Sofies Magic Hands

When the spirit moves me I like to see what other Bodyworkers are doing in San Diego. i happened to see an add in Craig’s list for «Sofie’s Magic Hands» massage. I’m generally not attracted to that type of proclamation of having Magic Hands. But on a lark I decided to call and left a message regarding what her rates are and where se was at. I got a call back in a couple of hours, thats a good sign. I can’t tell you how many Therapists don’t bother to call back in a timely manner after I leave a message.
Sofie told me her rates are $ 120 for 90 minutes and $ 80 for an hour and she practices in Chula Vista. She came across as being very professional and having an up beat energy. Something else hit me, she had a very quiet and strong self confidence without being abrupt. Because of prior commitments I had to wait a couple of weeks before I could see her.
I booked a Saturday noon session. I generally like to schedule a two hour session but Sofie assured me that 90 minutes would probably be enough so i went for it. I live downtown so it was a twelve mile twentyfive minute drive for me. For some reason my Droid was acting funny so I couldn’t accurately rely on it to give me directions but it finally did.
I arrived at the address only to find its a building with a few hundred rooms in it. No problem I’ll give her a call on my cell phone (make sure you bring yours when you schedule)
«Hello Sofie its me Jason I’m here for my appointment, where do I go now I’m standing in front of your building?»
«No problem Jason walk towards the main road, on the corner is a delit walk between the deli and a group of plants let me know when you’ve done that»
«Yes I’m here I just walked between the deli and the plants what do I do now?» I said
«Go to the door on your right try it, if its locked type in code #XXX it will let you in. Come up three flights of stairs to Studio XXX» I“m starting to feel like a spy thats being talked in from deep undercover.
I dutifully type in the code that Sofie gave me and the door starts buzzing real loud, kind of like the sound you hear on those prision documentaries on T.V.
I go up three flights of stairs, huffing and puffing. I ring the doorbell and no response. I hear Salso latin music coming from inside-​boom, boom, cha, cha, boom. I’m confused is this the right studio number? I use my cel phone an call Sofie.
«Hello Sofie I’m standing outside your door I think, I just rang your doorbell and no response. are you there?»
«No problem Jason I’ll be right there»
Next thing I know the music stops and the door opens and Sofie appeared.
«Come in Jason»
I stepped in and was impressed with the order and neatness of the studio. Sofie escorted me to her massage room. It was very nice and pleasant again neat and she even had a candle burning.
Sofie instructed me to get on the table face down while she washed her hands.
One thing I noticed was that Sofie had Jaxx on a small boom box playing. But not just any ordinary Jazz, this was Jazz with a latin beat. Boom, boom, cha, cha, boom, boom. Sofie started the massage and it immediately hit me that her hands were moving to the beat of the music. Not only her hands but it seemed that her whole body was moving to beat, like she was doing a Rumba while she working on me. And you know it worked!
And this is the unique part of the whole experience I felt like I was transported to pre Castro Cuba, the year 1959 the number one tourist destination for much of America. I was wearing a white suit wasling on the boardwalk in Havana and I could hear Rumba musica coming from the windows of the houses that I passed. The air was warm the night sky was clear and yes it seemed like as I was walking I too was doing the Rumba. And then it ended the session was over.
This is like only the second time in twenty years of geting bodywork that I’ve had an experience like this. And even when I got off the table I felt like I’ve been to Cuba, really a cool feeling.
I’m going to go back and have another session with Sofie, where else can you feel teleported both in time and space? Especially to a cool interesting place like Cuba in the late fifties.
My experience is that Sofie’s hands live up to the title of being magic. I would recommend her if your interested no only in a great releaxing massage but in time/​space travel. Sofie only does a few session each week since each session takes a lot of energy out of her. Book Sofie early to get in, before Chula Vista’s best time/​space travel guide gooks up. Don’t forget your cell phone you’ll need it to be guided in.
On a side not I would recommend the smoothies from the deli as you walk outside. I had a small Mango and itw was excellent, a great was to conclude a great session.
