“With regards to yoga therapeutics, I have to admit that I had my doubts. The only vision I had doing yoga was trying to get into some weird positions that was never going to happen for me. But, right after your first session, I saw the light. The movements you did with us were exactly what I needed. You listened to us and respected our limitations because of age, and many years of sports participation, and several surgeries. Those therapeutic movements gave me more flexibility and the realization that if I kept up with the movements, I could extend my years of playing certain sports. Thanks for your help and we’ll see you in January” - Dennis F.

“Fred your tutelage was very thorough, very professional and very enjoyable. You tailored it to our needs, limitations, and our capabilities and we both found it so very helpful. We both know that we’re very tightly strung and your exercises are very helpful!!” Marguerite F

Working with Meryl has given me the gift of enthusiasm for my life once again. I feel more lighthearted and cheerful.  I believe working with Meryl every week has made me resilient.” -Anonymous, Naples, FL 

“I met Freddie at Warrior Camp, the last stop I had to make before I ended my life.  I had tried every single therapy and every single one failed.  What Freddie and the other staff did not know is I had a gun and a bottle of whiskey at home and when this place failed I would end this once and for all.  

But what was to come is beyond words.  My healing at Warrior camp began.  Now it was time for Freddie.  We started to meditate, started to clear the mind of all the trauma I had seen.  We began with simple movements; something was happening! 

It felt as though my body, mind, and soul were aligning again.  My want to die was being extinguished and my purpose was being formed, the pain was fading.  This allowed me to go down from 25 pills a day to 2 in less than 10 days! Not even a detox facility could do this.  I truly believe that Yoga saved my life, Freddie saved my life.

Today I am the Chairman of The Bedford Veterans Committee, that passion was born for a reason, to save lives! And that’s because of Freddie!”

Timothy FitzGerald, Chairman Bedford Veterans Committee

Meryl is calming, gentle, empathetic, and innovative.  I love that she can laugh with us and not at us and that she quickly adapts, when I can’t quite do a pose yet, to help me find a way without making me feel embarrassed.  

I am definitely breathing deeply more often and am more attentive to that as a stress reliever.  I love our time with her!

 It is clear that Meryl has a great intuitive understanding of where the body is holding onto tension and needs a deeper release.  I've been battling lower back issues for the past 2 years and an hour with her made a difference for the whole next week.  My session with Meryl dissipated a lot of stress and left me more in tune with my body and breath.

I already feel a difference getting up off the floor!  I absolutely love the time we spend together and am looking forward to continuing.  I now know what a real yoga session should be like. Thank You!

 I recommend Meryl to anyone who needs individual attention and someone who says they “aren’t into yoga”.  She is calming and engaged. She pays attention and always works around people’s issues while at the same time getting them to work those issues through.  My balance is becoming better again and I have a stronger awareness of my posture.
