“With over 365 acupuncture points along channels on the body, picking a favorite one is a tall order.

The Nuts and Bolts
Developed by Fritz Smith, MD in the early 1970s, Zero Balancing is a powerful body-mind therapy that uses skilled touch to address the relationship between energy and structures of the body.
