"Intimacy doesn't have to vanish like a sunset if you're living with Parkinson's." Our friends Judith Sachs, the founder of ANYONE CAN DANCE®, and Dr. Kelly Rees, a s*x therapist, are launching a new and exciting program for couples and dating singles living with Parkinson's. It's called Date Night and Intimacy: Reconnecting Parkinsons' Couples.

This is an online, four-week program that includes private sessions for each couple. Everyone is welcome, including young onset couples and LGBTQ singles and couples who may have trouble talking with their provider about sensitive subjects and want help. Ready to learn more?
