UPCOMING ZERO BALANCING CLASSES

IN BURLINGTON, VERMONT

Introduction to Zero Balancing

Thursday September 21, 2017 6:30-8:30 pm

Zero Balancing (ZB) is a leading edge body-mind therapy. This
introductory class describes and demonstrates how ZB facilitates an
expanded state of consciousness while releasing subconscious tensions
patterns in body, mind, and spirit. A great addition to any
healthcare/bodywork practice and accessible to the general public
interested in energy work and wellness.

Zero Balancing I

September 21-24, 2017

A 25 hour professional bodymind therapy training for health professionals with Michele Doucette DC

Zero Balancing is a leading-edge, hands-on, body-mind therapy. It combines the Western view of medicine and science from the field of osteopathy with Eastern concepts of energy and healing from the field of acupuncture. ZB affects the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) by providing both structural therapy and energy medicine simultaneously. It promotes a deeply meditative state in which sub-optimal tension patterns are easily released. Like adjusting the tension on a guitar string, ZB leaves a person more in tune with their essential being, more resonant with their true self…more relaxed, comfortable, resilient, awake, self-aware, grounded, and expanded.

ZB I is approved for 25 hrs. Continuing Education credit (through VT Board of Chiropractic, NCBTMB, NCCAOM, and several other accrediting agencies.  Accepted for VT/NH PT/OT credits)

The instructor:  Michele Doucette DC, practicing/teaching ZB for over 20 years in Wilmington, VT.  To register contact Dr. Doucette at 802-464-2361  bones@sover.net  www.zerobalancing.com   Course Fee:  $795, $695 if pd 1 mo. advance, $595 2 mo. advance.

Hosted by Kelly Kaeding MS LAc at the Vermont Center for Acupuncture & Wellness

The Questionable Link Between Saturated Fat and Heart Disease

By Kelly Kaeding | Published: March 25, 2016

Are butter, cheese and steak really bad for you? The dubious science behind the anti-fat crusadeimage001

This Wall Street Journal Article does a good job explaining why we ought to be eating what our grandparents or great-grandparents were putting on the table, i.e. eat butter, whole milk dairy, all kinds of meat, olive oil and other yumminess – not the vegetable seed oils, tons of grains and low-fat, high-sugar junk. Please read and psst, pass it on.

Simple Steamed Broccoli

By Kelly Kaeding | Published: February 12, 2015

IMG_6796

I made this all the time. It is so quick, yummy, and healthy. This and the Sautéed Garlicky Kale are by far the most common veggie dishes served at my house, followed closely by my Cabbage Slaw.

  • Broccoli crown
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt

Set up steamer basket over water and turn on stove to medium.

Wash and cut 1 broccoli crown into big bite-sized pieces. You can peel the stem and slice it up thinly. Put on steamer basket and cover with a lid. Let boil (you can turn it down to medium-low when it gets to a rolling boil) for about 5 minutes or until the middle is getting soft when you poke it with a sharp knife. This is the key point – make it soft enough that you are not eating mostly raw broccoli, but do not steam it to broccoli mush.

Dump it all onto a plate and drizzle with some nice olive oil (I love Saratoga Olive Oil Company on Church Street in Burlington – their Myer Lemon Olive Oil is to die for) and sprinkle with sea salt. Maybe your friends will ask you why your broccoli is so darn good, too.

 

PS Sometimes I get it all set up without turning the stove on before I start on other dishes and then turn it on about 10 minutes before I want to serve dinner.

Sauteed Garlicky Kale

By Kelly Kaeding | Published: February 9, 2015

IMG_6690I love using lacinato kale – the dark green dinosaur kale. Kale is my favorite vegetable, and this is my most used recipe of all times.

Heat olive oil in frying pan (medium-high) and add garlic and then the kale. Sprinkle sea salt on the kale and saute until tender, stirring frequently (about 5 minutes). Sometimes I like to add a splash of water and then put a lid on it so it will steam a bit (1-2 minutes). If there is still some water in the pan, I remove the lid for the last minute. This recipe takes no time to make. I usually make it last, while everything else is getting put on the table.

This dish goes great with Brussels sprouts, roasted chicken, sweet potato sticks, or root vegetable gratin.

To make Vietnamese Style Sauteed Kale, omit salt and add a splash of fish sauce. Also toss in some chilies with the garlic. Then add sea salt to taste. YUM!
