I visited Sophia today after finding her through a google search and one thing I have to say is "wow." When the door was opened, I was warmly greeted and and escorted to the bathroom -- due to covid -- and then the massage room. Upon entering the residence, the space is pristinely clean, organized, and spacious -- a really inviting environment. The bathroom that is utilized to clean you hands upon arrival is no different.
Sophia unrushingly interviews you to get an idea on what your concerns and needs are, while understanding how she can approach your concerns with her skillset, respectively. This really shows how Sophia takes quite an individualized holistic approach towards her customers, which is a highly valued trait in the service industry. I simply have no complaints.
With regards to the massage, it was absolutely amazing, relaxing, and refreshing. I have been receiving massages for an extended period of time, and she is a highly skilled, educated, and passionate massage therapist. I am also not one to praise others, so I am being genuine here.
The massage was followed by a debriefing on concerns she thought I should focus on to improve my overall health and tension in my body, and how to do so. Which is very helpful for the individuals that cannot consistently visit a massage therapist.
To conclude, Sophia Burdett is the best massage therapist I have experienced in NYC, and I definitely intend on visiting her again. I feel tranquil post-massage as I write this review right now.

Read moreIt would not be an overstatement to say that Sophia is the BEST massage therapist I've ever been to, hands down. She is intuitive, communicative, and professional, and it is clear that she is very passionate about her practice. Her massage space is pristine, inviting, and peaceful. She sets a relaxing tone throughout the whole process, complete with perfectly-appointed music, fresh linens, and a selection of scented oils.
I have many problem areas on my body and whenever I have a question about her process or what could be creating the problem, she has a knowledgable and thorough answer. It gives me the confidence that I am in great hands (literally) when I am on her table. She always works with the perfect amount of pressure to really dig into my problem areas, and I always feel relieved and open afterwards.
At the end of each session, she always has recommendations for self-care and tips on how to prevent the same problems on my body from arising in the future. She stands out as a massage therapist because when you visit her, you know that she is invested in your progress. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, seasoned, and skilled massage therapist, look no further. I can confidently say that I, for one, will never be able to go another massage therapist after being a client...

She clearly takes pride in maintaining a healthy work environment and cares about protecting her clients. I feel very comfortable being under her care and can't wait to continue with her!
I had the pleasure of receiving prenatal massages from Sophia. She is skillfully trained in a variety of techniques and is very careful to assess your needs before beginning each session. Sophia made sure I was comfortable during each session, adjusting her techniques as needed throughout my pregnancy. The relief felt for days after each session is completely worth the time and money spent. Although I haven't had the chance yet I can't wait to go back to Sophia for my...
