Your work continues to amaze me. I feel great and whole since these past two sessions with you. My mind keeps asking "am I really pain free?" it has been four months since the car accident and finally some permanent relief! Now I must put together a routine to maintain this great state of being.

Dear Walter
I would like to take a few minutes to look back on the 20 years that I known you. To start, words cannot describe what you have done for me professionally, health wise (mind & body) and with my professional career. I first came to you in 1987 I had some health issues. You were concerned about my recovery and treatment plan as if it were your problem or perhaps a dear family member's problem. You never turned me down for a treatment when I was hurting for any type of injury. You were always able to help me with some relief from whatever pain I was in. Your professionalism in your practice was far the best form any practitioner I have ever worked with.
One of the saddest days in my life is when you moved to Ridgefield Much to my surprise a negative became a positive. I was able to team up with you on a business level. As associates in the distribution on Dr Mindell's products, I began to open up a whole new world for myself. Helping people through nutrition and being business partners with you helped bring out the genius in me.
You're a class act; I am truly blessed to know you.
Thank You

Having lived many years in California where I experienced treatments as varied as Jin Shin, acupuncture, and hands-on healing, I feel singularly qualified to comment on Walter Zernis' bodywork. Walter combines practical knowledge with an intuitive understanding of the body and what it needs in a treatment that is always satisfying and not just beneficial, but healing. In the time I have known him, he has recommended the Goji Juice I now credit in minimizing menopausal sypmtoms, and has set me on a path of weekly facial sculpting I couldn't do without. I seriously don't know how Walter does it, I can only say how happy I am to be the beneficiary of his skill, knowledge, and technique.

I started treatments with Walter Zernis about 3 months before my daughter's wedding. After a very stressful period taking care of my ninety-year old mother, I felt rundown, my skin felt dry and listless. I inquired about Walter's facial sculpting massages. We agreed on a program of anti-stress neck and back massage combined with facial sculpting. I noticed the results after the first treatment. Not only was the tension in my neck and back relieved, I could see the difference in tone, firmness and youthfulness in my face. After several more weeks, I was ready! My daughter had asked me to be her matron of honor. I had dreaded walking down the isle with her twenty-year old bridesmaids. This 60-year old Mom looked terrific. My skin was glowing and youthful, my posture was better than those younger than me and my self-confidence and energy was the best I have felt in my life. Walter is a professional who delivered all that I wanted and more than I expected. His studio is realaxing and reflects his spirit and commitment to good health.

Prior to my wedding I received a facial and massage, using Marie Veronique's products. It was great and really made a difference in my day.

Walter Zernis is a very gifted therapist. Working with him, I felt complete trust in his expert care, and experienced a very thorough massage and facial sculpting session. When he was finished, my skin glowed from the Marie Veronique's organic products he used (like food for the skin...) and my eyes looked 10 years younger! Even friends and colleagues commented on how I looked afterwards. I'm looking forward to including Walt's facial sculpting into my regular self care routine.

I had a recent massage with Walt where I asked him to release tension I've had in my adductors for the last ten years from a major car accident and two broken femurs. I never really had this area worked, even though I've received many massages and other types of healing sessions over the years. With great precision, Walt released ten years worth of tension from these muscles which affected my walking and doing yoga, not to mention other types of exercise. It is amazing! I am so grateful that Walt is so knowledgeable, caring and precise in his work. Knowing exactly which technique to use to address each health issue.

Goji juice
Walter introduced me to Goji juice last summer and after the first week I was totally hooked. I have been drinking it faithfully ever since, and I must say it has made such a huge difference in my daily performance and stamina I don't think I could do without it now. We all lead such busy lives these days it's hard to keep up with it all, and that's where the Goji juice comes in. I find that when I take a few moments out of my hectic schedule to have a Goji juice break I'm still going strong hours later. I love that feeling of wow, I've been working non-stop for eight hours but I don't feel tired.
Facial sculpting
A natural facelfit for men and women with no waiting!
There are all sorts of treatments on offer to help us baby boomers look as young as we're feeling (and if we're drinking Goji juice we are feeling pretty spry!) But when it comes to the face a little more attention is required. Walter's massage for the face is unique because unlike acupressure (which everyone is doing now) his touch gets right down to the musculature where it really counts. This massage , like the right kind of exercise, shortens muscles, which in turn reduces sagging and gives your face a natural lift. If you've had a facelift this massage will help you maintain it, if you want to avoid plastic surgery then this technique is a must. Even better, there's no down time. You'll see the fantastic results of this wonderfully effective innovation in facial rejuvenation immediately. It doesn't get better than that.

Walter's massage:
I have been receiving consistent bodywork for the last 10 years. I moved to Ridgefield, CT last summer and thanks to my welcome visit from Dee, I met Walter. Walter is one of the best massage therapists that has ever worked on me...my neck actually can move from side to side without hurting anymore!
My busy life of work, family, exercising, and play all feel better because of Walter.

