Take control of your life.

A warm hello to Roberta, Laura, Alex, Daniele, and all the other wonderful people at the Regen Center!
I’m sorry to be so delayed in responding to your request for feedback to the program, but I have been very busy implementing the lessons that I learned during my week there, and simply getting on with the business of living, that I seem to have very few spare moments! Please feel free to use my comments on your website or other materials. 😘
I learned of your center several months after having been diagnosed, feeling like a bomb exploded in the middle of my life and wondering what the future would hold for me. I (like many others), I had been told by my neurologist that I had Parkinson’s and to take some pills and come back in six months with very little additional guidance or support offered .
This did not feel right to me, so I began my search for resources that could help me figure out a better path forward, one that took into account the psychological aspects as well as the non-pharmaceutical options available to me such as diet and exercise.
What I found of the center was a group of extremely dedicated professionals who seemed entirely focused on helping me with this task. From Dr. Silvia who validated my feelings of grief about my diagnosis, but also assured me that I had I have the power to choose to be an active participant in my own life and disease management, to Daniele who patiently but firmly and with a good sense of humor pushed me to understand that I could work outside of what I thought my physical limits were in order to see improvements in my motor symptoms, to Roberta and Laura, who coordinated all aspects of our days in a friendly and always helpful manner, to Alex the founder who serves as an inspiration an example to all of us “Parkies” of how to live well despite our limitations.
I include my fellow patients in my praise, with whom I found camaraderie and encouragement and shared goals. Everyone involved is an integral piece of the puzzle of learning to live with Parkinson’s and viewing it less like a disease and more of a chronic condition that can be managed.
I feel very lucky that I found the center when I did because I feel that it has set me on the right path at the right time. It is truly a place where you can begin to understand that well the path may be challenging, you can be heard and encouraged. Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. ♥️

P.S.I look forward to returning again next year to celebrate my progress.

To Alex and all the staff,
I would like to say thank you for all you’ve done for me… I hope we can see each other again and thank you very much!
God bless us all!
