Army Veteran Finds Life-Changing Relief in Just One Week of Tai Chi

After taking just 1 week of our online Tai Chi classes, an Army veteran experienced life-changing effect.

James T. Cohan is an 82nd Airborne veteran who has faced mental health challenges from his mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):

“In just 1 week of taking the Tai Chi class from Holistic Health Pros, I noticed improvements in mental clarity, sleep, pain reduction, and emotional regulation. I feel more relaxed, more present, and more capable of handling challenges with calm focus. It’s been life changing.”

After trying other Tai Chi classes that felt difficult, James found our program, taught by Master Peter, “making it easy to connect the dots between my brain and body.”

A student in our Tai Chi Practitioner training program, James runs a business on Long Island, New York — Slick Horns Horsemanship — where veterans and first responders learn horsemanship skills to build confidence and resilience.

As James puts it: “I believe pairing horsemanship and Tai Chi can be beneficial for anyone with emotional distress or people with the will to learn more about themselves and grow.”

Stories like James’s highlight how mind–body practices such as Tai Chi can support mental health and resilience — and how our online training program helps make these benefits accessible through clear, effective instruction that empowers real changes.
