Thank you for the list! do you know if there will still be sessions out there?
I should contact her but I believe she might be postponing because she didn’t have enough interest.
If ever you do get some feedback please do let me know! But how did you come across Dr Leader? Im trying to understand essentially how her service can differ from a Naturopath. There are so many specialists who can play an integral role in managing the disease and finding good people is quite tricky. Really appreciate your inputs!
Actually Lucille is not a 'Dr', medical or otherwise, her husband is. She has been several things, a pianist, a music therapist. She has a 'team' to help her. I first consulted her ten years ago. I worked with her on and off for about a year. She has made it her business to help people with Parkinson’s through recommending diet and nutritional supplements based on individual needs. She cares about the individual. She does charge London prices though. I would contact her and register your interest. Her contact details are on the original post.
The next session being run is from 4th to 6th July
