Dear Trudy,

I just wanted to say, thank you very much, for the life changing information I received in your class.

It was an informative and awakening experience for me. Your method of teaching was fun and relaxing. I looked forward to your class every week and from my conversations with my class mates, I assure you I speak for everyone who took the class with me.

We left your class with a whole new awareness of the oneness of mind, body and soul. And a clear understanding and feeling of confidence that.... we have a choice..... to choose to keep the natural eyesight God gave us!

As I Sketch, Breathe and Blink my way through life, I will always feel very lucky that I met you and made the decision to take your class. I will wholeheartedly recommend your class to anyone who dares to keep their natural eyesight for the rest of their life.

Sincerely,

Trudy is an excellent teacher: she herself is an inspiring example of the success of the Bates Method; She has a broad and deep knowledge of the subject; She has ample experience; She is dedicated, compassionate, patient and perceptive.  I had severe near-sightedness and astigmatism.  Although I have not yet regained sustained clarity, my eyesight has  improved more than I dreamed possible. This has immeasurably benefited all aspects of my life.  I am completely confident that through the practice of this method, my
eyes will heal.  I wholeheartedly recommend this course.

I've just completed a review class (review classes are free) with Trudy six months after I took the course and once again, I'm impressed. Trudy is a warm and delightful teacher.

What prompted me to take the course was a recent problem that developed such that I had trouble shifting my focal point from near to far and vice versa. (I spend long hours in front of a computer on a daily
basis.)  While taking the course that problem completely disappeared.  I've achieved a few mini - break throughs while attending Trudy's  classes. I now have first hand experience that these principles actually
work.

I was getting really tired of all the reading glasses throughout my house. They were everywhere, strategically placed: one by the phonebook, one by the computer, another one by my reading spot on the couch, one on the nightstand, and oh yes, one in the car.

One day I saw Trudy's ad in the paper about the Eyesight Institute Vision classes and was intrigued. After going to her Introduction, I was hooked. In those 2 hours Trudy talked about her method (Dr Bates called it "Nature's Method") of teaching people to see naturally again and did some of the correct breathing, blinking and sketching movements with us. I tried this right away at home, but felt I needed more in depth instruction. So, I enrolled in her class, and it was all I had hoped for. Trudy is a marvellous teacher. Her sense of humor, her soft voice (never shrill or loud) her patience and understanding of her students made the class a joy to attend. I learned how important movement is (a challenge for me since I had polio and am restricted in that department), and the breathing and blinking. Those three things including centralization are the key to better vision and really worked for me. First with larger print, then with normal books, after that with newspapers, next with the computer (I had problems with that one), and finally last week (Trudy ring your bell!) I could see the small print of the phonebook. All my reading glasses are in a drawer now, and I hope they will stay there.

Trudy's class was a real joy and literally an eye opener. I wish you well, Trudy, and hope to be visiting you soon in your own place.

  

Thank you so much for providing the opportunity to relearn to see through your classes in better eyesight. 

On my recent 5 week 5000 mile driving holiday, I was able to strengthen my eyes by not wearing glasses. And amazingly, was able to stay alert for 12 hours of driving at a time without tiring, practising the 3 principles as I went. Even night driving was greatly improved and I've only been at this since May. Working at the computer now with reduced magnification is such a boon. Needless to say, my life is greatly enhanced by the natural freedom of clear vision.

Thanks again for a great course.

Warmly Elaine

On my driving trip to Southern California, I felt so free in not wearing my glasses. The only times I put them on was to read a menu or a paper. Glasses to me, have been a way to hide for it puts a barrier between you and whoever you are with. That's why, perhaps, I feel the freedom without them. My "coming out" party. 

Thank you Trudy
