Sophia McDermott
"For over a decade I have been focused on creating balance in my life, body, mind and soul. The most important part is being willing to tune in and listen to what my body and mind needs. Making decisions that empower me have been fundamental. Learning to let go and trust has been a big part of my journey also. "
