Biography
Sophia trained in Auckland and spent her first four years working in a physiotherapy clinic, which is where she learned to listen to a body rather than follow a routine. She moved into spa work in 2018 and joined Aurelia in 2021.
She is the therapist guests ask for when they want to be worked on properly but not battered — firm through the shoulders, patient at the neck, and unfailingly quiet unless you start the conversation. She also runs our therapist training days.

In Her Words
“The best sessions are the ones where I say almost nothing. If someone falls asleep on my table, I have done my job.”
