Fritz Frederick Smith, MD    

"Some of the best treatments are just affirmations of what is."

     Dr Smith is the son of a Chiropractor who grew up with touch as a loving part of his normal every day experience. As an adult he studied medicine, and practiced as an osteopathic physician.  He later studied with Ida Rolf and J.R.Worsley. He has a strong connection to the divine through meditation practice, art and self-exploration. 

     It was during Dr Smith's study of acupuncture that the system known today as Zero Balancing surfaced. That was in the 1970s.  Now, nearly 40 years later, ZB is known and loved by thousands around the world seeking greater balance in their lives. ZB is the result of Dr Smith's seeking to combine his knowledge and understanding of the body from the influences of Western and Eastern medicine.

     Now in his 80s, Dr Smith continues to teach and conduct retreats in the U.S. and Mexico.  His legacy lives on in the Zero Balancing Health Association.
