Sofia is very knowledgeable professional. I never used reflexology seeds in my life, before I met Sofia. It was my very first experience to try this little seeds for my long continuous headache. I was actually amazed that it worked so well! It worked immediately. The very next day my headache was 80% gone, and the day after completely gone. I had these seeds for 5 days and then they fell off by themselves. I can honestly confirm: it worked for me 100%! Thank you, Sofia! read more

Sofia is Amazing in every way! Sofia's intuition as to what's going on with your body is unbelievable, she just knows ! I highly Recommend Sofia and the best of it is her prices are so reasonable . Thanks for all Sofia !!! read more

Sofia is amazing. I've been doing reflexology for my feet and face, and even though it's not considered a massage, "the foot massage and the facial" are like nothing I've ever experienced before. Sofia is extremely knowledgeable and she takes good complete care of her clients. She's caring and giving, has a custom plan for everyone and really wants to do the best for everyone she sees. Highly recommending! read more

I felt like layers were being uncovered in a calm, almost subtle way. There was nothing overwhelming or forced about the process. Instead, it felt safe- like my body was finally given permission to release what it had been holding onto for so long. Afterward, I felt lighter- not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. It was a quiet reset allowing the body to process and let go. I recommend for anyone who is a comic or actor to open up creatively and emotionally in a powerful way. I you been feeling stuck, weighed down, or disconnected, I'd definitely reccomend a session with Sofia. -Marie Augustina Torres read more

For the last 5 years I had a crippling anxiety, was unable to live without beta blockers and weed, and my period stopped - wasn't able to get it back on even on birth control. My belly was always bloated but not from gas, starting age 13. The female "pouch" went away after the second session. It was so bad at times that I looked like a 5-mos pregnant. Sofia was able to take away that. My period started on day 10 after doing the work. I've never heard about Emotion Code/Body Code/GEM prior to this experience. It's a miracle, if you ask me.. I stopped smoking weed because I'm able to breathe after the first session. I thought it was a temporary thing but I still don't wanna smoke because my breathing reflex is back and there's no "edge" that needs to be taken off... I went off all my medications including antidepressants after the first session, and my energy now is of a teenager, 10/10. I'm very grateful. Been recommending to all my friends ever since this happened to me. Truly amazing.. read more

i was blessed to meet a wonderful woman named Sofia who does body code emotion code, belief code. I was suffering very bad with ear pain, lack of energy, irritation, anxiety, Sleep issues. She helped me so much that my issues are almost unnoticeable. I highly recommend her to anyone.;) read more

Sofia was wonderful and incredibly intuitive as to where my pain was located. This was my first reflexology treatment so I didn't know what to expect. It's odd to have your toe or finger massages and feel it in your leg but that's exactly what it's like. I was a bit concerned during the session that I'd be in pain afterwards but I don't feel any pain 4 hours later I will definitely revisit her for more treatments. read more

I had 5 sessions with Sophia in total, each of them have been great and I always left looking forward to the next one! It was pampering with purpose - I went to Sophia mainly to help treat my sleeping problem and not only could she treat my feet and explain what she found, but she also had so much more information, ideas and suggestions that I found so useful and immediately made the necessary changes to my lifestyle. I found the experience very interesting and relaxing and feel like I've made progress with my ailments, as a result of Sophia treatments and knowledge. read more

Sofia helped me with emotional code and getting inspired to start working on my small business again! i love how professional and passionate she was about my problems and how fast she responded and took care of it. I will definitely be back for more sessions to love and to work on myself! Definitely recommend her services to others! Thank You! read more

Sofia is amazing, she knows exactly what to do, the sessions are relaxing & very healing at the same time. I love getting my helpful recommendation email from her after my session full of suggestions. Thank you for a great experience. Ani read more

