Hello I'm Dr Nikki
I have found that my unique HERO journey steps can be distilled and adopted by others and they too can experience success managing their Parkinson's Journey. In 2019 I innovated and developed “WrapAround Teams” providing beneficial activities such as boxing, exercise, singing-voice therapy and dance. I found that exercise became more important for the quality of life for those living with Parkinson's than medication and research endorsed that too.
In November 2019, winning the prestigious Australian Pacific LNG Community Hero Award at the Queensland Community Achievement Awards, as “a mission-filled and purpose-driven person making a significant contribution to the People living with Parkinson’s Disease on the Sunshine Coast" was a very humbling and simultaneously exhilarating experience.
Honoured as a Community Leader (2021) for my contribution to Seniors at Awards marking the International Day of the Senior & Queensland Senior Month on the Sunshine Coast.
“Community Hero” is symbolic of the many facets of my life’s work which is about striving to guide & provide supportive scope as a Parkinson's Disease and NeuroRecovery Mentor and Support and a Elder Women's Wisdom guide.
I hope to help you in some way on your journey.
"The Awards acknowledge and reward the valuable contribution of those who have made a profound impact on the community, recognising great work.
