About

University of Toledo graduate Masha Sorin operates Bodywork by Masha, a holistic health studio at 2180 Garnet Ave Suite 3L in the 92109. Sorin earned a BA in Arts and Sciences before completing massage training at the International Professional School of Bodywork in San Diego in 2013, where she obtained her California massage license. The BBB lists the business as a sole proprietorship active since 2015 and gives it an A+ rating with zero complaints on file. Her studio sits inside the Prana Hands Healing Center, a wellness collective that also houses Honest Bodywork in a neighboring suite. Sorin specializes in ashiatsu barefoot massage, a modality she added in 2017 that uses the therapist&s feet to deliver deep pressure along the full length of the spine. Her other offerings include active release therapy, structural integration, neuromuscular trigger-point work, Thai stretching, and cupping. She also holds two separate 200-hour yoga teaching certifications—one through the Rama Lotus Centre in Toledo, Ohio, earned in 2004, and another through YogaFit in 2006—and teaches small-group and private yoga sessions on site. More than a decade of personal training and nutrition counseling experience informs a holistic approach that extends well beyond the massage table. Clients looking to pair bodywork with a morning flow can walk to Reach Yoga farther down Garnet Ave for infrared-heated vinyasa and sculpt classes.

Appointments are available seven days a week and can be booked through MassageBook or ClassPass.