I don't usually do reviews on Yelp, but when I do, it's because I am astonished at how great something or someone is! I am so grateful I was referred to Sofia! She is a truly gifted healer! I have seen her several times for different ailments and issues. Everytime I see her, she is able to help me recover from whatever pain, injury, digestive issue, illness (including asthma and bronchitis) or emotional issue (including grief) and she restores my energy like a reset button. I have visited many Medical doctors, chiropractors, acupunturists and specialists over my lifetime and there are VERY FEW that have methods that have actually helped. The combination and versatile methods Sofia uses allows her to customize a specific treatment for my needs which are different every session. She is very insightful about what I need. She always asks me what I would like her to focus on before we start each session and during the session discovers something I needed even more than what I tell her! Since meeting Sofia, I have tried some aruveydic products for the first time in my life and I love them! In addition to the holistic healing sessions, Sofia incorporates the use of aromatherapy, essential oils, lotions, and ayurvedic topical treatments. I have learned so much from her already...she continuously teaches me the right foods specifically for my body and my digestive issues! Sofia always follows up to see how I'm feeling after every treatment and offers her help anytime I ask. She's never too busy to text me back, always listens very attentively when we speak and makes excellent recommendations for at-home treatments. I highly recommend her to any of my friends and family and anyone else who will listen (Or read)!!!! read more

Late last night, I was feeling very stressed and exhausted. I saw Sofia in her area at Whole Foods, and I asked if she had time after she was done working on the lady she was with. Ten minutes later, I was able to spend time with her. She is a great listener and she has magic in her hands. I felt so much better afterwards and I can't wait to see her again. She followed up with a text this morning to see how I was doing and an email with some instructions for me to follow. How terrific is that! Reasonable prices and the way the dividers are set up, it feels like you are whisked away to another place. read more

I had my first reflexology session recently and wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't have and serious issues and Sofia discussed with me a little about my stress and digestion. During the first session I defintely noticed where I was having issues dealing with digestion. Sofia worked effectively, carefully, and always made sure I was comfortable. After the session I couldn't believe how I felt. It was almost a loopy relaxed feeling! My patients were shocked for the rest of the day at how relaxed I looked compared to normal. During my follow up we were able to check back and see how much improvement there was in just over a few days after the first session. There was much less tenderness and I felt much better. I would highly recommend Sofia for her professionalism as well as her very calm and caring manner. read more

I have been going to Sofia almost once a month for the last four years. She has amazing hands and can sense your energy and negative energy to give you the best Reflexology massage experience possible. Sofia is a true professional and master of her craft. Sofia is easy to talk to and helped me with my Frozen Shoulder Syndrome by giving me advice to spend sometimes at the beach once a week. I definitely recommend her reflexology massage, especially if you have any ongoing issues. read more

I love going to see Sofia for my monthly reflexology sessions! She is so dedicated to helping others and is constantly sharing new techniques during our visits. She is a great listener and I really appreciate her following up after our sessions by sending video links, tips, etc. to help me gain a better understanding of what we worked on during our appointment. I highly recommend Sofia! read more

If I could give 10 stars to Sofia I would because she passionate and gifted as a healer. She custom makes a treatment specific for the issue you're currently having .she also does a follow up with you and recommends amazing things that one can try to help with healthy well being. I feel like a new person every time I go for a reflexology session and always come out more knowledgeable about my body and about health and wellness . Thank you very much Sofia for your healing hands and wisdom! Blessings read more

Sofia is a very special lady with a great gift for healing. I don't come across many genuine healers but this lady is one of the best. As a healer my self I'm always looking for someone that can do what I can. And fortunately I found Sofia. Give your self a treat and by having her work her magic on you. You will not be sorry. read more

6 weeks after my car accident I was suffering from whiplash. I was having weekly massages and regular osteopathic adjustments but there was still a deep muscular strain type pain that I thought only time could heal. Then I had a session w Sofia. She massaged points in my ears and hands that were so painful I almost leapt out of my chair. But then I felt so much relief from my neck pain! She also gave me instructions to massage those points everyday. That was yesterday. This morning I woke w a stiff neck. I massaged those points all day just as she instructed and have had considerable relief again. Thanks Sofia! I'm a believer! read more

