After twenty years working in the environmental and fisheries sector, Sophie decided that it was time for a change. She has always found the interconnection between the body and mind fascinating and to deepen her knowledge, she decided to go back to school to become a massage therapist. She is currently a part-time student at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT). Relaxation or stress relief focused, her treatment integrates techniques such as Swedish techniques, myofascial release, and trigger point release. Born and raised in Reunion Island, Sophie moved to Canada in 2013, and settled in Vancouver, making it her new home. While she misses the activities that her island offered, such as surfing, hiking without the fear of meeting a bear, or scuba diving, Sophie is now enjoying the variety of activities that Vancouver has to offer, ranging from yoga, bouldering, cycling, swimming, to sailing. Her next challenge will be to learn cross-country skiing next winter. She is always keen to learn more and integrate her experiences in each of these sports into her bodywork practice.

Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic massage promotes detoxification by enhancing the natural flow of lymphatic fluid, helping the body eliminate waste and toxins more effectively. This gentle and soothing massage technique can reduce swelling and edema, making it a valuable component of post-surgical recovery and injury rehabilitation. Lymphatic massage supports a healthier immune system by improving lymphatic circulation, allowing white blood cells to more efficiently combat infections and illnesses. Individuals experiencing chronic fatigue, stress, or anxiety often find relief through lymphatic massage, as it promotes relaxation and an overall sense of well-being. Athletes and active individuals may benefit from lymphatic massage as it can help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation, aiding in faster recovery after intense physical activities.
