Jef, with the support of the Office of the Mayor, the Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department and the Health Foundation of South Florida, offers the TCA program for individuals living with chronic and/ or terminal illness.  

Most classes began with wheel chairs, canes and walkers doing TCA chair practice.  Most if not all are standing, and practicing the walking forms.  A former Wall Street executive, Jef finds sharing Dr. Paul Lam's TCA program is the path to a meaningful life,  especially for those who need is so great, to experience the benefits of TCA practice.   

"When they cross that doorway to practice, however they got here, it is a sign of great determination to feel better, so we practice."
