Facial Reflexologist in Nailsworth, STROUD
About Sophia
For over 25 years, I've dedicated my practice to supporting women's health and wellbeing through natural, holistic therapies. My journey into healing began with Thai Massage, Reflexology and Reiki, but my passion for helping women look and feel their absolute best has led me to explore and master various therapeutic traditions, both ancient and modern.
My journey in holistic therapy has taken me to some of the world's most prestigious wellness destinations. As a specialist practitioner at Soneva Jani in the Maldives, I provided bespoke treatments for an exclusive international clientele, including working with high-profile individuals who value discretion and excellence in therapeutic care.
In the UK, I was a Zone Face Lift practitioner at the renowned Haybarn Spa at Daylesford Organic Farm, known for its exceptional standards and holistic approach to wellbeing. These experiences at premier wellness destinations have enriched my practice, allowing me to develop an intuitive, sophisticated approach that combines various therapeutic techniques.
Over the many years I have been practising, working with a wide range of clients and through my experience working in hospice care, I developed a deep understanding of the healing power of touch and the importance of intuitive, compassionate care. This profound experience continues to influence my practice today, informing my holistic approach to wellbeing.
I'm particularly passionate about combining the ancient therapy of reflexology with other ancient and modern techniques. My training in Gua Sha Mastery with renowned practitioner Ziggie Bergman has allowed me to offer pioneering treatments that unite traditional Chinese healing methods with contemporary facial enhancement techniques. This unique combination allows me to address both aesthetic concerns and deeper wellbeing, helping women feel radiantly healthy at every stage of life.
What truly inspires me is witnessing the profound transformation that occurs when women receive the nurturing support they need, particularly during significant life transitions such as menopause. My approach bridges wellness and beauty, working deeply from the inside out to help women age naturally and confidently.
From my peaceful treatment room in Nailsworth, I create a nurturing space where women can take time for themselves, finding balance and renewal through personalised treatments. Every session includes not just the treatment itself, but also guidance on self-help techniques, empowering you to extend the benefits of our work together into your daily life.
