What do you do when you work with patients with neurological illnesses all day to hearing your husband has Parkinson's disease himself? Meet Ellen Blake, an amazing wife and mother to 3 whose husband was diagnosed with PD at the age of 38. Ellen works in the field of neurorehabilitation and describes the juxtaposition of the similarities between her occupation and her husband’s medical diagnosis. Ellen uses her creativity and skills as an avid DIYer as a form of self-care and keeping her own interests as a priority in her life to help her and her husband navigate Parkinson's disease in the best possible way.

You can find Ellen and all her creations on Instagram @the_mama_that_makes.

Her husband, Dave, is @the_dad_that_rocks.
