When Your Body Says No: Living with Stiffness and Parkinson’s
Some mornings, my body feels like concrete — stiff, heavy, uncooperative. It’s one of Parkinson’s most frustrating symptoms, and yet, it’s also where I’ve learned the most about patience, grace, and resilience. Movement, warmth, and self-compassion have become my daily tools to push back against the rigidity and reclaim a sense of freedom.

When Denial Shows Up
🌿 Denial has a way of creeping in—whether it’s the big “this can’t be happening to me” moments or the smaller daily frustrations when our bodies don’t cooperate. This week on the blog, I’m sharing how I’ve learned to meet denial with grace, self-care, and compassion.
The Power of Art
Living with Parkinson’s isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about finding ways to reconnect with joy, identity, and purpose. In our latest blog, we explore how art therapy offers powerful emotional and physical benefits for people living with Parkinson’s disease. From improving fine motor skills to easing anxiety and building confidence, creative expression can be a game-changer. You don’t have to be an artist—just willing to pick up a brush and let your imagination lead.
