Sophie. You changed my life. The work we've been doing together has really taught me to not be so afraid of how my body is responding to stress, and how to give it what it needs. Thank you.

Sophie is great! Intuitive, knows several massage modalities. Definitely book a session, your body will be happy you did!

Sofie is a truly amazing, she really knows the body. She knows how to cater to the individual needs of each person. From someone who just wants a relaxing massage to someone with a serious injury that needs therapeutic work. She has greatly helped me before with some serious pain issues from a broken ankle. I wish I could have her help me everyday on it! You can put your trust in her to make you feel safe and taken care of to the level you need. She is a force of good in the world, sure could use a lot more people as passionate and caring as her. BOOK her NOW! Serious ❤️

There aren't enough words to describe the sheer amazingness of my first-ever Thai Massage experience with Sophie at Bloom Bodywork Co! She has over a decade of clinical experience, and made me feel so safe and relaxed, walking me through every step of the process. I left the appointment feeling calmly energized- deeply grounded yet lighter than air. I regained mobility from a recent injury due in large part to this incredible massage experience. I seriously wish everyone I know could be treated by Sophie. I can't wait for my next appointment!!!

Can't recommend this place enough! Sophie offers such an incredible mind-body healing experience. No other practitioner I've seen has been so acutely aware and knowledgeable of how traumatic experiences and emotions show up in the body. I appreciate her consent-based and holistic approach to this practice. She has been a vital support in my healing journey and has a true gift for this work!


Feb 05, 2024

I have been visiting Sophie regularly for Thai Massages - her sessions are always completely restorative and help me to reset. It can be difficult to find the right therapist for your needs but she always hits the mark ! She is attentive, asks questions to get a read on what I’m needing and provides insight at the end as to what I could do at home to maintain the benefits of bodywork. Also the ambiance in her space relaxes me even before I lay down on her mat. Highly recommend booking with her !


Feb 05, 2024

I went in for massage for carpal tunnel, neck and back pain. Sophie addressed these and did full body work for balance. I've had Thai massage in different countries and she is the best practitioner I've met in the US. Her movements are slow, patient, and strong. She intuitively understands how to apply the principles and techniques of Thai massage for a healing and therapeutic session. I felt great and look forward to the next one!


Feb 05, 2024

I’ve seen Sophie for bodywork for over a decade now! She is an excellent massage therapist. Her level of experience and care are very obvious when you get work done by her. Great communication, both verbally with the mind and physically with the body. She is trustworthy and compassionate. 10/10 book with her!


Feb 05, 2024

My first time trying Thai massage with Sophie and I feel like melted butter. Felt so comfortable in her presence. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve posture, mobility, loosen tight muscles, etc. Healing hands like hers are a rare blessing. Thank you thank you

A life changer.


Feb 05, 2023

After moving to the area I needed to find a new massage therapist. As soon as I arrived Sophie welcomed me into the space. She made me feel comfortable and really listened when I talked about how sore and in pain I was. I walked out feeling better than I have felt in months. I am really happy to have found a massage therapist that really listened to what I was hoping to achieve from the session and for future sessions created me a plan to help me accomplish my over all goals.


Feb 05, 2023

Great massage. I got two hours of massage with compresses, cupping and scraping. The Thai massage technique included lots of assisted stretching and deep tissue work, it really helped loosen some tightness I’ve been unable to work out on my own. The cupping felt really good while she was doing it but it did leave marks (which I expected and are fading after a couple days) The scraping was new to me, it was really nice on my lower back where I have scar tissue and around my arms and lymph areas. The compress smelled amazing and she used the heat of it to get my muscles to relax. All together a calming and invigorating session. Thanks for working on me


Feb 05, 2023

I highly recommend Sophie at True Bleu. Booking an appointment was easy, the space is peaceful, and Sophie is very knowledgeable and approachable. This was my first time receiving Thai massage but I already noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms. I definitely recommend adding gua sha as well.


Feb 05, 2023

I truly appreciate the thoughtful attention Sophie gave the session! Every minute of the Thai massage was fantastic, and I was delighted by the alleviation of tension that lasted well into the days afterwards.


Feb 05, 2023

It was an absolute pleasure to receive Thai Massage from Sophie. She is very knowledgeable, and extremely talented. She performs traditional Thai stretching massage with perfect rhythm and pressure. I felt the tension leaving my body, and my posture realigning. Aches and pains that lasted weeks, suddenly gone. I left feeling lighter and taller. My husband also commented my skin tone had more color, undoubtedly from all the fresh oxygenated blood that Sophie’s massage distributed throughout my body. Thank you Sophie!!!!


