Sophia is a Health and Wellness instructor throughout the Macomb/St. Clair Communities. She teaches many health and wellness modalities, from Nutrition to Tai Chi. Her journey with Tai Chi/Qi Gong began ten years ago after years of being a Massage Therapist. Her goal was to help others feel good mentally and physically, but after many years of practice, her loved profession started to take a toll on her health. She found Tai Chi was the key to strength and healing.
