From a small healing arts clinic founded in 1975, Tai Sophia Institute has grown to become a preeminent academic institution for wellness-based education, clinical care, research, and public policy discourse. Our integration of eastern and western thinking has empowered and transformed individuals, organizations and communities.

Today, we also keep a keen eye on the demands of the business world. Our graduates learn about building a clinical practice, being a healing presence, and being a catalyst for change in all domains of life. Students come to us from many different paths and use the knowledge and experience they gain here to bring renewed passion to a career they have already chosen or, more often, to reach out into a new direction.

Upon graduating, students in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine often open their own clinical practices or join existing groups. Those in Transformative Leadership and Social Change/Applied Healing Arts venture forth into anything and everything from healthcare to law, business to education.

Vision
Rooted in nature and timeless wisdom, Tai Sophia Institute will be an anchoring academic institution for a global wellness community that enables all of us to practice the arts of living and dying.

Mission
Tai Sophia Institute is a graduate school for the healing arts and sciences characterized by our values-driven learning community and our commitment to shape the future of healthcare through personal and public service.

Our transformative and relationship-centered programs and services integrate the timeless wisdom of nature and ancient healing traditions with contemporary knowledge to develop practitioners and leaders capable of creating and sustaining individual and community wellness.
