Event Update

I am teaching in 2026 at The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School in Austin, the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork in the UK, and the Downeast School of Massage in Maine. The main literary event is the continued interest in the book published by Singing Dragon/Handspring Publishing last year, co-authored with Dr. Jeff Rockwell - “The Memory Palace of Bones: exploring embodiment through the skeletal system.”

Deep Massage for the Iliopsoas and its Neighbors

March 6-7, Friday-Saturday

Lauterstein-Conway Massage School

Deep Massage for the Iliopsoas focuses on the function and structure of the iliopsoas muscle and its supporting neighbors. The iliopsoas is surrounded and supported by the lower back muscles, the abdominal muscles, and the thoracic diaphragm. Therefore we will focus on contacting all these muscles along with a variety of ways to contact the psoas and the iliacus. “Deep Massage: The Lauterstein Method” integrates insights from the traditions of cranio-sacral work, Rolfing, and Zero Balancing,

Zero Balancing I and Zero Balancing II - July 17-19 and 24-26

The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School, TX

ZB I and II give you the entire Core ZB Protocol so with this course, you can offer your clients full Zero Balancing sessions. Why learn Zero Balancing? We are musculoskeletal beings, yet most therapists focus only on the soft tissue side of that equation. That addresses only half of that system! Zero Balancing (ZB) adds an extremely helpful focus the deeper tensions in the body - through the key joints, the bones, and the energy flowing through them, as well as on the soft tissues associated with them. Zero Balancing is the missing piece in the world of bodywork and bodymind therapies!

Participants can register for the first course, for both, or just ZB II if you’ve already taken ZB I.

Deep Massage: the Lauterstein Method - October 5-7

Geometry of Healing - October 9-11

 
 

Downeast School of Massage, Waldoboro, Maine

The first class will focus on Deep Massage: The Lauterstein Method. In this class you will learn all the theory and techniques from “The Deep Massage Book: How to Combine Structure and Energy in Bodywork.” The Lauterstein Method gives you a way to work with less effort and heightened therapeutic impact. We will cultivate a higher quality of touch using methods that are derived from David’s teaching since 1982 and his embodiment as well of the principles underlying Zero Balancing as applied to soft tissue work. David studied with the founder of Zero Balancing Dr. Fritz Smith, for over 35 years.

Geometry of Healing is the second class listed. It is an Advanced Zero Balancing class which requires. as minimal prerequisite. ZB I and II.

“In Geometry of Healing, students learn how to work directly with fields of energy through the idiom of touch. This study of ZB relates to quantum physics and the newer sciences. In Geometry of Healing, students learn how to navigate the unseen world of vibration through their own shifting states of perception and self-referenced body signals. We know that healing is a multidimensional phenomenon. From one perspective, it involves the health and integration of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit of a person. From another, it involves the integration of one’s seen and unseen worlds. Geometry of Healing provides information and teaches skills to meet both perspectives.” - Dr. Fritz Smith
