“I must say I was hesitant on doing this but it didn’t take long into our first session and Angie’s professional, yet fun personality put me at ease & I was actually having fun! I was able to relax as she has an enjoyable sense of humor she intertwined with her great knowledge of how the body and mind work together. Angie is very intuitive and a great listener which helped her to incorporate new ideas, along with the tried and true, while building personalized sessions off previous ones. Her soothing voice and encouraging words are inspiring. I would highly recommend to all couples to do this work with Angie as they will benefit so much from their investment of time and money.”

Movement, Music & Connection™
Dance and music have shown to improve bodily control, reduce symptoms and increase energy for individuals with Parkinson’s Disease. But it’s more than just dance and music. It’s understanding movement and rhythm through the eye of the brain.
Somatic movement is gentle, science-based movement that connects the feeling, moving body with the thinking, processing brain. For people living with Parkinson’s, the body-brain connection is vital.
Movement, Music & Connection™ brings together somatic movement, movement repatterning, dance and music to help individuals and couples keep symptoms at bay while keeping life (and love!) vibrant.
Spouses participate for free! (Click on the COUPLES page to learn more about movement communication in marriage.)
