“I want to thank Valerie for her patience. She does her job well because she cares for her patients”

But the most important gift she gave me was a different understanding, on an emotional level, of the value and importance of the exercise in which she was training me. For instance, she summarized that she was ‘retraining my brain’

It was an hour session that enabled me to use my limbs that were going dormant. I shouted out YES!

“You are a wonderful teacher. I am glad I had the opportunity to work with you. You are a blessing to PD patients and others who benefit from your lovingly tough classes. Thank you for all you do. Your commitment to helping others is demonstrated continually by your words and actions.”

“Valerie truly has a great thing going for this population. Every mutual patient we share just raves about her personality and how hard she works them. Thank you for all you do for our community.”

Thanks to Dr. Valerie Johnson, I have changed my outlook on life. I can live with Parkinson’s, it will not defeat me…
