Meet Sophia.
With a background in vocal therapy and a heart for community, Sophia leads a choir unlike any other — one designed specifically for people living with Parkinson’s. Her sessions aren’t about perfection or performance. They’re about healing, empowerment, and joy through song.
Sophia sees music not as entertainment, but as therapy. She runs a choir program for individuals with Parkinson’s — though “choir” might not quite capture what happens in that room.
Each session begins with vocal and respiratory exercises, helping participants strengthen their voices and breath support. The second half is reserved for something more personal: singing songs participants actually love. Over time, Sophia says, voices grow stronger, and confidence builds.
But the real magic? It’s in the connections that form.
Faces return week after week, building familiarity and trust. “It’s turned into both a choir and a support group,” she explains.
Through joyful sound and shared experience, Sophia is helping people find their voice — literally and figuratively.
