Meet the Team

Power for Parkinson’s Staff

  • Co-Founder & Executive Director

    Dr. Nina Mosier is a retired Internist with a special interest in geriatric medicine. She received her B.A. at Northwestern University and her medical degree at Hahnemann University in Philadelphia. She practiced in both Chicago and Austin for 10 years.

    After taking time off to raise her children in Austin she found her passion was to help improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s disease. Meshing her medical background with her personal experience with her father who struggled with the disease, she collaborated with Susan Stahl to bring a free fitness program to Austin’s Parkinson’s community. For over a decade she has collaborated with a team of fitness professionals and creatives to develop Power for Parkinson’s, a multi-formatted, research-based Parkinson’s symptom-focused program that has grown to be the top channel globally for Parkinson’s fitness on YouTube.  Dr. Mosier continues to dedicate her time to helping the PD community find joy in movement and live their best possible life.


  • Marketing Manager

    As PFP’s Marketing Manager, Zoë leads efforts to connect PFP’s services with the people who need them most through social media, advertising, emails, flyers, and web-design.  Zoë has a background as a blogger, social media manager, and content creator for small businesses and nonprofits around the world, and a passion for amplifying the causes she believes in through strategic marketing.  After spending a year volunteering at a small exercise class for people with PD in Seattle, Zoë was inspired by the seemingly-magical power of exercise to improve Parkinson’s symptoms.  Driven by a desire to help bring life-changing exercise to more people with PD,  Zoë joined Power for Parkinson’s in 2022, and has been an essential part of the team ever since! When she’s not working with the PFP crew, Zoë enjoys painting, running, and volunteering with baby opossums at Austin Wildlife Rescue.

    She uses her expertise to drive positive change and contribute to the evolution of society towards a better future. She is always eager to take on new challenges and push the boundaries of what is possible in the field of innovation. Her goal with PFP is to continue creating unique experiences for our community, leveraging our strengths and opportunities to fortify bonds among our participants

    Working with a diverse team that is passionate about individuals facing Parkinson’s and their caregivers aligns perfectly with her professional and personal growth. It inspires her to work towards improving the quality of life for others, and above all, aligns with her commitment to strengthening communities. 

    Her mottos of "Keep it simple" and "Make things happen!" guide her work, driven by a strong sense of purpose and a desire to make a positive impact on society. At PFP, the limit is our imagination for creating memorable experiences. If you have any different ideas that you consider important for us, do not hesitate to communicate with Sara.
