Mime Over Mind is a creative and therapeutic program designed specifically for people living with Parkinson’s disease. Developed by Barbara Salsberg and led by Sarah Martens, this engaging class blends mindfulness, movement, and self-expression to support both motor and emotional well-being.

Using mime as a therapeutic tool, participants learn practical techniques that can help override many of the frustrating day-to-day symptoms of Parkinson’s. Through imaginative exercises that strengthen coordination, balance, visualization, and motor memory, you’ll build skills that can be put into practice immediately. Sessions begin with simple props to develop awareness of weight, size, and texture, gradually transitioning into expressive mime-based movement that enhances focus and body awareness.

Playful, accessible, and adaptable for all abilities, Mime Over Mind requires no special equipment and offers a joyful, supportive way to stay active, manage challenging symptoms more effectively, and improve everyday quality of life.
