Meet Sophia Valeri,
Licensed Massage Therapist
As a former high level athlete, Sophia knows what it feels like for the body to take a hard beating. With her extensive knowledge on stretching the body and the amazing benefits that come with it, she looks to incorporate stretching into both her personal practice, as well as her bodywork, as much as she can. She studied massage therapy at Lourdes Institute of Holistic Studies in Camden, NJ, and got her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Temple University. She is well versed in anatomy and physiology, and truly understands how everything within the body is connected.
Sophia has been certified in Cupping and Gua Sha, as well as Sports Massage, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage, with plans to continue to learn and grow as a bodyworker, so that she may continue to help as many people as possible.
Sophia’s biggest goal for her clients is to enable them to continue working on themselves on their own at home. She likes to provide simple and effective corrective muscle exercises and stretches to complement the work she does with you on the table.
