Sophai has been a RN for 9 years and a NP for 3 years. She started out in home health which sparked her interest in preserving youth, which, to her, meant health and physical function. Sophai worked in hormone replacement therapy when she became a NP because she saw how significantly hormones dictate physical functionality. When she was introduced to aesthetics, she began to see how self-perception affects behavior. When people feel good about their appearance, it improves their mood and helps them make better choices, which, in turn, affects their health. Sophai makes taking care of her body and aging well part of her hobbies. On days she is not playing volleyball and doing aerial silks, she runs or takes a walk. Her love for beauty manifests itself into her love for travel. The most beautiful thing in this world, is this world. She’s been to Mexico, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Spain, France, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Bulgaria, Greece, Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia and hopes to travel more before the year is over.
