About Sophie Johnson

Sophie Johnson began her career in massage therapy at the age of eight. Although a lifelong Cache Valley resident, as a child she spent her summers at her grandfather’s commercial setnet fishing camp on the east side of Alaska’s Cook Inlet near the town of Kenai. Her official assignment was assistant to the cooks—her mother and older sister—but she found her true calling giving hand and neck massages to her older brothers and the rest of the ten-man fishing crew at the end of long, grueling days on the beach picking seven-pound salmon from the gill nets—a labor-intensive and hand-torturing chore.

She enjoyed soothing their sore hands and stiff necks. One day at the kitchen table she gave her grandfather’s eighty-five-year-old crony a neck massage and he paid her five bucks. That’s when the light flipped on in her little eight-year-old entrepreneurial head as she realized she could get paid for doing something she loved.

Fourteen years later she graduated from Bridgerland Technical College with her credential in massage therapy. Along with working the kinks out of sore muscles and restoring them to full function, she especially enjoys bringing relief to the aching backs and swollen legs of pregnant women. She also has a soft spot for the elderly and the homebound—including hospice patients.

Sophie’s outside interests include painting, snowmobiling, grouse hunting with her dad and brothers, traveling, pool, and Ping-Pong.
