Happy New Year 🥳

It’s that time of year for many people and myself that are feeling reflective and keen to start making changes and creating new positive habits.

I’m currently listening to a new Audible Book - Atomic Habits by James Clear. He has an amazing inspiring story and he has learnt that all big things start from small beginnings.

I believe journaling will help you reach this big change in your life by writing down exactly what you are doing now and organising what you can stop that isn’t helpful and choosing when and where you can fit in your new powerful habits that gives you instant results.

I created this wellbeing journal for people like you and me to practice journaling everyday when you want to make a difference in your life. It leads to better decision making and turns new behaviours into long term habits.

I generally offer this journal to all of my clients but now I want to share it with you and everyone who wants to make a difference in their life “this year” and become successful at creating these awesome new little habits that will have a huge impact on our wellbeing.

Physical activity and exercise can be just as important as your medication to help you take control and manage your symptoms.

But sometimes you might not feel motivated to exercise. This might be because you don’t enjoy it, or you’re not usually very active.

Here we share some tips for getting active and staying motivated 👉🏼 https://prksn.uk/3IFmWAQ

Below is a photo of me and Jennie 4 years ago. I still teach Online Pilates with Jennie once a week and it has been a pleasure and an inspiration on how dedicated she is to continue her fitness regime especially throughout lock down.

I would like to share her testimonial of how Pilates helped her in the very beginning

"I have been having 1-to-1 tuition at home with Jo, for a couple of months and there has been a remarkable improvement in my flexibility and balance. I have Parkinson's, which causes rigidity of movement and problems with balance, and Jo has concentrated on addressing these issues. Of course, to benefit from Jo's personal exercise regime, I practice every day, which has become part of daily life. My posture has also improved as has my confidence. Jo is a brilliant teacher, very professional, patient and caring. Worth every penny.
Jennie Goodwin 💗

Hi there,

I would like to introduce myself as the new activity leader, in Kingsbridge, and I would like to invite everyone who is affected by Parkinson’s, family members and carers to this event.

I want to create a regular monthly support group that will help people not only cope with the day-to-day realities of having Parkinson's disease but have the opportunity to have some fun, have a drink, swap stories and share resources that can be truly therapeutic.

Please join us in July to create new friendships, have some fun and see what activities we can create for everyone.
