This brochure will familiarize you with Balanced Health & Fitness - our background, goals, objectives, and services.
Balanced Health & Fitness, Inc. - The Company
Balanced Health & Fitness, Inc. was founded in 1999. Its founder, Barry E. Myers, believes that an individual's journey through life is an act of balance, balance between:
* career
* spirituality
* personal growth
* health/fitness and
* relationships (love interests, family and/or friends)
One way of looking at this philosophy is by comparing life to a pie, with each slice occupied by the items above. Each of us defines balance by "slicing" the pie differently. The "pie" is ever-evolving, changing as we change, growing as we grow. As our personal goals change, so does the pie. The largest slice last year may be the smallest this year. However, as we go through life, we continually strive to seek the balance that works for ourself. Most of us, unfortunately, live in a state of unbalance. For example, if one works too much, his/her health may decline, relationships may be strained, etc. If we are at a loss spiritually, perhaps our personal growth slows.
This constant striving for balance is ever-lasting, inherent in all of us. Perhaps we reach the balance, perhaps we don't. But each of us CAN!!
"Solutions for Life's Balancing Act" - Our Motto
Balanced Health & Fitness is dedicated to helping people find "Solutions for Life's Balancing Act". Whether it's a massage, fitness plan, facial or one of several natural products, each is provided with the goal of helping you enrich your life and get one step closer to balance. Finding what works for you is a wonderful feeling and Balanced Health & Fitness wants to be your partner.

Tim A. Fosberg - LMT
Tim received his first massage from his grandfather when he was 4 years old. His grandfather was practicing Shiatsu, but all that Tim felt at the time was "a lot of thumbs". That massage, however, was the beginning of a lifetime of compassionate touch. The joy of breaking the stress cycle for a client sums up why he is so passionate about massage therapy. Compassion is the most important principle in his life.
Tim has spent much of his life involved with martial arts. Massage has been crucial to that aspect of his life, as healing is an integral part of martial arts training and practice. He also enjoys physical training and staying fit.
Tim comes to Balaced Health & Fitness as our Deep Tissue Specialist, a modality he has a passion for.

Tammy J. Barton - LMT and Energy Practitioner
Tammy was born and raised in the Midwest, graduated from Brookfield High School and then William Jewel College. Tammy believes the "issues are in the tissues" and without addressing the issues, physically, mentally, and emotionally, your body has a harder time living in full balance and harmony. Massage and energy work are ways of addressing the issues and restoring the body's natural balance. "I love connecting with people, and helping bring peace and comfort to their live." While delivering mail is Tammy's full-time job, doing massage and energy work are ways she brings balance and harmony to her own life.
