This course is designed for practitioners who want to deepen their ability to create a stronger, safer, and more ethical therapeutic container for their clients.

Through self-enquiry, discussion, and practical exploration, we’ll look at how the therapeutic relationship itself can become a powerful foundation for healing and transformation.

Learn to work more skillfully with clients who have experienced trauma or difficult touch experiences, while also strengthening practitioner ethics, confidence, and clarity.

Participants often share that this material is immediately applicable and deeply impactful in both their professional and personal lives.

Given that one in three people in the US* has or will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, it’s inevitable that some of our clients will face cancer. How can we prepare ourselves? What knowledge, hands-on skills and deep compassion do we need to cultivate for ourselves and our clients?

Join Amanda King, who with Efrat Livny is re-launching the Bridges to Wholeness: ZB for those Affected by Cancer in-person class in November 2026 for certified Zero Balancers. Zero Balancing, which amplifies wellness in support of the whole person, is a wonderful support for those facing serious illness.

Freely Movable Joints:
Expand Your ZB Knowledge Beyond the Core Protocol

Have you taken Freely Movable Joints recently? In 2025, the class, developed by Dr. Fritz Smith, received an infusion of new energy. Teachers Lisa Berger and Megan Lavery revisited, reviewed and provided excellent updates to the Freely Movable Joints (FMJ) study guide to ease learning, highlight FMJ principles and to give students the confidence to create their own fulcrums for ankles, knees, wrists, shoulders and more. This year, ZB teachers are excited to be teaching this wonderful class, so 2026 is a great time to take this class near you. FMJ is a 25-hour program that counts toward the 100 hours of courses required for ZB certification.

Experiencing the Power of Zero Balancing is now 10 years old!

This important book of 25 case studies, edited by Veronica Quarry and Amanda King, shares many ways that people have used Zero Balancing to improve their lives. Movement, mood, balance, integration and embodiment can be positively impacted by one or more Zero Balancing sessions.

As one client states: "[my ZB practitioner] and I are still working on my ribs, but my pain has gone from a roar to a whisper, which is the most wonderful and liberating outcome I could ever hope for!"

It's with great sadness that we celebrate and honor the life of Tom Gentile who passed on Saturday April 4.
//\\
Tom Gentile, a lifelong friend, father, ZB practitioner and teacher, Rolfer and Five-Element Acupuncturist, passed away on April 4. Tom was a creative spirit who was passionate about Zero Balancing and who loved sharing ZB. Since training to teach ZB with Dr. Fritz Smith in 2004, he generously offered his time, skill, wisdom and good humor in classes and trainings around the country. So many of us were touched and transformed by Tom's fulcrums.

At the request of Tom family, the Zero Balancing Health Association has created a Tom Gentile Scholarship Fund.

May this fund continue Tom’s wonderful contributions to ZB over the years and spread and amplify the light of ZB throughout the world. We miss him so deeply, yet his light shines on in our hearts.

Ways to contribute:
1) By credit card: https://donate.stripe.com/00w7sMdWmdhD55VaEj8so0c
2) By check: Make your check out to the ZBHA and send to ZBHA Scholarship Fund c/o Megan Lavery, 2762 Forest Ridge Rd., Fernandina Beach, FL 32034. Please note as donation in Tom’s name.

Please share your stories and memories of Tom in the comments below.

What you don't know is

infinite

What you don't know

will always be infinite.

Stand in what you know,

open to what you don't know.

SUNDAY FEB 1: Journaling to Deepen Presence & Practice
with Amanda King, ZBHA faculty

Details and register:
https://www.zerobalancing.com/ev_calendar_day.asp?date=2%2F1%2F26&eventid=680

By writing or drawing in a journal, we can consciously identify and explore our edges, experiment with new approaches, and build confidence in ourselves and our work. The journaling process can help us to celebrate our strengths, have more compassion for ourselves, trust what we feel, and amplify our presence, ease, and embodiment – which makes our work more rewarding for us and our clients.

In this 2-hour class, through a combination of discussions and embodied writing exercises, students will learn:
• The benefits of journaling for Zero Balancers
• Ways to connect to your inner wisdom
• Ideas to make journaling a joyful and sustainable practice
• Mining the wealth of insights found in your journal
• Resources and support to keep you writing and engaged
