I use RFST to upgrade all aspects of myself while providing the same service for others. I love helping others be everything they wish to be whether it’s a better athlete, artist, performer, or person. I enjoy working with people who desire a life free of pain, tension, and stress. I also enjoy the challenge of teaching others who may not at first be very open to or interested in creating and maintaining positive health.
I envision living in a world where people serve as positive checks and balances for each other. A world where every time people encounter each other, they create upgrades in each other's physical, spiritual, emotional, and psychological health. I want us all to help each other feel good, because if you ask me, it's all about feeling good!
I have found MFS and RFST to be one of the most powerful positive gifts that I can share with others. I want stretching to be a practice that releases people's barriers allowing us all to come together as one and be free with each other!
Luther's Story
I found out about the Meridian Flexibility System through a seemingly random conversation with a stranger in the Phoenix, Arizona airport. At the time, I was not interested in fitness, sports, or alternative medicine, nor had I ever been. The only steps I had taken to live a healthy lifestyle was by improving my diet, which I was forced into due to the ulcer I developed two years prior at 17 years of age.
