“Feeling confident and being comfortable in your skin... that's what really makes people beautiful.”

Sonia recently celebrated 19 years as a member in good standing with the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada. A seasoned 2200hr therapist, her career has taken her from Jasper, AB; working in the town’s physiotherapy clinic and high end spas, to practicing alongside some of Calgary’s best chiropractors and physios.

 

She trained at Foothills College of Massage and has treated a range of folks over the years; from elite athletes, to senior stroke victims, to infants. Early on she chose to focus her energies on specializing in head injuries, concussions, TMJD, migraines and chronic headaches, developing a detailed approach to treating the structures of the neck, head, jaw and face.

 

A mother of two herself, she has a deep passion for pre/postnatal treatment, working to help people spend their pregnancies as comfortable as possible, while also teaching and encouraging self care before and after delivery.

 

Working more and more with children and teens, Sonia knows the impact massage can have on their understanding of their own bodies and health. It can be a safe environment to subtly teach a child how to advocate for themselves, how important it is to take care of themselves, and that what happens to their body is their choice.

 

An LGBTQ+ & BIPOC ally, inclusivity is at the heart of her work, and she wants to acknowledge that ALL bodies are deserving of care and welcome on her table. 
Sonia loves being a part of each client’s unique wellness journey, and she’s excited to be a member of the Richmond team!
