What are people saying about BBM?
While Bodies and Brains in Motion is a relatively new program, as an academic coach and tutor, Meredith has been implementing these strategies in her work with kids for years. She is creative, patient, supportive, inspired--and inspiring--integrating movement and health into her one-on-one work with kids. Her work brings together her years of experience in education, fitness, journalism and more. You truly can't ask for more in a coach for your child!

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Meredith for the effort she puts into planning and the enthusiasm she brings... As a long-time teacher myself, I applaud the tremendous energy and commitment Meredith devotes to the cause! To her students, every class seems new!

Our family has been working with Meredith for years. She has seen all our four children grow and our first off to college! My third child really struggled in school. Meredith worked with him one-on-one and with her patience and understanding he has really blossomed into a confident teenager. Her methods of using activity/fitness and education to help him engage in his writing worked so nicely for him and made it fun. The years of experience and professionalism really shine with Meredith. We can't thank her enough!
