Tia Ma
Tia Ma is an entrepreneur, resilience coach, and Shaolin Qigong instructor who has spent 4 decades exploring what it means to heal, transform, and create from the inside out.
Her work blends nervous system education, tools for embodying resilience, and somatic energy practices. Through online courses, 1:1 coaching, retreats, and international workshops, Tia helps people reconnect with their bodies, build emotional regulation, and discover the inner resources that carry them through life’s transitions with greater awareness.
A focus of her work is grief and our collective relationship with death and dying. She advocates for the legalization of Death with Dignity and teaches people not only how to grieve, but how to be a safe support for others in grief, bringing communities together so no one has to grieve alone.
Grief is not something to “get through quickly.” It is a sacred doorway to meaning, creativity, connection to the Divine, and deep transformation.
