Reflexology and Parkinson's

Thursday, February 14, 2013, I was invited to speak to a Parkinson Support Group on Reflexology, Holistic Health, and Nutritional support that effects Parkinson's. 

In my research for the presentation, I found a site that is wonderful and very helpful in helping those who are immersed in Parkinson's because of your health or the health of a loved one. Here is a piece I took from their site:



"Parkinson’s is not only a curable syndrome, it is one that, in most cases, can be reversed at home – a do-it-yourself recovery project.

›One of the goals of the Parkinson Disease Recovery project is to make our material as broadly available as possible.

›The hope, eventually, MDs will refer their newly diagnosed patients to this free, self-help material on recovery, rather than telling their patients that they have an “incurable illness.”"

Go to: ›www.pdrecovery.org for more information on their research. 

 In your path to help yourself or your loved one who is suffering with Parkinson's schedule a Free 50 minute Holistic Health consultation where we can discuss an alternative health walk that integrates with your current path.

It is a 50 minute consult that we would have together to see what your goals and direction is and will be and to see if we would want to put together a 6 month session to help you reach your goals. That 6 month program is 2 - 50 minute sessions a month for 6 months. I will have health gifts for your and sample foods to help you in addition to the coaching. Is this something that you might consider to gain health in 2013? This is not a program where you need to be in the same location I am. You can live anywhere around the world and do this program with me. I have openings for individual or groups for the 6 month programs beginning February.

Groups can be 5-9 people (20% off), 10-14 people (25% off), 15-19 people (30% off). Make your 2013 a Healthy Year!!
