"I want to let you know how much I appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule to be on the VoiceAmerica Pain Tamers: Time to Control Your Pain Internet radio show yesterday (09/08/2005).  It was an incredibly successful show and you are the reason why.  You show tremendous knowledge about the Feldenkrais Method and talked with the callers, not at them.  That is a big difference on radio and people can really tell.  I have looked at my statistics for the show and they are quite high so I know for a fact the listenership was "up there." . . .Again, thank you so much for your strong representation, compassion, empathy, and outstanding knowledge that you shared with millions of people world-wide yesterday.  It's wonderful to know that there are many, many people much better today because of what you did yesterday."  Helen Dearman, Founder and President, National Chronic Pain Society, host of Pain Tamers:  Time to Control Your Pain on www.health.voiceamerica.com

"This was my first encounter with a Feldenkrais teacher and it was marvelous!  MaryBeth had all 100+ students performing at a higher level on some of the movements we thought would be impossible to develop further....I credit her work. . .as an intrinsic part of our success.  Our band went on to win the coveted title of Illinois State Marching Champion in Class 5A [2003]. . .There is no doubt the application of Feldenkrais methods through the gifted leadership of Ms. Smith made a difference in the showmanship and ease of our student performers."  --John Apple, Marching Band Director, Wheaton Warrenville South High School, Wheaton, Illinois (Chicago suburbs).

"After my first lesson, I had the best night's sleep in a long time.  I'm amazed at how such a gentle, non-intrusive touch can accomplish so much!. . .This work improves my outlook." -- M.W., Houston, living with MS

"She helped me tremendously. . . I am singing with more freedom than I have known in years; maybe ever.  I am very grateful to her." -- Melba McCollum, Houston ISD classroom music teacher.

"Some of the movements seemed more difficult than I imagined because they were small movements and gentle but they seemed to be using muscles I don't use even in my exercise program.  But I was amazed at how I felt when I walked across the room to get my purse, and even today I have noticed that I move differently.  My body was definitely moving in a very different and very pleasant way." -- Patricia Daugherty, Jung Center class member.

"I most enjoyed the quiet gentleness of the movements.  Very relaxing, centering.  I've become more aware of how movement works--what leads to what."  -- O.P. age 72, Houston ATM class participant

"It was a new experience, knowing [that] small movement is just as beneficial as a large/bigger movement."--T.G., age 41, mom-to-be, Houston ATM class participant

"I really enjoyed the relaxation achieved through micro-movements.  All of my daily activities are easier now."  --H.N., age 34, Yoga/Pilates instructor
