Testimonials
Dorthea Dorenz
“Meir taught me how to heal myself, whereas other methods only gave me temporary fixes that did not last. He taught me to listen deeply to my body and respond with gentle movement, and gave me tools to get well. It took me 1½ years to heal my C5S1 bulging disc. I went from unable to walk at all to hiking the Himalayas. Now I teach what I learned to others at Kaiser Oakland in Adult Education and Behavioral Health classes on how to Build a Healthy Back.”

“I have muscular dystrophy and have been following Meir Schneider’s program religiously. As a result, I no longer fall easily, my breathing has improved, my posture is much more upright, and I walk more steadily and quickly. My neurologist has been so impressed. For a person with MD, this is a miracle.”

Rachel Riley Cox
“After being diabetic for 20 years, and being diagnosed as legally blind from its complications, I was left to either live as a blind person or seek another way. I chose to work with Meir Schneider intensively, to immerse myself in his teachings. What I learned in the training is personal, indescribable and life affirming. I use the knowledge I gained in Meir’s training every day of my life. I now have an unrestricted driver’s license.”

“I have muscular dystrophy. I came to San Francisco to study with Meir Schneider at a point when my body was really deteriorating.
The only thing physicians could tell me was that I was looking at a downward spiral, and nothing could be done.
But I improved, and the tools I’ve learned make it possible to manage my health.
When I work intensively on myself, I gain real increases in muscle strength.
I have much better mobility and function than I could ever have had without this method.”

“My daughter Diana has cerebral palsy. Despite three major surgeries, her right leg was continuing to atrophy. After working with Meir and the students at the School, Diana says ‘This has changed my life. I am now able for the first time to balance, stand on my right leg, walk safely without my cane, run and crawl!”

“Both the massage therapy and exercises given to me by Meir Schneider have helped my respiratory problem, cystic fibrosis. My breathing has deepened, my posture has improved, and the muscles of my shoulders and upper back are a lot stronger.”

Maggie Lyons
“As a biochemist I suffered regularly with repetitive strain injuries, backache, colds, allergies, headaches and eye strain. I seemed to be always below par and lacking in energy. As a Self-Healing Practitioner/Educator I seem to have boundless energy and remain virtually symptom free. Learning Self-Healing has transformed my life - both personally and professionally. It is a method whose time has come -certainly for me!”
