Kendra helped me recognize and honor the spiritual elements that were already present in my daily life, while also introducing me to new ways of connecting with this part of myself. The sessions created a beautiful time for reflection and growth. The goal wasn't to "fix" anything or solve problems. Our sessions became a space where I could simply be present with these questions and practices without agenda, in a different way than I have interacted in the past with a therapist or coach. It was exactly what I needed to deepen my relationship with spirituality in my own authentic way.  - A.H

 

My experience with Kendra was transformational. My unqualified recommendation of her may be among a small handful of the best recommendations you receive in your life. - G.C.

Kendra – I cannot begin to tell you how much yesterday’s session helped … it was the best night’s sleep I have had in two months! Today, my body feels better, stronger, more centered, and my energy feels like it is returning, although I know this will take awhile. Your gifts are beyond compare. Now you know how much you have spoiled me over the years, and why no one else is even in the running. Thank you again, for your caring attitude, your effective advice, and most of all, for your presence. Craig B.

She applies these in ways that uniquely lead each person to the realization/experience of their inherent wholeness, and the experience of the Divinity that lives within each of them. She is a skilled and dedicated healing practitioner. Kendra has a powerful spiritual presence and maturity, heartfelt caring and compassion, and a vision for her client's healing. She is a dynamic source and force for Divine Good in the world. We have been, and you will be, blessed by her." - Rev. Rory Elder, Co Minister of Unity Church Monterey Bay

"..Even though it's a busy and potentially stressful semester for me, I've been coping much differently (and better) than before. It's kind of amazing what happens when you stop beating yourself up for everything, huh? I've been trying to fit in yoga classes where ever I can, but without focusing on what I 'should' be doing I've been more active consistently than I have been in a long time and haven't had the desire to binge in weeks."

I am a grateful member of the Neshamah Yoga classes Kendra leads at Temple Isaiah in Lafayette Ca. The classes are comprised of individuals of varying ages and skill levels. Kendra has the unique ability to create a session that is both physically and spiritually healing, and feels customized to the needs of each member. After each session with Kendra, I feel uplifted and have an overall sense of well being. 

​

Working with Kendra over the last six months has been truly an eye opening experience. She was able to evaluate imbalances in my life accurately and give me the tools needed, such as a solid and attainable plan, to address pertinent issues. Kendra's expertise and professionalism are bar none. Kara T.

​

I began my work with Kendra to help me improve my breathing, post-surgery. Little did I know, that with her talents and knowledge that she would help me in numerous ways, addressing pain, increasing strength, learning to listen to my body. Even when I could not clearly state what I needed Kendra has a way of helping you uncover what will help you, an approach that blends expertise of the body and an intuitive sense, leaving me always grateful for the time I spent with her.  - Barbara Elsberg

Since I wear a below the knee prosthetic, my walking alignment is always off...Which means my hips, back, and neck alignment gets off as well. I was so tired, stiff and sore this morning, and my foot was aching. After doing yoga with you, I feel as if I've spent an hour with a chiropractor! I have more energy, and my shoulders are back in alignment. The pain in my neck, back and hips are gone! What a difference an hour makes. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I can’t wait to do yoga with you on a weekly basis. You are amazing!!!!

Kendra Fried is a gift that you will never regret giving yourself. She came into our lives soon after we had a horrific and traumatic accident. We were all ‘banged up’ and had many balance issues that we could not seem to correct. She came to our home 2-3 times a week over several months and worked diligently and patiently with both of us, until such time that we got to the point where we once again had the stamina and courage to return to our local YMCA.

She is a sensitive, gentle and excellent trainer.  From my heart to yours, I suggest that whatever your health and physical issues are, give yourself ‘the gift of Kendra’. I promise that you will never regret it ….and will come away from it feeling so much stronger and better for having experienced working with her.

When I learned Kendra took private patients, I arranged for her to work with my husband in our home. My husband has physical and cognitive disabilities as the result of a massive stroke and was at a low point when Kendra came into his life. He was dubious about undertaking a rehabilitation program with her, but after the first session he was sold. Kendra struck just the right chord, with humor, challenge and encouragement. Kendra developed a holistic program for my husband that helped him regain confidence and some optimism about the future. She explained each recommendation and the expected benefits. The exercises and nutrition ideas Kendra introduced improved his strength, range of motion and mobility. Not only did Kendra help my husband, but she also coached me on how to better fulfill my role as caregiver for him, while still

caring for myself.  Kendra Fried earns my highest recommendation. She is the total package......fun, upbeat, and inspiring with top notch professional skills.

I was referred to Kendra by a friend who wanted me to “take better care of myself”. I also needed some ongoing guidance in exercising safely, after being released from physical therapy for a hip replacement. Kendra took the time to really understand both my physical and emotional concerns and then developed a varied work out program specific to my needs so I could experience the benefits and feel successful. Kendra is insightful, accepting and encourages me in the most positive way. Kendra emphasizes the importance of being kind to oneself and to maintain a positive attitude in all aspects of life. Given my busy and sometimes stressful schedule, Kendra often comes into my thoughts reminding me to give myself permission to recognize what my body and soul need in the moment and then time to fulfill that need. Kendra’s kindness, thoughtfulness and professional skills help me feel better each day.

My wife and I worked out with Kendra for almost a year. We are both extremely happy with all aspects of her work.

Of all the trainers I have had a long-term relationship with, Kendra was by far the best. She connects with clients and shows a genuine interest in their progress. Workouts are very specific to individual needs and adjust to issues on a session-by-session basis. In my case she focused on core strength and balance while with my wife there was more focus on yoga and martial arts. Kendra's broad background allows her to mix and match to best meet the needs and moods of the client. I really loved the boxing (with a bag), something I never would have expected. But what makes Kendra so exceptional is how much fun she makes each workout. She is one of the very special people! Clearly she enjoys what she does and puts 100% into each and every session. It is always about the client.
