Thai Massage

MJ Piche, RN
I was having neck, shoulder, and low back pain for which I had received many other comparable type treatments. Although I would get some relief from these alternative modalities, I was in a constant search for something that would give me more permanent lasting relief. Little did I know that my experience of Thai Massage with Sophie would be the journey to wholeness both physically, emotionally and spiritually, that I was looking for.

Sophie greets you with her kind and humble presence in her warm, welcoming space. She takes great care in making you comfortable with blankets and pillows. She quickly assesses how far she can take you physically with her treatment and then begins a dance like flow of movements using acupressure and stretching. She has the capacity to emanate Bodhisattva compassion.

Sophie creates and facilitates an environment in which transformation can take place in mind, body and spirit through the application of this ancient treatment called Thai Massage.

Thank you Sophie from my heart to yours. I continue to see Sophie whenever I feel I need a treatment and have wholeheartedly recommended her to family and friends.


Dr. Gregory Reid
I am a massage therapist's challenge: an aging and tightening tennis player who works on computers with all the various associated maladies: shoulder, arm, ankle's etc. Sophie works magic on these. Her deep relaxation and integrated mind-body approach, is wonderful and exceptionally powerful. Sophie Hawkins’ background as Yoga instructor, artist and counsellor all connect in her unique, imaginative and wonderful approach to Thai Massage.



Yoga Classes

Mala Costello
Love the class and the atmosphere. A very enjoyable and nurturing experience. I find your voice soothing and your manner non-invasive. A positive experience.


Marina Torrens, Special Education Teacher
I’ve learned a lot about the breath and have incorporated bringing awareness to the breath far more that I knew how to do before coming to your class. Your warm and safe room was a haven during the many frigid nights of winter. Thank you for your own personal warmth and friendship. Learning about keeping awareness right here in the body has been an important and wonderful teaching for me. Thank you.


Juliana Aconito, University Student
I enjoy the classes very much. Being a student is stressful and this class is an excellent idea for someone who lives a busy life, although I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Sophie is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She has helped me realize the importance of taking time for relaxation for a better state of mind. Thank you very much, Sophie.


Meloney Akiwenzie-Lisk, Mental Health Worker
The Yoga classes were great. I really enjoyed the tips and handouts that you shared in class. I enjoyed mediation as I am always going even when I am just sitting. I have recommended your yoga class to a number of people. In terms of your studio.... it’s awesome, comfortable and relaxing.

Sophie gave clear concise instructions regarding technique and posture. Coming away from this workshop, I believe I possess a better understanding of how beneficial Thai Massage can be, a greater knowledge of touch and feeling of other people’s internal flows and a better conception of my own body’s internal state. Thanks Sophie!


Peter McCarter, Composer/Musician
Sophie is a wonderfully calm, compassionate and superbly competent teacher. Her warmth and patience make for a wonderful learning environment.
