Zero Balancing focuses on the skeletal system. Bone as well as ligaments, tendons and fascia are bio-conductive.

I’m hosting a Zero Balancing I workshop at my office Dec 11-13. If any of practitioners you want a hands-on way to get some CEUs, or if you just want to learn an awesome hands-on modality, I highly recommend it. ZB was founded with osteopathy and acupuncture at its core. It looks like craniosacral therapy but works on the level of the bone. I just love how deep it goes, and the quantum field aspect of it.

There is an early bird discount before Oct 11 and again Nov 11.

Feel free to pass it on!

I love Willow Hill Farm Vermont - I go a few times every year. My son and I will be heading there this afternoon. The best big organic blueberries bushes and bountiful blueberries. It’s peak now, I’d say. Maybe see you there this afternoon.

Gut Health, Probiotics, and Stool Testing

As we’ve been talking about the microbiome, you might be thinking, “how do I know what’s going on in MY gut?” Stool testing is the primary way to analyze the community in your system, and BiomeFx is the testing lab that I use in my office.

Healthy Microbiome

The microbiome is the general term for all of the microscopic organisms: bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts, etc; that live in and on the human body.
