenter will field questions and discussion that arise from break-out rooms
  • Have some time after for integration, feedback & sharing
  • Participate in a brief closing ritual

Hi David Lauterstein here - based in Austin, Tx.

I met Fritz in 1986, just about 40 years ago!  Certified as faculty in 1996 with an incredible group of people from U.S. UK and Switzerland!

I have written five books on bodymind work, including Fritz' bio, "Life in the Bones," "The Deep Massage Book: How to Combine Structure and Energy in Bodywork, and my latest, co-written with Dr. Jeff Rockwell, "The Memory Palace of Bones: Exploring Embodiment through the Skeletal System."

Lately I've been preoccupied with the periosteum and its wealth of sensory nerves.  Also I am in an MFA Program concentrating on poetry through Pacific University.  I am looking forward to teaching and exploring through words, ZB and touch - the poetry of what we do.  My earlier background was in music so I bring that "to the table" as well.

Love,

David

Hi Deanna,
Great to read your post and see all that you are up to serving and nurturing the growth of ZB and Process Acupressure in the midwest. I knew about the discussion forum but up until today, I hadn't explored the website in order to use it. I can picture you on your 3.5 acre property, and imagine the wildlife that live there along with you. How fortunate! Have a great day and thanks again for such a detailed introduction.

Hi, I'm Deanna Waggy. I'm a holistic Occupational Therapist with a private practice in South Bend, Indiana. My husband Loren (also an OT and certified ZBer) and I enjoy living on our 3.5 acre wooded property that we share with the local wildlife. We have been supporting a growing ZB community in South Bend, IN since 2011.

I am currently the only active faculty member teaching classes in both Zero Balancing and Insight Acupressure (formerly Soul Lightening International). I teach classes 2 - 3 times a month most of the year.  I have a passion for being a bridge between the communities that Fritz and Aminah created. The two techniques integrate well with each other in a beautiful Yin Yang relationship. I especially love learning and teaching the 5 Element Meridians classes for Clinical Acupressure certification, and hope to eventually offer the full Zero Balancing certification track in the Midwest. I am especially interested in inspiring new OTs to learn ZB.

I am interested in supporting practitioners as they learn to embody the principles and become certified in either/both of these powerful therapies. I provide technical and administrative support for Insight Acupressure as a volunteer. I also support a number of ZB and Insight Acupressure practitioners as they create a holistic practice, build an online presence, explore ways to market their practice and tap into their circles of influence. I love creating graphics and fliers to promote our work. You can find resources to share with others at https://deanna-waggy.mykajabi.com/zero-balancing-resources

I am curious how we can empower our ZB practitioners to collaborate with faculty to build strong ZB communities by offering ZB sessions to potential new students and hosting ZB I & II classes in new communities.

One of my first signals that I need to improvise is if I find my mind wandering, I stop paying attention.  Which I guess is a way of saying "something isn't working".