Feb 05, 2023

I’ve been getting massage therapy for over 30 years, and Sophie is by far the best massage therapist I’ve ever gone to. She truly has a gift for massage. On top of that, she is a creative, intuitive, caring, and generous person, and those qualities come through in her work. In 10 years of regular massage therapy with her, I’ve never had the same massage twice. She has a huge reservoir of knowledge and skills, and she draws from it to address your exact situation on any given day. Portlanders, my advice would be to get on her schedule now because it won’t take long before it’s all filled up!


Feb 05, 2023

Overall such a wonderful experience! Can't wait to go back


Feb 05, 2023

Sophia is great. She’s a really talented massage therapist who is interested in getting to know and help you. I stopped in at her place for a massage this past weekend and left feeling quite a bit lighter and more relaxed. Next time I’m interested in trying more Thai massage which she mentioned might be good for me.


Feb 05, 2023

Sophie was responsive and thorough. A true professional. She began by finding out the issues that i’ve dealt with and began working them out. She exceeded my expectations. She left me feeling limber and lighter physically and more prepared to face the intensely physical tasks that make up daily life.


Feb 05, 2023

This was my fist massage ever and I was uneasy to start with. Sophie walked me through what she was going to do, making sure I was comfortable before she began. The massage itself was amazing. She worked muscles I didn't even know I had. My back and shoulders haven't felt this good in years.


Feb 05, 2022

Every time I have received massage here has been a healing experience. As someone that struggles with chronic body pain, I recommend True Bleu for relaxation and pain management.


Feb 05, 2022

Extremely compassionate about what YOUR needs are. Her setting is professional yet extremely calming. I have literally fallen asleep & awoken a new being. Thank you!


Feb 05, 2022

I came to True Bleu in search of a therapeutic massage for neck and low back pain. Sophie did a thorough assessment and we discussed her recommendations and came up with a treatment plan that addressed all my concerns. The massage and her expertise, caring, and professionalism made me feel safe and secure. I recommend Sophie. Prior to each massage we talked about how I was feeling and each session addressed my needs at that time. My experience has been a great one. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Five stars isn’t enough. She’s a ten.


Feb 05, 2022

I can't say enough about Sophie and True Bleu! Sophie delivers a masterful massage and provides a lovely, safe and healing atmosphere at True Bleu. Sophie is trained in multiple modalities so is able to tailor her approach to what I need at a given time. She is professional, respectful, genuine and compassionate. Absolutely 10/10.


Feb 05, 2022

I have been fortunate enough to experience the professionalism, expertise, and amazing therapeutic relief from Sophie at True Bleu. She is an amazing massage therapist and truly cares about her clients. I cannot recommend her enough.


Feb 05, 2022

I have been going to Sophie for massage therapy for 7 years and her skill set, knowledge, and depth of understanding is unmatched! I have worked alongside and received massage from dozens of therapists, and I will always recommend Sophie! She listens carefully to what my needs are and is always caring and supportive in our sessions. Her ability to offer effective healing modalities while also making the session relaxing and comforting is amazing. I am so grateful for her work and support as a therapist.


Feb 05, 2022

I have never had better body work than with Sophie, hands down. She has a magical touch, creates a safe, comfortable space, and genuinely cares about her clients. Her extensive knowledge of anatomy also allows her to provide helpful recommendations for me outside of our sessions. Can’t recommend her enough!


Feb 05, 2022

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experiences with Sophie. She is kind and friendly and an excellent communicator. I always feel both physically and emotionally safe, comfortable, and nurtured by her and her work. 10/10


Feb 05, 2022

I received a 90 minute Thai massage from Sophie, and am so glad I met her. She has both strong and confident technique as well as a healer's manner - gentle, aware, in tune, reassuring, communicative - all in the right measures. Portland is lucky she fell in love with her enough to call this her home. 🙏🏼😎


Feb 05, 2022

I was lucky enough to meet Sophia and let me tell you! If you are looking for a truly relaxing and healing experience this is the place. Sophia is not only uniquely trained in her Thai massage techniques, she’s a wonderful human with a kind soul. Her attention to detail and listening to what I feel is happening to my body made for a relaxing and individualized experience. I went in stiff and sore and left feeling GREAT thanks to the healing hands of Sophia at True Bleu healing!


Feb 05, 2022

OMG!! A lifechanging massage. I have had both table and Thai massage from Sophie, and now I'll be comparing all future massages to these experiences. There is no going back, or elsewhere! Sophie has introduced me to a new kind of body therapy through going to her. I'm not the type of person to leave reviews, but this is hands down crème of the crop, and I will scream it from mountaintops. You will get 2000% more than what you expected from seeking sessions here!


Feb 05, 2022

Sophie is an excellent therapist. I’ve received both table and Thai massage from her and have always left with the comfort and relief I needed. Her space is soothing, her touch like magic, and her skill and experience come through beautifully every time. For a consistently wonderful massage, I can’t recommend Sophie highly enough.
