About Michelle Underhill:
Michelle was born and lived her first years in Georgia. She enjoyed planting roots around the United States growing up in a military family. While attending Colorado State University to earn her Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Disorders, Michelle met and married Jason, a Fort Collins native. She stayed close to home, commuting to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley to complete her Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology in 1996.After finishing her Clinical Fellowship and beginning her career, Michelle took some time to raise and homeschool their two children. Returning to work in 2011, she found a new passion in working with individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease. That passion turned into a dream to start her own practice specializing in evaluating and treating people with PD.Michelle is the former president of Parkinson's Support Group Larimer County.
Visitors and newcomers are always welcome. There is no admission charge. And for now, we are streaming the presentation portion of these monthly meetings on Zoom – details are in our newsletter.
