During this time of transition to autumn in the northern hemisphere, please consider taking time for bodywork for your own self-care. I'm receiving various types of bodywork weekly with positive results for my overall health and well-being. I believe self-care is not a luxury. Self-care is a necessity to navigate the stressors around us, especially with the daily news, the energy around the upcoming election, and political unrest in many parts of the world.

Are you a Zero Balancing student or practitioner who is looking to deepen your Zero Balancing skills? I will be hosting a 4-day Zero Balancing II class in South Bend, Indiana from November 20th to the 23rd. This is a great place to refresh your skills and learn some new fulcrums.

Registration is now open here: https://linktr.ee/dwaggy

In this class, we return to the Middle C standard of the basic Zero Balancing Core Protocol with hands-on practice while refining your touch skills. The new fulcrums will complete the full Zero Balancing Core Protocol and help you understand why Zero Balancing is so effective.

If it's been a while since you took this class, this is a perfect way to get back into practice with the most up-to-date ways to do each fulcrum. Ask your other Zero Balancing buddies to join you in re-taking this class for half price.

One student recently reported they thought that all we would do in Zero Balancing II was add a few more new fulcrums. "It was that, and so much more! I really appreciated the way we refined our touch skills. I want to keep going with more classes."

I remember taking my first Zero Balancing II class. The next time I worked with another Zero Balancer, she mentioned my touch skills had increased exponentially. That's because we already know the Zero Balancing Protocol after our first class, so we can spend more time taking a deep dive into refining our touch and competency with the fulcrums.

Even though Zero Balancing is a "wellness protocol", it has numerous benefits.

Join us for Zero Balancing II here: https://linktr.ee/dwaggy

I will schedule another Zero Balancing I class early in 2025. Watch for our emails for more class listings. I would love to have you join me for classes.

💻I just finished teaching the Five Elements during the Insight Acupressure (formerly Soul Lightening) Clinical Acupressure 2: Meridians class this weekend with a lovely group of virtual and in-person students. We explored Fire🔥 Earth🌎 Metal🪙 Water💦 Wood🌳

👩‍🏫I look forward to teaching Process Acupressure 1A next weekend. 🗣 I love the way Aminah Raheem's acupressure work complements her husband's Zero Balancing mind-body therapy. I will be teaching Fritz Smith's Zero Balancing 2 class in November.

👉Do you know holistic practitioners who are interested in learning either Insight Acupressure or Zero Balancing in 2025 in the South Bend, IN area? Have them check out my Linktr.ee/DWaggy page for future classes I'm teaching. 💖✨🙏

Interested in a 4-day Clinical Acupressure 1 class, learning 36 key acupressure points and the Insight Acupressure Basic Protocol? I'm teaching a hybrid class Sept 7, 8, 14, & 15 with a group of practitioners in South Bend, IN and the Cleveland, OH area. Check out my Linktr.ee/DWaggy site.

What is a hybrid class? Participants have the option for online learning in the morning and meet with myself or a Skilled Touch Practitioner in the afternoons for the hands-on portion of the class.

One of the practices I learned from Dr Fritz Smith and Aminah Raheem, PhD was the use of parallel breaths to create a clearer, stronger, more organized field of energy though my whole being.

Here's an interview on the Lifability Podcast with Sharadha Haria in May 2024, exploring my OT journey with Zero Balancing and Insight Acupressure.

Our beloved founder of Zero Balancing Health Association, Dr. Fritz Frederick Smith, passed away on May 7th, just 4 days shy of his 95th birthday. Most of us feel the loss of this dear teacher and mentor at the end of 50 years of his presence teaching this mind-body therapy. And yet we also feel deep gratitude for his teachings and the gift of Zero Balancing to the world.

I was fortunate to have two conversations with Fritz this month when I was in Madison, WI. He was able to join us via Zoom for the ZB I & ZB II classes. He loved to share his words of inspiration with the students and considered the Zoom calls a highlight of his routines since the pandemic. He always had something encouraging to say to each individual student he met on Zoom.

One of the main themes was to practice the pure form of Zero Balancing instead of trying to mix it in with other modalities. He wanted the students to learn to trust the protocol and keep the “middle C” standard that is known around the world. He knew the power of the pure form of his work.

In March of this year, Loren and I talked with Fritz together during a ZB II class. Fritz and his late wife Aminah were an inspiration to both Loren and myself, as a couple who did both Zero Balancing and Insight Acupressure (formerly Soul Lightening International). While it’s hard to have a foot in two different organizations, I am so blessed to be the only active faculty currently teaching both of their modalities. You can find my current class listings on Linktr.ee/DWaggy for my most recent classes.

My parting words to Fritz 2 weeks ago was to wish him a Happy 95th Birthday, since I was not planning to attend the big celebration with Faculty on his birthday weekend. He told me the best gift he could have was for me to keep teaching ZB classes with the various communities where I’ve been teaching. So with deep joy and a tinge of sadness, I’m teaching ZB I next week in my home for a small group of local students. Both Fritz and Aminah will be with us in the pyramid.
