We want to help people with Parkinson's disease to live full and happy lives.

 

We wanted a support group that made us feel better, not worse.

​

We wanted hope and optimism and a place to learn how we could live that way, too.

So we started our own group: Shakers Anonymous.

At our evening meetings, you’ll find people of all ages, from 30-something to 80-something.  

 

You’ll hear talks by doctors and researchers on promising new treatments.

 

Yes, you can share your struggles. But also share laughter, optimism, and hope.

 

A few years ago, we expanded Shakers Anonymous into Parkinson’s Body & Mind, to give people with Parkinson’s everything they need to live their best lives: medically, emotionally, and socially…body and mind.

• exercise programs to improve symptoms and fight progression.

• peer-led support groups for patients and caregivers (Shakers Anonymous).

• wellness programs grounded in positive psychology.

• a unique speaker series featuring leaders in Parkinson’s treatment and research.
