What our clients say
5.0 from 210 reviews on TripAdvisor - among the highest rated in Sofia.
„It's rare to find a therapist who combines deep technical knowledge with such a naturally relaxing touch. She doesn't just give a massage; she truly understands anatomy and targets tension with precision while making sure you're completely at ease. I walked out feeling both physically fixed and mentally reset.“

Frequently asked questions
What is the personalised massage at Mieli Sofia?
Our massages adapt to your current state. We combine different techniques to stimulate your body's natural recovery processes.
What types of massage do you offer?
Everything we do is on our menu: the Mieli Massage in three lengths, Contouring Lymphatic Drainage, Myofascial Release, Bamboo & Fire Therapy, Inner Harmony - Sound Massage, Flexibility & Lightness, the Mum-to-be Massage, and facial therapies - Facial Sculpting, Glowing Lifting, Glow & Lightness - Face & Body and Ultrasonic Facial Cleansing.
How often should I get a massage?
The frequency depends on your individual needs. Some clients prefer weekly sessions, others monthly. During your first consultation we'll create a personal plan for you.
Do I have to undress completely?
Not necessarily. You undress to the degree you feel comfortable with. Your body is covered with a towel and only the area being massaged is exposed.
What if I fall asleep during the massage?
It's perfectly normal to fall asleep – it means you've fully relaxed. We take it as a compliment!
Can I share health concerns before the massage?
Of course! It's important to let us know about any health conditions so we can adapt the massage to your needs.
Do you use oils during the massage?
Yes, we use high-quality oils that nourish the skin and aid relaxation. If you have allergies or preferences, please tell us.
How can I book an appointment?
You can book through our website or by phone. We recommend booking in advance to secure a time that suits you.
How long does a massage last?
You can choose massages of 60, 90 or 120 minutes. During a phone consultation we'll determine the best duration for you.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash and credit/debit card payments. If you have any questions about payment, don't hesitate to ask.
Can you do a massage for two people at the same time?
Yes, we can! At Mieli we can do up to three massages at the same time, in separate cosy rooms. It's best to call us so we can confirm availability and book the best time for you.
Should I talk during the massage? Will the therapist talk to me?
Our therapists listen carefully at the start to understand what you need. After that they create a space of quiet in which your body can recover with ease and your mind can settle. If you'd like to share something during the massage – we're always here to listen and respond with care.