Sofia is a wonderful & caring practitioner who gives 150% to her clients! She is constantly researching new techniques & taking courses to further her education which deepens my confidence level in what she does. I love the way I feel while getting treatment & beyond! The relaxing after effects carry me through my week to help with stress & aches & pains. I highly recommend Sofia! read more

Sofia is a lifesaver. I had my wisdom teeth removed and was in such immense pain that my mom recommended I see her. After one session, the pain subsided the day after. She recommended me return a few days later, and sure enough everything was starting to heal properly. My body is starting to feel normal again. Thank you so much! read more

Before I met Sofia, I had headaches, back aches, and low energy- and just couldn't understand why. I met Sofia at a stressful point in my professional and personal life. Sofia was able to heal my headaches, back aches and I had so much more energy to conquer different challenges. She was also able to reduce the size of my swollen lymph nodes- something I had spent almost 3 months in doctor's offices trying to get rid of. She was able to do this in less than 6 sessions. She also was patient enough to explain to me what she was doing and gave me easy exercises for me to sustain the work she would do in session. Her location is super convenient because who doesn't need to go to the supermarket once a week anyway? read more

I invited Sofia to speak about Ayurveda a number of times in my graduate psychopharmacology class for future counselors/psychotherapists. Sofia has a unique way of delivering complex information in a warm & passionate way.  Her wonderful sense of humor helped to create instant connection with students. It was clear from the very beginning that Sofia is an expert in Ayurveda and wants to make sure that everyone else is touched by the wisdom and beauty of this ancient science. Not only did Sofia deliver information in a clear and focused manner, but she also  engaged all of us in a meaningful self-healing exercises that made a valuable point - Ayurveda works! Thank you, Sofia, for your wisdom, expertise and genuine warmth that tells us that you are a true healer and teacher. read more

Even with a ten minute reflexology session, I had a huge release, and came back the next day for another treatment, this time for a longer session. Not only was I relaxed and completely invigorated, and pretty much pain-free, I let go of some deeply seated holding and feel much much lighter today! I highly recommend this excellent massage therapist/healer. She knows what she's doing, has excellent insights and recommendations for a whole body experience! read more

Reflexolgy-Facial Marma-Ayurvedic combo from SOFIA is an experience one must get ASAP, since going through lots of stressful family issues and separation on multiple levels, today was absolutely needed for total stress reduction to none. I started with a stress factor of 9 and after my session today with SOFIA's loving healing hands it went down to -1 so now there were smiles and much less wrinkles on my worried face. Thank you so very much and love to you and your amazing practice which is much needed in today's hectic schedules. Be Well to all from S. Gita read more

Sofia loves what she does as an Ear, Hand and Foot Reflexologist and it shows with each and every appointment I have. She is so caring making sure all your symptoms have been addressed before your visit is over. She will teach you techniques to do at home sending you the instructions so you can work on yourself until your next visit. What I love the most is that she is constantly educating herself taking several classes to prefect her skills. I appreciate you Sofia!! read more

I had reflexology many, many years ago and was not totally convinced at the time of its healing properties. When I met Sofia I decided to try a session with her. Wow, she is amazing! Imagine my surprise when after two minutes (yes, two minutes) of her analyzing my feet she was able to tell me about all the imbalances and issues that were happening in my body. She confirmed what I had already known. My session with Sofia was quite relaxing and I was able to release any tension that I was carrying. While massaging my feet I could feel whatever blocked meridians I had open up and feel the energy flow. I especially loved the scalp massage! Sofia is very personable and I felt very comfortable in her hands. She is extremely knowledgeable in reflexology and Ayurveda and has great insight into resolving many health concerns. She takes her time to explain to you what she is doing and is truly invested in your health. Since my experience with Sofia I have felt less pain in my lower back and enhanced digestion. I highly recommend Sofia and look forward to my next session with her. Definitely give her a try. read more

