About

Sophia has been practicing massage therapy for the past 19 years. Her specialty is providing innovative Deep tissue and Sports Massage. She loves her work and is passionate about helping athletes achieve their athletic goals. Sophia loves the challenge of putting together the right customized massage plan for each athlete/client. She has worked with pro basketball, football, hockey, golf. professional stuntmen, pro soccer, baseball, cycle as well as dancers, Pilates, Yoga teachers and Martial Artists. Sophia has trained and practiced over 10 years in martial arts, owned her own martial art/yoga studio. ran the New York Marathon, and trained for the Wildflower triathlon so she knows what it feels like when the body is in intense training and how to help athletes stay on track and reach their goals injury free!

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.

She is also trained in Prenatal massage, Hot stone therapy and loves to incorporate aromatherapy and Thai stretching in her massages at Sacred Splendor.

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

FAQs

Where will my massage session take place?
Your massage session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort.

Must I be completely undressed?
Most massage techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session. If you are receiving a sports massage, it is beneficial to wear workout shorts.

Will the therapist be present when I disrobe?
The therapist will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheets and blanket.

Will I be covered during the session?
You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable.
Only the area being worked on will be exposed.

Are there different kinds of massage?
There are numerous types of massage; various techniques utilize different strokes, including basic rubbing strokes, rocking movement, posture and movement re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. We can discuss which methods may be most appropriate for you.

What should I do during the massage session?
Prior to the massage, feel free to ask the therapist any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the massage, make yourself comfortable. The therapist will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving,
feel free to ask.

How will I feel after the massage session?
Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during a massage, it is recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage.

What are the benefits of massage?
Massage can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. Massage is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being.

Are there any medical conditions that would make massage inadvisable?
Yes. That’s why it’s imperative that, before you begin your session, the therapist asks general health questions. It is very important that you inform the therapist of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor’s care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage or bodywork prior to any session. Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.

Janice B:
Beyond one of the best massages I’ve ever had!!!
First off the room was perfectly cozy, warm, clean, and inviting. All the oils and lotions were vegan and organic so my skin felt incredible after. Not to mention Sophia the masseuse is WONDERFUL and SO accommodating !!! I loved the entire experience and give it an A++!!! Worth every penny! I can’t wait to go back again!

Frank H:
THE BEST MASSAGE I’VE EVER HAD! Sophia is very professional and I was shocked at how great I felt after my first massage with her. My experience was so amazing, that I recently booked my second massage and I plan on going back. I tend to be overly critical of my massage experience. I have often felt cheated in the past by other massage therapists who overcharged for massages that left me feeling the exact same as I did before. With Sophia, your body gets the attention it deserves and you feel like your experience is worth the money you pay. My mind was blown after my first massage when she asked me if I played baseball and had a rotator cuff injury. She was spot on, and it impressed me. She definitely knows what she’s doing. I also recommend the hot stone massage and coconut oil scalp massage. If you are in need of a great massage… Sophia is your therapist!

Steve A:
Amazing Massage! Sophia we fantastic and has a great intuition to find the right places to work on. I have been struggling with an injury and she was extremely helpful to relieve long lasting discomfort. I highly recommend her! You will thoroughly enjoy it!!!

Em B:
Sophia is amazing! She works out of a cozy spot on Main Street that could be a little hard to find if Sophia wasn’t so on top of things. She texted me a detailed description of where her studio was located and where to park. She was so helpful! The massage was great and she uses delicious smelling oils and homemade scrubs. I can’t recommend Sophia enough, she’s so easy to talk to and is such a warm and inviting person. If you want some serious pampering, book an appointment with her!

Alex R:
I booked a massage for my husband’s birthday with Sophia. I did so blindly, mainly due to her high reviews. I’m so happy and relieved that everyone was right! My husband said to me, more than once, that this was the best birthday ever and that his back felt so good!! Sophia is such a sweetheart, after finding out it was his birthday, she threw in a free hand/foot scrub! I highly recommend her. Thank you for relieving my husband’s back pain and making his birthday wonderful!

Samantha:
Sophia is awesome and SUPER nice and provided an experience that went above and beyond my expectations! I say that as someone who’s been to a lot of masseuses, so I have experience to back this up! =) Her studio is located in a cozy, quiet spot in Santa Monica, and she provides a very soothing, relaxing and healing experience. I would HIGHLY recommend the hot stone massage, and, while you’re at it, the coconut oil scalp massage and hand/foot scrub, it’s the best!

JoAnna:
Sophia is doing the work she was sent here to do. I have fibromyalgia which means chronic pain in the muscles and joints. A good massage is like heaven on earth. A bad massage is hell. We worked together which is easy as Sophia is highly intuitive. And it seemed to be so much more than a massage. Sophia has a cozy charming studio off Main Street in Santa Monica. In addition to using hot stones that are warming and comforting, she does a hand and foot scrub and scalp massage using organic high quality products. Besides feeling ever so much better, I felt totally pampered. Sophia is a healer. And I will be returning to her as often as is possible.

Traci S:
I have had many massages from Sophia over the past 5 years, so I feel especially qualified to highly recommend her! I am also trained in massage therapy, so I know quality bodywork when I feel it. Sophia is very intuitive, so she just “knows” where I need more soothing, gentle touch and where I need deeper work. She offers such a great variety of massage therapy modalities from Swedish, Sports, to Deep Tissue, and even does aromatherapy and body scrubs! She’s a very open person, non-judgemental, and easy to talk to. I always feel rejuvenated and incredible after each massage. Simply put, she has a healing touch!

Jennifer:
Sophia is a gem – I had an amazing hot stone massage on my birthday and she treated me so well! The pressure of her massage depends on what you need and I honestly felt the effects of her massage weeks later, which is something I don’t usually get from other places. Truly a gifted, special person = go try her out!

It is more than worth it.

T C.
Heaven on earth. I have been fortunate to have massages at the very best spas all around the world.

Nobody does it better than Sophia. Be prepared to experience the best massage you have ever had.

Sophia is amazing! Whether you want a deep tissue massage, Swedish or some hybrid, she can adapt and make it an hour or two you will want to repeat whenever you can.

Try her once and give her feedback. You will go back again, again, and again.
