What a wonderful experience, a full body abhyanga with steam. Sonja was very professional and explained how the session would go beforehand. It was so relaxing and nourishing, warm and tingling sensations. I would highly recommend Sonja, this is a fabulous offering for anyone wanting to nourish the nervous system.

I look forward to working with Sonja to get the full holistic benefits from these ancient techniques.” -M. Dunn

The stress and anxiety release Marma Therapy I received was wonderful. I immediately felt lighter in Sonja’s space and surroundings. Appreciated the attention and care of the treatment. The touch was subtle yet penetrating, I could feel my body letting go. Feeling more grounded, centered and I slept all night Thanks so much Sonja you are amazing !
