About
I’m Veronica, the heart behind Veronica Li Studio, a space where art, yoga, and sound healing meet as tools for remembrance, release, and return.
My work is rooted in the belief that healing doesn’t have to be rigid or heavy. It can be intentional, embodied, and even a little playful. Whether I’m creating mixed-media art, guiding a yoga flow, or holding space through sound, my intention is always the same: to help people come back home to themselves.
Yoga and sound healing became part of my life not just as practices, but as lifelines, especially through seasons of grief, transition, and rebuilding. I teach yoga as an invitation to move with awareness and compassion, honoring where you are while gently challenging what you believe is possible. My sound baths are designed to soothe the nervous system, quiet the mind, and create space for whatever needs to surface or soften.
Art is my language of expression and transformation. Each piece I create is deeply personal, intuitive, and emotionally charged, meant not just to be seen, but felt. Together, my art and healing work reflect a balance of earthiness and clarity, depth and lightness, reverence and humor.
Everything I offer on the mat, through sound, or on canvas is an extension of my lived experience and my devotion to healing from the roots up. My hope is that when you engage with my work, you feel supported, grounded, and reminded of your own inner wisdom.
My Why
Braxton is my why.
Everything I create, hold, and offer comes back to him. He is the thread that runs through my art, my teaching, my healing work, and my devotion to living with intention. Though he is no longer physically here, his presence is constant, felt in quiet moments, creative flow, and the spaces where the heart softens.
Losing Braxton changed me forever. It cracked me open in ways I never imagined, stripping life down to what is essential. In that unraveling, I learned that love does not disappear, it transforms. Grief became my teacher, guiding me toward deeper compassion, patience, and reverence for the human experience.
Yoga, sound healing, and art became the ways I learned how to breathe again. They helped me stay connected to my body, to spirit, and to Braxton. Through movement, vibration, and creative expression, I found places where love and loss could coexist without one canceling out the other.
Braxton is my reminder to live honestly, to create fearlessly, and to hold space gently. He is why I believe in healing from the roots, why I approach my work with depth and heart, and why I show up for others navigating their own grief, transformation, or becoming.
This work is for him.
This life is for him.
And through everything I offer, his light continues to move through me.
To my sweet boy, my late son, Braxton Somchai
I love you and I honor you. In all ways. Always.
