Steady Currents: Sail the Danube

A curated river cruise for those living with Parkinson's and their loved ones

 

Travel with Confidence.

Connect with Community.

Experience the Journey.

My name is Roxanne Julius, and I am a physical therapist in Minnesota with nearly 20 years of experience working with individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease. Over the years, I have had the privilege of supporting people with Parkinson’s through movement, exercise, education, and encouragement. 

In addition to my clinical work, I am also the travel agency owner of Dellwood Travel, and I am excited to share a very special opportunity that I believe will be meaningful for individuals living with Parkinson’s and the people who care about them.
