| 2008-09-18 | Diane | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Lynda, Thank you so much! I'd love for you to send me some referrals if it isn't too much trouble. I'm writing a reference book for Chicago-area fitness enthusiasts, so referrals in Chicago would be great. Is it okay if I use you as an expert Pilates source? I would, of course, site you as such in the book and send you a copy when it is printed. Please let me know if this would be okay. Thanks again!

| 2008-09-11 | Anabella | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wow! thanks so much for the fast and concret answer. I really appreciate it. Very professional. Thanks a lot! |
| 2008-08-19 | Linda | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you, LYNDA. You are wonderful to help me like this! Sandi |
| 2008-03-30 | Ann | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Lynda, Thank you once again. Your direction helps. I did not get the info on PT. Ann |
| 2008-03-16 | Ann | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dear Lynda, I apreciate your honest answer and know that it is in my own best interest. I have contacted the pilates studio that you mentioned and am hoping that with additional work with them I can still continue with my current trainer. After experiencing their technique I guess I will be able to compare what I am doing. At least over the phone it is clear that they are more knowledgeable on PFmuscles. Thank you for recomending Pelvic Power. Although you have really helped me understand the issues much better, this book seems like it will give me more comprehensive knowledge. Finally, thanks for the jeanhailes website url. It's great! I will share with my sister, who although has had no biological children, has begun to experience some incontinence issues, and she is and has been an ideal weight all her life. I am 45 pounds lower than my heighest weight, however the weight loss is excructiatingly slow. JoAnn tries to coach me a bit on this as well; the problem has been since I was a young child and conquering it is not simple. Exercise helps. Whould you like me to give you feedback in a few months ..... |
| 2008-03-14 | Ann | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Lynda once again answered my multiple questions comprehensively and with sensitivity. Her answers reflected my specific situation and were not generic. Thank you! Ann |
| 2008-03-12 | Christina | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thanks |
