Certified Massage Therapist: Sonia-Alese Killsgard
Hi there, my name is Sonia! I have been a Certified Massage Therapist (CAMTC#18306) for the past 15 years. I am a sole practitioner with a small office in Modesto, California.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology (with a concentration on pre-physical therapy) from California State University Stanislaus in 2021 and want to use my education and experience to help improve the health and lives of the central valley community!
There is no typical client; I see people with a large variety of issues including, but not limited to:
Muscle pain, joint pain, migraines, stress, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, athletic and work injuries, multiple sclerosis, and many more issues.
I believe massage therapy is one of the most powerful forms of healing; I have personally witnessed the life-changing impact it can have in someone's life. I truly love what I do. Let me know what you are hoping to gain from your session so we can create a treatment plan customized to fit your needs!

During the 2020 pandemic I gained over 50lbs that year alone and knew I had to make some major changes to get my health back on track. I was able to successfully lose over 80lbs with diet and exercise...
