Meet Elina, the HEART Behind Sonné Salud
Greetings!
Greetings, I’m Elina Sonné — a holistic therapist from Finland and the founder of Sonné Salud.
I’ve been working in the wellness field since 2007, beginning my journey as a certified Sports Massage Therapist before slowly finding my way into a much softer, more intuitive style of healing.
​
Over the years, my work has evolved from deep-tissue and sports techniques into something more connected, more feminine, and more attuned to the nervous system.
​
Today, my greatest passion is facial therapy — especially Facial Gua Sha — which I studied with renowned educator Katie Blake, also known as The Skin Whisperer.
Her training opened a new chapter in my work: a gentler, more intuitive approach that helps soften the face, calm the mind, and restore harmony to the whole body.
My Story
I began my career in Helsinki, running a successful massage and wellness business.
But the long, dark winters eventually made me crave sun, warmth, and a slower
pace of life — which brought me to Spain.
​
My journey on the Costa del Sol started in Fuengirola, where I built my first massage studio, Sonné Salud.
Then came motherhood and the global shift in how people work. As remote workers and digital professionals moved to the coast, I saw a growing need for stress relief, grounding, and nervous-system support.
​
So I expanded my work into mobile massage services and, later, into the deeply restorative facial practices that now form the heart of my work.
A softer way of healing
After nearly 20 years in the wellness field, I’ve learned that true healing doesn’t require force — it requires safety, slowness, and presence.
​
I no longer work primarily as a “sports therapist.”
I now work as a holistic nervous-system therapist through:
​
- Facial Gua Sha
- Facial Cupping
- Body Gua Sha
- Soft tissue + fascia release
- Grounding massage techniques
- Somatic-inspired touch
​
My treatments are designed to help your body feel safe enough to let go — physically and emotionally.​
​
The Sonné salud Team
As demand grew, especially among remote workers, expats, and clients seeking home visits, I built a small team of trusted holistic practitioners who share the same philosophy: gentle, grounded, intuitive care.
​
Our team offers:
- Holistic massages
- Home-visit massage services around Marbella, San Pedro & Estepona
- Deeply restorative body treatments
This allows me to dedicate most of my time to facials, while my team supports clients with bodywork in both our lounges and at home.
Together, we create a circle of care that meets clients wherever they are — in life, in stress, and in geography.
​
Life Outside Work
When I’m not giving treatments, you can find me outdoors, enjoying the sunshine, mountains, coffee, and precious moments with my family.
Simple, grounding pleasures — the same feeling I wish to share through my work.
​
Our Mission
My mission at Sonné Salud is to bring nervous-system calm, beauty, and soft healing to those who need it most — especially the remote workers, overwhelmed professionals, and sensitive women seeking a sanctuary to exhale.
​
Whether in our peaceful space or through a home visit, you’re invited to slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself.
