Hi, I’m Sofi, owner and manager of Healing Hands Chinese Therapy.
If you’re visiting this page, you’re likely tired of that nagging ache in your shoulders, the tension headaches after a long day, or simply feeling 'out of sync.
'At Healing Hands Selby, I’m here to tell you that you don't have to just 'live with it.'
I don't believe in generic, one-size-fits-all massages. Whether you are a busy professional, a parent on the go, or recovering from an injury, I provide a path back to feeling like yourself again. My sanctuary on New Street is designed for one thing: your recovery.
Step inside, leave the bustle of Selby behind, and let’s get you moving freely again."Meet Sofi: 20 Years of Mastery in Healing Hands:
With over 20 years of experience in traditional Chinese therapy, I have spent two decades refining the art of Tui Na and complementary healing. My journey began with a fascination for how the body stores stress—and how, with the right touch, it can be released.
Why you can trust your health to my hands? After two decades and thousands of sessions, my hands have developed an intuition for where tension hides. I often find the source of your discomfort before you even point it out. Whether it’s a deep-seated knot or a blockage in your natural energy flow, I have spent my career learning how to resolve it safely and effectively.
