She believes that most injuries or problems occur because connective tissue (myofascia) is tight and restricts range of motion and flexibility of muscle and joints; therefore, connective tissue work and stretching are a must with her massage.

Sophia enjoys hiking, walking on the beach with her dog Coco, spinning, yoga, and everything outdoors!