I want to begin by thanking you Walter for introducing to me to the Goji. It has created a significant difference in my life and outlook at the beauty and power of nature. To have such a great powerful product with no side effects is truly God sent. Before I started taking the Goji juice I had low endurance, suffered from headaches and poor eating habits. Then I was told about the Goji berry and how it improved ones physical as well as emotional health and thought why not, it is all natural. After my first bottle of Goji I started to feel the difference in my mood, energy level, digestion and overall health. The Goji juice continues to be a part of my everyday life and I understand how important it is to share this gift with others so that they may also enjoy the benefits of the Goji. God Bless.

Titillated by an advertisement for a non-surgical face lift, I phoned Walter Zernis for an exploratory appointmnt. A year later, with wonderfully rejuvenating full body massages added to the mix some time ago, I'm sleeping better, have more energy and am far more relaxed. Not surprisingly, I look better too. Lines are softened, skin texture is better and under eye dark circles are gone. To support and enhance the massage treatments, Walter also introduced me to the food supplement, Goji Juice, touted as one of the world's most complele anti-oxidents. As a result of these innovations in my life style, I feel stronger and healthier and pleased to be taking positive actions to promote my health and well being.

As a husband-wife team owning our own home business, I love the fact that Miriam and Walter have come together the same way to offer services that so complement each others skills Miriam's Yoga instruction and Walter's massage therapy, including facial sculpting.

Walter and Miriam Zernis are a dedicated inspiring couple who both see spiritual vision in health and well being and share it with all who can hear it.

Be it nutritional knowledge, massage therapy, Yoga therapy or vibrational chanting and other modalities, I assure it's the highest quality of leaner-ed information you will receive.

I wanted to take the time and comment on how wonderful I feel since taking goji juice. I am a chiropractor that works 12-14 hours straight without breaks and yet I feel as if I had not worked at all. My energy is tremendous and my body is without any muscle fatigue or discomfort. My thanks goes to Walter Zernis and Steve Garron for introducing me to this product. As a certified clinical nutritionist, I am always experimenting with new supplements to verify their claims and testimonials. FreeLife's Goji is justified in promoting their product as a total health drink.

My husband and I have been on a life-long search for true "Good Health and Well Being". Through the years the path lead us to Walter Zernis, M.T. Walter's method of massage - with a combination of traditional massage, drawing upon techniques of chiropractic & meditative, is the most relaxing, refreshing, and simply the best we have ever discovered. His knowledge of Goji juice and O.P.C's (which we live by), his recommendations for diet and exercise, is a complete package of overall health.
I so trust Walter's work, that through the years he has worked on my children, Matthew (6) & Peter (3), since Peter was only a few months old. It is refreshing and gives me peace of mind to know there is someone out there in the health care profession who will treat the individual, and there well being honestly and sincerely, drawing upon the best resources they can for ultimate care that is sustainable and long term.
We think the Goji product is unbelievable. The increased energy level is undeniable. I have recommended it to family and friends for everything from overall well-being, to treatment for all ailments. It is a real "Fountain of Youth" in a bottle!

Recently I was at a seminar where the speaker, who is a quantum physicist and a sensitive, spoke on melding the two worlds. She mentioned the theory of one critical point being the point of breakdown or breakthrough; it is applicable as much to the Earth as to us individually.
Well, about two weeks ago, we hit that critical point in my house construction and family relationships. I've been drinking 3 oz. of Goji in the a.m. and p.m. and believe it supported me in ways possibly unknown to me. (We've been without a kitchen for almost three months now.) Anyhow, despite it all, I've remained healthy and wanted you to know I certainly attribute some of this to the Goji. Thanks for introducing me to it.

..."During the infancy of the Internet, back in 1994 my days were spent in front of a computer...sitting and typing for hours at a stretch. These were the days when terms like Carpal Tunnel and Repetitve Stress were unfamiliar to many computer users.
One day I had a twinge in my forearms, then I had troubling holding my friend's infant son, and then my arms were throbbingg in pain so much, I could not sleep without ice packs.
The pain finally became so bad I had to seek medical attention. After get a perscription for painkillers, which had some potential side effects and warnings about possible addiction, I began doing a little research about pain and what I was going through and chose to seek out safer alternative therapies.
I began doing traditional physical therapy and learning about the Alexander technique to understand proper body alignment. Learning how to work at a computer terminal was the first step to not hurting myself again.
I also sought out massage therapy as a way to alleviate pain. That is how I met Walter Zernis.
Walter had been working in Brooklyn for years and his wife, a colleague of mine said he might be able to help me.
My weekly sessions with Walter began to help immediately as I felt my arms begin to open up again and not hurt. Walter also showed me various stretching techniques to use my whole arms and not reinjure myself.
Walter also introduced me to the FreeLife health care line put out by Dr. Mindell; most notably his MSM formula in pill and powder form. Taking the MSM helped with my overall well being and helped maintain my muscles post injury. I continue to use FreeLife products over a decade later and continue to enjoy the health benefits from taking preemptive measures to heal myself.
