Sophie joined the Vanbrugh Physio team in 2022. She initially started training in beauty therapy, but pivoted to massage therapy and has been practising since 2015. It was her growing interest in the anatomy of the body that led her to pursue further training in a variety of massage techniques and from that point forward, she never looked back.
A deeply personal experience in 2020 strengthened her commitment to massage therapy. When her beloved grandmother suffered a stroke and lost sensation on her right side, Sophie would gently work on her grandmother’s legs and feet using soft tissue techniques. During these moments, she witnessed her grandmother’s eyes light up, seeming to emerge from the fog of her condition. Seeing her grandmother more at ease and visibly comforted left a lasting impact. It reinforced just how powerful therapeutic touch can enhance someone’s quality of life.
Today, Sophie continues to bring that same compassion and purpose to her practice. She is passionate about building strong connections with her clients and takes great pride in supporting their health and wellbeing goals. She is thrilled to be part of the Vanbrugh Physio team, working alongside dedicated colleagues who share her commitment to care and excellence.
An interesting fact no one would know:
Sophie is half Turkish and has an Irish and Welsh background. She also has a background in musical theatre and was once in a Bollywood film.

“I first went to Sophie around 2 years ago, I had heard through a friend that she was really good. I suffer with fibromyalgia and arthritis and can be in considerable amounts of pain.
On my first meeting with Sophie, I explained my problems and my most troublesome areas (back, shoulder and legs) Sophie explained that she would work slowly and gently on these areas, she was super informative and sensitive to my condition, I have had numerous massages done by Sophie each time leaving me feeling such relief and able to move muscles that are normally so sore and tight. I could not recommend Sophie enough, she is caring, understanding and amazing at what she does.”
