 Toshiko’s natural sincerity is reflected in her work and the attitude she brings to her work.  Cranio-sacral therapy is a subtle but powerful approach to core issues. The therapy works on multiple levels:  physical, emotional, and spiritual.  Ideally, we would all be balanced. Toshiko brings her love of aikido into all aspects of her life, thereby supporting the discovery of inner strength and wisdom. Her work assists clients who wish to connect inner and outer in their quest for health and improved quality of life.Cranio-sacral therapy can be helpful for those who cannot have other types of massage due to discomfort relating to pain or physical awkwardness.  Her touch is very gentle and the work is performed with the client fully clothed and draped with a sheet or blanket. Because cranio-sacral work is gentle, it can be beneficial for accident victims where movement or touch could aggravate pain.  Cranio-sacral work also relieves stress by unraveling the trauma.  It also supports the immune system. Toshiko is also trained in structural integration.  She has often seen excellent results by combining cranio-sacral work with structural integration.  The results tend to last longer and act at a deeper level.Toshiko listens with an open heart, is deeply respectful, and has an instinctive desire to protect all beings.

MScN, CN, CNS Candidate
503.713.8683 | Email | Website

Sophie created Knapp Nutrition to help you get healthy in a way that aligns with your values while using evidence-based eating & lifestyle choices that address the root cause of your ailments.

 

There's no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness. That's why she specializes in uncovering your unique nutritive needs & helps you establish eating & lifestyle practices to get you feeling your best while resolving the root cause of your health issues & preventing disease.  


A history of preventable, chronic illness in her family, her own gut health struggles, & a desire to improve athletic performance brought Sophie to the world of nutrition. While walking her personal holistic healing path, she found the most profound symptom relief came from whole food nutrition & a mindful lifestyle with lots of joyful movement. Experiencing the magic firsthand, Sophie recognizes that food & lifestyle have tremendous power to heal the body & also create a strong foundation for preventing disease & maintaining long-term health. 

 

Sophie is a Certified Nutritionist in Washington State with a Master's degree in Holistic Nutrition. Her education includes a Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology from the University of Oregon where she gained a strong foundation in understanding anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, cell physiology, organ systems, & how the body adapts to stress. Following her studies at UO, Sophie went on to achieve her Master of Science in Nutrition from the National University of Natural Medicine. Her graduate education was steeped in hands-on food as medicine kitchen experience, understanding our deep connections with food, the individuality of nutritional needs & applying this in a clinical setting, the importance of a holistic approach, & how nutritionists have the power to address & prevent chronic disease for individuals & communities. 

 

Sophie is currently a CNS Candidate and will become a Certified Nutrition Specialist in the near future, a credential involving numerous required nutrition & science courses, 1000 supervised experiential hours, & a rigorous standardized test all overseen by the American Nutrition Association

 

A life lived at full vitality isn't just what Sophie teaches, it's what she embodies. When she's not celebrating the delicious flavors of healthy food in the kitchen or nerding out on the most recent nutrition research, you can find her nature bathing, climbing a rock, surfing a wave, exploring a new artistic medium, or moving intentionally through a breath-driven yoga practice.
