INNER BALANCE emmerged unconsciously in the minds and hearts of two women who lived 2,000 miles apart in California and Illinois, over the course of a couple of decades. Ellen Katz and Linda Kroll, strangers to each other until they met 2004, were living on distant but parallel paths. Both of them, practicing psychotherapists for many years, who were deeply committed to spiritual, emotional, and conscious awakening.
Linda dreamed of a network of heart-centered support groups that would give people an emotionally safe gathering of souls -- a space where deep listening and sharing could take place. She wanted everyone to have the opportunity to learn to honor their own reality, trust and respect their feelings, learn meditation practices and communicate from the heart.

Ellen envisioned a soothing, sensory-pleasing and energetically balanced space for healing, where therapy and workshops, acupuncture, yoga, meditation, energy work and other modalities for personal and spiritual growth could be offered.
Ellen and Linda recognized that for effective healing of the soul to happen, people needed more than weekly talk therapy. They wanted to expose people to the rich variety of nurturing avenues that exist. They both imagined a place where, on occasion, guest instructors, facilitators and healers would offer their guidance at no charge -- as offerings to the wellbeing of the community.
INNER BALANCE opened its doors in Northbrook, Illinois on October 1, 2008. It holds the space for caring practitioners -- psychotherapists, hypno-therapists, energy workers, body workers, meditation and yoga teachers, musicians, art therapists and others to bring their gifts to the community. INNER BALANCE is an oasis of peace, a place where all parts of ourselves can find solace and validation, and where loving-kindness, wisdom and healing energy flows throughout its rooms.
INNER BALANCE is housed currently in Northbrook and Deerfield, Illinois, but is developing a presence in Chicago, Los Angeles and Palm Springs, CA.
At INNER BALANCE, we seek emotional sobriety. Through education, healing and practice, INNER BALANCE provides a path for moving from chaos to consciousness. We are grateful to be able to share this with you!
