Comments from Freedom to Fly Workshop member:I am in beautiful San Francisco on a belated honeymoon. Last
week I was in San Diego participating in my dearest friend’s
wedding. You have made these two events possible for me. I
can’t thank you enough. You are my angels.
Alisa
We did it! Even the flight crew had to sit down the entire
way. But the best thing I learned—we were all OK. Thanks for
the help and the tools to teach me to be comfortable flying.
You have opened a whole new world for us.
Janet
From the moment we first spoke on the phone when I called to
make an initial appointment, you made me feel comfortable. Your
gentle and genuine demeanor set the tone and encouraged me to
sign up for the Freedom to Fly course. You are an inspiration.
Thank you for touching my life and helping me to grow.
Jessica
Who would have thought that three years ago I would have been
island hopping in Hawaii. A dream came true! Thank you.
Joelin
I feel as if I am in paradise. Perfect weather and beautiful
views. It took 20 years to return to Hawaii. I handled the
flight well and look forward to the return flight. Thank you
making this possible. Aloha.
Laurie
Reaching a teen who is grappling with his fears, and then earning
his trust and respect, are big accomplishments. The trust factor
was clearly evident from the connections he made with your staff
and the other workshop participants. This resulted in our son
feeling genuinely excited about gong out to Westchester County
Airport each week for the class. All in all, we believe our
son is now equipped with coping mechanisms he needs to make flying,
and other fear-inducing situations, far more manageable.

I wanted to let you know how my life has changed since I took
the flying class. I just go back from the Bahamas. I am planning
on booking another trip soon. Thank you for all that the amazing
course gave me.

Comments from Workshop members:
My greatest achievement was when I was able to return to the
area where my trauma first occurred.
Angela, overcoming her bird
phobia
Just letting you know that the Public Speaking Group has already
improved the quality of my life.
John
I had sought treatment for my claustrophobia through different
therapists and organizations. It was this course through the
Anxiety and Phobia Center that really dealt with the phobia and
made it manageable for me.
Dorothy
I think the workshop covers everything—mentally, physically
and “hands on” with the counselors. I would recommend it to
everyone. It saved me!
Ed
The public speaking group is beneficial because I now know there
are others with this problem. To know others have been where
I am and have succeeded is empowering. The group teaches, in
manageable steps, to overcome something I thought I would have
to live with the rest of my life.
