Move

to Thrive

A 6-week series to kick-start lasting movement

You already know exercise is one of the most powerful tools for living well with Parkinson’s.  But turning that knowledge into action can feel tough, especially when:

  • You’re not sure how to get started, or how to stay consistent

  • Motivation is hard to find, especially on tough days

  • Fitting movement into your day feels overwhelming

  • Fatigue makes even small steps seem out of reach

Through the Parkinson’s Empowered app, you’ll follow a six-week foundational path of bite-sized videos, tools, and practical actions that help you fit movement into your everyday life.  You’ll take small, purposeful steps that turn knowledge into action, help you move with purpose, and build routines that last. Because while your diagnosis may have changed your path, you’re still in control of what comes next.

Introducing Move to Thrive

Move to Thrive takes evidence-based exercise recommendations and turns them into simple, practical steps. You’ll understand what to do, why it matters, when to do it, and how to adjust based on where you are right now. It’s a gentle, guided series delivered through the Parkinson’s Empowered App, designed specifically for people living with Parkinson’s.

Each week gives you one clear step forward:

  • A short video (15-20 minutes) you can watch anytime

  • A simple tool or worksheet to help you take action

  • A clear focus so you know exactly what to do

You’re also invited to join the private community forum where you can:

  • Ask questions, share wins, or simply check in

  • Receive encouragement from the Parkinson’s Empowered coaches and others walking on a similar path

  • Feel seen, supported, and reminded that you’re not alone

Routine

How it works

The program unfolds gently over 6 weeks, with each step building on the last so you always know what to focus on next.

  • Explore how these three pillars work together to support living well with Parkinson’s. You’ll start by observing what you already do, building awareness without pressure.

  • Understand the evidence-based exercise recommendations for Parkinson’s and assess your own starting point.

  • Discover how to build small, sustainable habits that don’t rely on motivation.

  • Find your right level of challenge and begin a safe, progressive cardio and strength plan designed for Parkinson’s.  Or, if you already have a routine, learn how to adapt it with new clarity and confidence. ‌

  • Connect with the deeper reason behind your efforts and turn it into simple goals that keep you motivated and consistent, even on tough days.

  • Build confidence in your ability to adapt and follow through, with mindset tools and practical strategies that help you stay on track long after the series ends.

Got Questions?

  • Yes! Move to Thrive is open year-round, so you can join whenever you're ready.

  • Move to Thrive fits into real life, not take it over. Each week’s email takes about 30–60 minutes to watch, read, and reflect on. With exercise, the time you spend will depend on where you’re starting from. Some people begin with just 10–15 minutes a day, while others are already further along in their exercise journey. The program will help you find a rhythm that feels realistic for you—without adding overwhelm.

  • When you join Move to Thrive, you’ll access the program through the Parkinson’s Empowered App.  The series is drip-fed over six weeks, with new videos, tools, and actions unlocked each week to help you build lasting change step by step.

    After completing the series, you’ll keep full access to all program materials, tools, and resources for six months, so you can revisit the content and refresh your routines anytime.

    If you’d like to stay connected beyond that, you can maintain access for just $10/month, or progress into the Parkinson’s Empowered membership.  The membership is a space for deeper support that expands on your foundations.  Inside the membership, we explore not only exercise in more depth, but also other key areas of living well with Parkinson’s.

  • Move to Thrive focuses on cardio and strength training, the two types of exercise that offer the most significant long-term advantages for Parkinson's. These are the foundations that help you stay strong, mobile, and independent.

    In the earlier stages, we also weave agility and balance into your current cardio and strength routines. These areas remain important throughout your journey. As symptoms change over time, there may be a gradual shift toward dedicating more energy to agility and balance work, while still keeping cardio and strength as your base.

  • We know everyone’s journey with Parkinson’s is different, and sometimes Move to Thrive may not feel like the right fit. If that happens, just get in touch. We are here to support you, suggest other options or resources, and if you decide after receiving your first week and before your second that the series isn’t for you, we can discuss a refund. This window is in place because of the intellectual property shared throughout the series.

    We appreciate honest feedback. Please share your experience if you’re comfortable. Your input helps us grow and serve better. We process all refunds within 14 business days.

    Please know that this doesn’t affect your connection to our community, you’re welcome back anytime. All requests and discussions are treated with confidentiality and respect.

  • You are billed immediately. It is a one-off payment for lifetime access to the Move to Thrive content (even future iterations).

  • Yes! When you join Move to Thrive, you will have access to a private group inside the Parkinson’s Empowered App that is dedicated to the series. This is your space to connect with others who are on the same journey, share wins and challenges, and know you are not doing this alone. The forum is safe, supportive, and encouraging, so you always have a place to ask questions, find motivation, and celebrate progress together.

  • Yes, you can join the membership at any time. That said, Move to Thrive helps you lay sound foundations. It’s a guided, step-by-step journey that “holds your hand” and makes getting started feel simple and achievable.

    The membership includes a wide range of resources, tools, and community support. It works best once you already have some foundations in place and are ready to explore more on your own.

    If you’re just beginning, we usually recommend starting with Move to Thrive so you build confidence and momentum first, and then adding the membership when you’re ready for the next layer of support.
