About The Foundation

PD Movement Lab helps people with Parkinson's foster a renewed sense of self. Through practical movement strategies they can learn techniques to improve mobility and adapt creatively. And from interviews with outstanding PwPs, they can discover models and ideas for an active and engaged life.

In From Parkinson's to a Poet, author Melody Eddins shares her experiences living with Parkinson's disease and how she turned to poetry as a form of therapy and expression. Her poems are meant to inspire readers through both laughter and tears as she recounts stories from her life as a wife, mother and grandmother.

This compassionate, informative, and essentially practical book will help fill the gap too often left in doctor-patient communication. Patients are often given only minimal information about their condition and its treatment, with the family left to adapt as best they can to the long-term demands of the illness.  (Demos Medical Publishing)

The Secret Life of Parkinson's is a podcast created by Parkinson's patients, sharing their stories and interviewing others, on things we deal with on a daily basis. It's hard for people with PD to talk to others about the disease because sometimes it's difficult for the patient themselves to describe what they are feeling. Talking to other PD patients helps us express what we are going through in ways we might not be able to express to family and friends.
