This Valentine’s Day, why not be your own Valentine? 💗

Enjoy a love note from our m.o.v.e. social worker Megan on how kindness, acceptance, and showing up for yourself create the perfect Valentine’s Day recipe.

Thinking about joining a m.o.v.e. Cohort? Now’s the time—spring registration closes 2/16! Don’t miss your chance to connect with this incredible community.

Your moment is now!!

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to start, this is it. Only 2 spots remain in our March cohort, and enrollment closes February 16th (that’s less than a week!!)

This isn’t just exercise—it’s learning to move with intention, speak with power, and live with confidence. Our multimodal approach combines movement, balance, cognition, and voice work in a supportive community that understands the journey.

Early intervention matters. Meeting Parkinson’s at diagnosis with the right tools changes everything.

“They should have what they want. They deserve what they want... I hope they get what they want...”

Our participants want to move. They want to laugh. They want to feel strong, capable, and connected.

And they NEED evidence-based programming that addresses the whole picture—speech, balance, movement, function, cognition, coordination, and so much more. They need early intervention. They need a community that understands.

At m.o.v.e., we deliver both. What you want AND what you need.

We just want YOU.

Spring 2026 enrollment closes February 16th. If you’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s within the last 10 years, this is your invitation. Enroll today.

At m.o.v.e. our programs are built on four powerful pillars that work together to help you take control of your Parkinson’s journey:

🧩 MULTIMODAL We don’t treat your body in pieces—we work on everything at once. Every session combines speech, physical, and occupational exercise so you’re strengthening your voice, movement, balance, and thinking all together, just like real life demands.

📢 OVER-EXAGGERATED Go bigger and turn up the volume! When you have Parkinson’s, what feels “normal” to you often results in smaller movement or a quieter voice. By training yourself to over-exaggerate, you’re actually retraining your brain to hit the right target.

🎯 VOLITIONAL Every movement matters because YOU choose it. This isn’t passive—it’s purposeful, conscious control of your body and voice. That active engagement creates the brain connections that carry over into your daily life.

💪 EXERCISE Real physical work that challenges you. Our bootcamp-style sessions build the strength, endurance, coordination, and confidence you need to live fully. This is where therapy meets the functional world.

Together, these four pillars create a program that doesn’t just maintain—it empowers. Ready to m.o.v.e. with us?
