www.sophiehobruecker.com • My treatments are often slow, strong and sporty, and your massage will be tailored to your current needs and mood. It can range from a focused, dynamic session with informative dialogue to a soothing reset for your nervous system. I integrate a variety of modalities including deep tissue and Swedish massage therapy, trigger point therapy, passive and active stretching, myofascial release therapy, dynamic release, breathwork and body awareness cues, as well as joint mobilizations into fundamentally relaxing treatments. My approach to massage is positively client-centered. I strive to create a safe, collaborative treatment space where you can reconnect with yourself: your involvement in some techniques encourages you to uncover, question, and challenge your functional or psychological limitations. Outside of the treatment room, I like to read, get eight hours of sleep, write postcards, and eat pastries from Livia. I love to move: yoga brings me community, breath and space; hiking supports my perseverance, my wide-eyed wonder, and a responsible relationship to both safety and risk; and decades of soccer have developed in me a sweet sense of teamwork, the hunger for success, and the patience and curiosity bound in injury and recovery. Every day, I endeavor to strengthen my relationship with rest. I am a Registered Massage Therapist in good standing with the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia. I graduated from the 3,000-hour massage therapy program at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy where my academic distinction was recognized with the Dean’s list honours. I was awarded with the college’s Heart Award for my integrity, compassion, and dedication to the profession’s community.