Words can't do justice to how incredible of a healer Sofia is through my 30+ years of experience working with a myriad of outstanding (and some very well known) healers worldwide for my animal rescues and myself. Decades of sleepless nights from working on healing sick, senior and abused animals finally caught up with me and recently some tests revealed my body was shutting down. I was not in a good place mentally, physically or financially due to a number of tragedies that also seemed to be piling on top of each other for 3 years and I was not sure I even wanted to work on reversing the damage my chosen lifestyle/habits had created. I stumbled across Sofia at the Whole Foods in Tarzana and liked the session but was not sure I wanted to return...especially since I also wasn't even sure I wanted to heal! Sofia followed up after our first session via email with more information than I even wanted but that impressed me. We didn't connect again until Sofia very gently reached out to me after the New Year and I decided to return. Her work left such an impact this time that I began seeing her every week and with time, learned that she has an entire smorgasbord of healing modalities she encorporates into her work the more she worked with me. I thought I had experienced close to everything that existed after being very involved in the holistic world for over 30 years but I have learned so many new tricks for healing from Sofia, who has become the most humble and talented healer I have ever encountered. Many people are great at their chosen paths, but after seeing so many things Sofia utilizes in her work and the quick results I encountered with my body turning around from that, I am comfortable saying that I believe she is a hidden jewel on this planet who I hope receives the much deserved recognition that is due to her for her willingness to share her God Given gifts as a healer. There is no arrogance or overcharging with her either, as I have seen with so many other people in the holistic healing world (who are infants in their abilities compared to Sofia). Sofia is a wealth of knowledge and is constantly researching new ways to improve on her already unparalleled work. I think I may even have more faith in her ability to heal than she may have but again, this may be because I have so much to compare her to after over 30 years of seeking out the best of the best worldwide. You will be blessed if Sofia's hands touch your body and if you have a loved one with health issues, I would get them to her immediately regardless of the negative reports so many allopathic doctors use in an attempt to frighten us into drugs and surgeries that do not get to the core of any issue. read more

Sofia was introduced to me as the Emotion&Body Code Practitioner. I was curious to try if she'd help me get rid of my negative emotions. I can't say that I was a complete believer, but I still wanted to try. Why not? It doesn't hurt. After only one session, I noticed improvements in my physical health, some pains were gone, and some disbalances were restored. During our second session, I was more excited and thought maybe she'd help me get rid of my fear of driving. For about five years, I've been experiencing panic attacks during driving on the freeway. I used Zoloft a couple of times to help me deal with anxiety and panic attacks. I had no hope that this fear would ever go away, so I trusted myself to Sofia. Not sure what my expectations were but two days after the session, I drove myself to work. After I made it there, I realized that I made it there without any fear or anxiety. The next time I drove, the feeling of love of driving came back to me so vivid that I was full of excitement that I could do it again. How does it work? I don't know, but I am a true believer now and forever grateful to Sofia. read more

The other week I was having next terrible neck pain, and Sofia was the cure. She gave me an incredible reflexology session, where she worked on my neck but also the points on my hands, feet, and ears that corresponded with the neck. I had been in terrible pain for 3 days and within 1 day my neck was back to normal. Moreover, Sofia truly cares about the wellbeing of her clients in ways that I have never experienced with other reflexologists or massage therapists. Specifically, Sofia sent me via email a number of stretches and exercises that I should due to prevent neck tension in the future. She also suggested some diet changes that have also helped with the pain and overall energy. Sofia is a true gem, and I am sure you will be very happy with your experience with her. I give Sofia my highest recommendation. read more

I am so beyond blessed to have found Ayurvedic insights. I came in with an ankle injury that was giving me chronic pain every day, after a few months of visits, I can say that my ankle feels 90% better. Sofia is very wise, gentle, and caring in providing the best service! I am so grateful for the overall improvements I've been able to achieve with Sofia! You won't regret the visit!

