Complaint Review: Gentle Touch Healing Fred Popeski

I overlooked the tab where I was to identify myself as a consumer. Apologies for any misunderstanding.  Fred Popeski is the owner, I am a student. Other than that, my rebuttal still stands as written.  Thank you for your time, and the opportunity to clarify my error.

I attended my first class with Fred this week. One of the new students was a disabled woman, Fred devoted most of his attention to her as she practiceed quijong in a chair. His kindness and courtesy was moving. I said to myself, "this is a man who loves helping people."

Anyone who does the research will find the lineage of the Tai Chi  he teaches is of a easily verifiable lineage, and quite genuine. I had 12 years of study in Shaolin a decade ago,  I can attest to the grace and power in the forms Fred teaches. The complaint entered attests only to the envy and insecurity of the writer, and is a reflection of it's author, not a credible article about Fred Popeski.

Fred Popeski freely admits that he does not have a degree in psychology, but what he does have are several certifications in various modalities, including yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, and Quantum Touch healing. His credentials are not fraudulent; he is a certified 5th Generation instructor of the Wu Yi Jie He Family System. Having spent over 25 years studying Tai Chi, he continues receiving instruction from 4th Generation Master George Picard, from whom he received his certification, which is displayed on the wall of Fred's school for anyone to see.

As a woman with trust issues, I have no problem with Fred's techniques as he first asks permission before touching me or anyone else (unless his "regulars" have given him carte blanche permission). He lightly touches the shoulders, neck, head, and sometimes the heart; all for which he will ask permission. I have never witnessed him being unprofessional in this; Fred is serious about his art.

I have experienced Quantum Touch Healing sessions, and again, there have been no inappropriate advances. When Fred talks, he discusses light, love, releasing negativity, and opening one's heart. This may sound like "counseling" to some, but it is part of healing, and it comes from years of practice and instruction in his modalities. And it works. One does not have to have a degress in psychology to help people free themselves from their pain.

Fred's focus is on healing and wellness, and perhaps more importantly, helping people be able to heal themselves. He genuinely wants people to feel better in order to cause a ripple effect for people in their lives to feel better as well. I attend the majority of classes every week, and I have seen nothing but positivity.

Fred is an open, positive, cheerful, gregarious fellow who talks about love, light, and letting go. I can see how some damaged individuals could misconstrue these talks as "advances", but it is definitely not like that. All I've witnesses is Fred just wanting to help people get well through Tai Chi, Qigong, and the healing skills he's acquired through years of study and practice.

I am both a client and friend of Fred Popeski.  The original ripoff report was submitted by a former (disgruntled) acquaintance of Fred's that has a personal score to settle with him. Fred has performed energy work on me and it was very effective - I had a torn achillles tendon and the energy work helped my range of motion and cut my healing time substantially (per my physical therapist).  I have attended Fred's Tai Chi classes and I can personnally attest to his skills and credentials.  Anyone can attain "Tai Chi" certification at any corner "dojo" - but Fred is a uniquely qualified level 5 QiGong and Tai Chi instructor in the Wu Yi Jie He Family System that has a traceable lineage back to Grandmaster Wang Zi Ping. I wholeheartedly dispute the original posters character assassination of Fred as I can personally vouch for his integrity, honesty and reliability.
