CONGRATULATIONS!
You're in! 🧡
You just joined the Priority List, which means you'll be the very first to hear when the MS Holiday Relief Toolkit opens... what it is, when it's available, and how to grab your spot before anyone else.
→ First things first: check your email.
Your free MS Holiday Season Resource Guide is landing in your inbox right now.
It's a short, no-pressure collection of six conversations from my podcast and YouTube channel, built around the three things that tend to sneak up this time of year:
✓ Energy ... why MS fatigue works differently than regular tired, and how to have a little more left by the time dinner rolls around
✓ Overwhelm ... choosing calm on purpose, even when the calendar isn't cooperating
✓ Travel ... planning ahead for unfamiliar places, right down to stairs you don't know
Listen or watch, whichever way you like to take things in... whenever you've got twenty minutes to spare.
Don't see the email in the next few minutes? Peek in your spam or promotions folder, and add us to your contacts so nothing important gets lost later.
Now... while you wait for the Toolkit details, I want to offer you a little head start.
(Completely optional. Promise.)
If you've tried physical therapy or other exercise programs in the past and they didn't help, it's not because of your MS, or your lack of effort. Those exercises didn't focus on improving the strength of your neural pathways in addition to your muscles.
That's the gap this book was written to close.
The MSing Link: The Essential Guide to Improve Walking, Strength & Balance with MS Written by Dr. Gretchen Hawley, PT and MS-certified specialist, whose research-backed method has helped thousands with MS across 37+ countries.
This is the book that explains the why underneath everything we do.
Why regular exercise so often falls short for MS... and what actually helps your body change.
It walks you through:
→ Neuroplasticity (your brain's ability to build stronger movement pathways through practice... basically, strengthening the wifi connection between your brain and your muscles)
→ The right way to exercise with MS, not around it
→ How to modify movements for your body on any given day
→ How to measure your own progress so you can actually see it
→ And the mindset piece that holds it all together
It's the same guide Selma Blair has praised... "Finally! A brilliant and most practical book on understanding neuroplasticity and exercise with MS." …. and it's yours for $9.99.
Here's the honest part: you do not need this to join the Toolkit when it opens. Not a single page of it.
But if you're the kind of person who likes to understand why something works before diving in, this is the groundwork we'll build on together... so when the Toolkit opens, it already makes sense.
Read it now, read it later, or set it aside for another day. No pressure, no homework.
Yes, I'd Like the Ebook → $9.99Instant access, readable on any device. And as always, check with your healthcare provider before starting anything new. You've got this.
Praised by Dr. Terry Wahls and Selma Blair
Dr. Gretchen Hawley's action-focused guide offers straightforward steps to take control of your MS symptoms and feel empowered.
MS-related fatigue, weakness, difficulty walking, and poor balance often respond to neuroplasticity exercises, which strengthen neural pathways, not just muscles, and are often overlooked or ignored. This time can be different. With consistency, you can start to feel a difference.

Rather than give you endless exercises to follow...
This course teaches you the principles that help exercise actually work for your brain and body.
Here's what's different:
Most programs give you exercises to follow.
This course teaches you how to approach movement differently, so those exercises actually work.
It will help you understand:
- Why quality matters more than doing more reps with poor form
- Why stopping before fatigue can actually help
- Why repetition matters for neuroplasticity
- Why certain habits may be reinforcing the movement patterns you want to change
So instead of guessing, you’ll have a clearer way to think about exercise with MS.
So instead of second-guessing what to do… you’ll have a clear understanding of:
- Why progress may still be possible with MS
- How neuroplasticity supports movement
- How to structure exercise without overdoing it
- Why quality and rest breaks matter
- Which habits may be slowing your progress
- How to choose 1–2 exercises from the included class and start practicing
You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to make exercise more effective for your body.
