“Vitality! A life without health is like a river without water.” - Maxime Lagace
My therapeutic massage style is a blend of restorative Swedish techniques, Deep Tissue, MyoFascial Release (MFR), Muscle Energy Technique (MET), Sports Massage, and elements from Thai, Lomi Lomi, and Shiatsu.

Sonya was amazing! Have never walked away from a massage feeling so much relief and mobility in my most stubborn/painful areas. Love that this is a small and holistic practice - very catered to individual needs and feels very personal. Already looking to book my next appointment!
If you are looking for an outstanding massage therapist, stop looking and book an appointment with Sonya. Every aspect of my recent visit was excellent.
Sonya is a personable and empathetic professional. She is easy to talk with, nonjudgmental, and knowledgeable about her profession. Her massage skills are outstanding and were perfect for my specific needs.
I am delighted with my decision to schedule an appointment at Vitality Bodywork and my session with Sonya.
I look forward to many more visits in the future.
I went to Sonya for spasming and twinging in my left leg which has been chronic. After an hour's session, I felt lighter and my mobility was much improved. I woke up the next morning with no spasming or twinging which has never happened. Her therapy was amazing. I have an increase in energy. What a great therapy session. Her studio was very pleasant and the energy was wonderful. Sonya is a very intuitive and thoughtful therapist who took the time to understand exactly what was going on with me.
Has a great touch! Very informative and offered some follow-up suggestions and links.
Skilled bodywork with a soul sensitive human! Such a pleasure to work with her and to receive from her. Thank you sonya!
Sonya worked with me to target problem areas and I walked out a new man! I look forward to future sessions.
The massage was intense. No energy afterwards. Sleep was okay. Waking up was painful. Needed a cane to walk for a couple of hours. By 3rd hour and 2 Tylenol felt pretty good. By hour 6 was ready to take on the world. Thank you S. Will be back.Marilyn. I do not like the 4 Qs so please ignore the answers. M
Sonya is a conscientious massage therapist, looking out for the benefit of the individual being massaged. I am grateful for her being (kind and helpful) and the extensive experience she brings to the table. 🌟
Sonya made a significant difference on my back pain.
Sonya gave a great treatment with excellent attention to detail from a lovely foot soak and cup of tea at the start to her thoroughly knowledgeable and aware technique on the table. A fine massage overall and very good for a first encounter. Recommend definitely.

I had an amazing massage. I went in with lower back pain and she worked very hard to release my overused, tight muscles. She used many methods (hot stones/cupping, etc.) I'm happy to say the massage was very successful and I'm back to my normal level of mobility and I am pain free. She is very knowledgeable, skilled and caring. I highly recommend Sonya.

Sonya is highly skilled and really intuitive when she approaches bodywork. She seems to automatically know where to go and what needs to be worked on the most at any given time. She will adjust pressure as needed and accommodate you to the best of her ability.
She makes you feel instantly comfortable, like an old friend you haven't seen in awhile but feel like it was just yesterday when you last spoke.
Perhaps adding the option of some essential scented oils during or after the session would be a nice touch, as well as offering a small cup of water when you're all done. Other than that, this was one of the best massages I've experienced, and I've been to many!
I can't recommend Sonya highly enough, and I do this with trepidation, as it may be tougher to get an appointment to see her now. :)
I've already booked more sessions, and I look forward to further relief from the aches and pains my body holds.
Thank you for being there for us Sonya! We are lucky to have you on the Island!

Definitely the place to go when your body is feeling broken. Sonya listened carefully to what was going on with my body and then used an amazing combination of hot rocks, massage, and different stretches to make me feel like I had a new body. Definitely coming back!

Excellent massage with Sonya. She did a thorough intake as feet were soaking in Epsom salt, great way to warm up and settle. She was attentive and carefully listened as I explained areas that were tight and tense. Excellent technique, she is very intuitive and very thorough and after 90 minutes I floated out of the office. Already booked my next session.

Sonya combines thorough, specific attention to professional assessing and treating my injuries from an auto accident, with empathy, humor, and “extras” like epsom salt foot baths, warm washcloths over my eyes, and utilizing hot stones as standard care. She really listens and works diligently and effectively to relieve the painful damage to three different areas of my body. She normally goes above and beyond to provide high quality massage therapy. I feel lucky that found her here on Bainbridge Island.
