About the Day
Neuro-Health Immersion is a physician-led educational and experiential program for patients interested in mind-body approaches to neurological health. The program introduces practical, non-pharmacological tools that may support nervous system regulation, stress management, body awareness, and daily self-management.
Participants will be guided through gentle movement, structured breathing, yoga nidra, and sound-based relaxation, with clinical discussion connecting these practices to neurological symptoms and everyday function. The program is held in a quiet nature-based setting to support learning, practice, and reflection.
The program includes general clinical education and group discussion. It is intended to complement, not replace your current neurological care. It does not include individualized diagnosis or medication management. Patients who want individualized medical review may schedule a separate neurology consultation.

Who is this for?
This program may be appropriate for adults with:
Parkinson’s disease
Learn to use breath, meditation, and relaxation to support mobility, sensory awareness, and daily self-management.
Multiple Sclerosis
Patients with MS may benefit from structured approaches to rest, stress management, fatigue awareness, and nervous system regulation.
Migraine and Sensory Sensitivity
The program introduces breath, relaxation, and sensory downshifting to reduce impact of stress and daily exposures.
Stress-sensitive neurological conditions
Many neurological symptoms fluctuate with fatigue, stress, sensory load, and autonomic activation. Learn self-regulation skills which can be applied in daily life.
Please note: This program takes place on a hilly campus. Participants must be able to walk hills and climb stairs comfortably.
Who is this for?
This program is designed for adults with neurological conditions or stress-sensitive neurological symptoms who are interested in learning practical mind-body skills as a complement to their existing medical care.
Parkinson’s Disease
Dr. Mulukutla’s academic work includes meditation and related mind-body approaches as they apply to Parkinson’s symptoms. This program offers practical skills for patients interested in using breath, meditation, and relaxation practices to support mobility, stress regulation, attention, sensory awareness, and daily self-management as part of a broader neurological care plan.
Multiple Sclerosis
Patients with MS may benefit from structured approaches to rest, stress management, fatigue awareness, and nervous system regulation. The research on mind-body practices and inflammatory markers is still developing, and this program is intended as a complement to standard MS care.
Migraine and Sensory Sensitivity
The program introduces breath, relaxation, sensory downshifting, and attention-based practices that may help patients develop tools for stress-sensitive symptoms and sensory overload. These practices are intended to complement, not replace, migraine medications or other medical treatment.
Stress-sensitive neurological conditions
Many neurological symptoms fluctuate with fatigue, stress, sensory load, and autonomic activation. This program teaches practical self-regulation skills that patients can apply in daily life.
Please note: This program takes place on a hilly campus. Participants must be able to walk hills and climb stairs comfortably.
