Parkinson’s and The Invisible Man

Hi, I’m Scott — welcome.

Long before Parkinson’s, I knew what it felt like to feel invisible. I grew up in a dysfunctional, avoidant family, was bullied at school, and came out as gay in my teens. 
At 18 I escaped to London & drama school; going on to work as a professional actor in theatre, tv and film - only to realise that pretending to be other people was a very creative way of disappearing from myself.

Searching for identity, I travelled to India, lived in an ashram, studied yoga- which I taught for over a decade in London.

In 2011 strange symptoms began; after denial, 9 months of tests and a misdiagnosis of MS and FND, I was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson’s in 2013, at 37. I didn’t realise how life-changing it would be, or how resilient I was. Living with my invisible life partner, I’m reminded to be present, let go of past identities & trauma and continue my path of healing, self acceptance and love.
