Our mission is:

• - To guide people with Movement Disorders to uncover the power within themselves to create a thriving active lifestyle that allows them to stay connected to the people, activities, and places they love.
• - To guide people diagnosed with neurological disease to go FROM feeling isolated and fearing the future to instead becoming a beacon of hope for themselves while illuminating a world of possibilities often unheard of in the medical community.
• - To change the rehabilitation paradigm for people with neurological diagnoses going from a restorative, low-impact, low frequency model to a dynamic, creative, neuroplasticity driven, preventative and restorative model which emphasizes treating the whole person for better outcomes and quality of life.