I've been going to Sofia many times for different problems. I love her work and her commitment to educate herself and others.

I loved taking classes with Sofia. She is a wonderful teacher, she teaches with love, kindness, yet she keeps you focused and makes sure you understand everything. Her knowledge of reflexology is profound and I am so glad I found her. Will go back to learn more for sure. read more

My first visit with Sofia was amazing. She provided a wonderful reflexology treatment that left me feeling balanced and energized. Additionally, Sofia followed up with me by email with supplemental support, including a code for my neck, which has been chronically tight. I used the code the next day while at work and felt immediate relief. I continued to use the code daily and have not had any further pain! My follow-up session with Sofia confirmed that my neck was much improved. I love that Sofia works with what is bothering me as well as what she finds through the reflexology. She offers wonderful suggestions as she works. If you have any problems, stop by. If Sofia suggest a code--use it! You will feel better ... :) read more

Just received a WONDERFUL Reflexolgy-Facial Marma-Ayurvedic combo from SOFIA the other day. She was working on my feet, hands, face, head and ears. I felt very comfortable at the whole time, she has a very professional, warm manner. Her touch is gentle yet assertive and I could feel how my energy started to move and circulate by time she was working on certain points and parts of my body. At the end of the session I felt GREAT! Very relaxed and energized at the same time, also noticed a sense of opening which turned into creative energy flow at the end of my day :) I highly recommend Sofia's services to anyone who is open to holistic healing and willing to work on/with his/her body-mind-spirit. THANK YOU Sofia! Also for sending me the 5 Minute Hand excercise for instant energy boost and emotional balance! read more

Sofia is very knowledgeable person. I loved sessions with her. Felt much much better after them. In addition she gives many advices in general. read more

Sofia is the best reflexologist. She is intuitive, smart and caring. She applies the perfect amount of pressure. When you finish a session you feel feel an instant improvement in your overall well being. And the feeling will last for days. ;) read more

I had my first reflexology session ever- by accident! ( well OK- nothing is REALLY ever by "accident" now is it?) I really wanted a neck and shoulder massage and ended up having reflexology with Sofia- I was amazed at the things she determined about my health from touching my ears hands and feet! I was able to feel release as she was working. The following day I did experience a "healing crisis" as it is called- I was achy, and extremely tired all day-after work I went home and slept for 12 hours!!!! I discovered that it was only the toxins moving out of my body. 2 days later I felt terrific. I look forward to more healing sessions with Sofia! read more

Sofia is the best, this session was really amazing and she added a lot of extra knowledge to it coming from all the things she knows and learned, I got more than reflexology :) She also does a great follow up and gives you a lot of advice and she really cares about making you feel better. I had refelxology in other places before but now I will only go to Sofia! read more

Sofia is worth a visit when you go to the Tarzana Whole Foods on Ventura Blvd. I wanted to try reflexology and had already heard great testimonials about her so I went yesterday afternoon and was really satisfied. Sofia gave me some great tips to stay healthy as well as point out some things I could do at home. Her massage of the scalp was truly relaxing and was a real treat. I feel really good this morning, very energized but yet relaxed. I also slept very well last night! I feel very good about recommending her to anyone, whether you need help from pain of some sort or you just want to treat yourself to some relaxation. It is worth it! read more

I first started going to Sonia over a year ago, due to numerous issues, including trying to recover from a surgery, plantar fasciitis, and neck/back pain. The very first session, my symptoms were relieved by 90%, and the second session resulted in 100% total relief. It never even occurred to me that reflexology could do that! I've had reflexology before, but never had the anything that came close to the depth of experience I have received with Sonia. She is amazing, and I continue to go to her, because it works! She explains everything to you, makes the experience very relaxing, and always follows up to make sure you get the best experience possible. I would never go to anyone else! read more
