Our Mission
We hope to build the biggest and best community for all who suffer from neurological impairments and disorders, to train, connect, and learn new skills.
Our Values
With an emphasis on diet, exercise, mental health, we strive to connect likeminded individuals who wish to improve their lives, in more ways than one.
Neuro Guild is the hub for all who suffer from neurological impairments and disorders (e.g., hereditary spastic paraplegia, motor neuron disease, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.), to train, connect, participate in live events, courses, Q&As, and learn new skills.
We hope to make this website the number one place to go to for training programs, resources, advice, support, and direction. We also hope to provide and teach alternative thoughts, skills, and hobbies through courses and events with experts.
