The remote healing treatment with Sophia was remarkable - as if she was right in the room with me. Sophia has a keen 6th sense of the body-mind-and spirit and knows how to gently guide the session. She is a true healer, strong spirit and gentle soul. She is a gift.

Sophia's presence in very comfortable to be with. She is an attentive listener and offers very thoughtful insight from her years of experience as an Ayurvedic Practitioner. Sophia is grounded and practical in her recommendations, understanding that successfully changing our behaviors needs to happen in small, realistic steps. Sophia will help you discover a new level of health as you align your lifestyle with the principles of Ayurveda on behavior at a time.

Sophia is very knowledgeable in the Ayurvedic way. She guided me through an Ayurvedic Cleanse with confidence, instruction and loving kindness, following up with me on my journey and answering my questions. I would not hesitate to recommend Sophia for any Ayurvedic questions/instructions.

Sophia is a wealth of knowledge! I know to reach out to her for sound advice on health, wellness, and nutrition. When I recently came down with an upper respiratory infection and the traditional methods of healing weren't working, I sought Sophia's advice on traditonal Ayurvedic practices for healing. She recommended some dietary changes and healing practices that were so effective. The world is in need of these ancient Ayurvedic practices! These are practices that I believe we, as human beings, are craving- ways of healing our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. Hygiene, nutrition, self-care- these are not practices that a typical Western medical doctor hands out, but they should!
This is what Sophia offers, ancient practices to care for oneself in a nurturing and nourishing way. The time is right for people like Sophia to share their knowledge with the world! To that end, I have set up a mini Ayurvedic workshop with Sophia to have her come and share these practices with my family and friends. I want my children to grow up knowing how to care for themselves in body, mind, and spirit. I am so grateful for my wise, dear friend Sophia for sharing her knowledge, love, and passion for these ancient healing practices!

Sophia is a very gentle, caring teacher. She has shown me patience, and explains Ayurveda and Eastern philosophy very clearly. I feel lucky to have found her.

Finding Sophia has been a light in my dark journey. Through her Ayurvedic teachings and guidance with grace and insight, I have been able to see forward in my life with direction and hope. Sometimes what you think is the source of your imbalance turns out to be entirely different. She is masterful at showing you a new perspective. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone struggling to find balance.

I have been going to Sophia, on a regular basis, for 20 plus years and have profoundly benefited from her practice. She has helped me through some very challenging physical and emotional periods in my life. With gratitude

I went to see Sophia for Ayurvedic counseling for some chronic health issues that I was unable to remedy myself. By the time I left her studio I had an understanding of why I was in the mess I was in. And I had the beginnings of a road map of what I needed to do to begin healing. I felt as if I was sitting with a lifetime friend who knew me better and cared about me more than anyone. Sophia is everything I have been looking for in a healer, a guide, a teacher. She is amazing! So very grateful Sophia, thank you.

I attended Yoga and Art: A Mother's Day Treat workshop with my mom. It was a lovely, peaceful and healing time to connect with myself and my mom on her special day. Gentle yoga and guided mediations fused with art made for a blissful experience. Sophia is a very talented and unique spirit, full of life, love, and passion for what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking healing pathways to connect more deeply to themselves.

If you want someone who knows the body --both the Western medical map of the body and the Eastern yogic map of the body--and the territory of moving from pain to healing--, then Sophia is can be a wise compassionate guide on that journey for you. She speaks and lives the language of personal growth. For decades, I have known and loved her, both of which have touched and changed my life towards greater health.

I had them most incredible day during Sophia's all day workshop. She is such a joy, and has such a humbling, and calming presence. I went with some friends not knowing what to expect, and really was presently surprised. Thank you for being you, and doing what you do.

My wife Karen and I have separately been going to Sophia for massage on a regular basis for quite a number of years. Sophia is an extraordinary massage therapist who has studied and masterfully incorporated a number of different treatment modalities into her sessions while integrating a vast wealth of knowledge of the human body, it's structures and muscles. Sophia knows how to address very specific injuries or problems which may require a particular approach, while at the same time providing a truly relaxing experience that leaves you recharged and energized. Quite frankly, my wife Karen could not have continued to perform her work as a dental hygienist without the benefits of her regular massage sessions with Sophia. The past couple of years after I experienced a health event and my physician strongly recommended that I try yoga, Karen and I began taking yoga classes together with Sophia. Honestly, for me this has been nothing less than a revelation. Sophia's yoga classes beautifully integrate stretching, exercise and mediation and, in so many ways, I feel I have benefited greatly. Karen and I in fact look forward to our "yoga date night" and often have remarked how it has become such an indispensable part of both our weeks.

Sophia was very attentive and knowledgable with many years of experience with body work and Ayurveda. I had specific areas that I wanted to focus on and she attended to each one during the massage. The studio was was quiet, clean and by the end I felt like I had melted into the massage table, very comforting and relaxing!
