About Sonja

With a master's degree in Nutritional Sciences from the University of New Hampshire, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my practice with Nourish. My passion for nutrition and dietetics was sparked during my time as a professional mountain bike racer in Arizona. I have extensive experience in both inpatient and outpatient counseling, specializing in weight management and the management of various health conditions. I am committed to helping you make sustainable lifestyle changes that promote increased activity and healthier eating habits, without feeling restricted. Whether your goals are related to sports performance or everyday life, I am here to support you every step of the way. I look forward to guiding you on your journey to better health and well-being! Let's work together to achieve your goals.

Approach to care

I recognize that nutrition is unique to each individual, so I provide personalized care tailored to your needs. By setting SMART goals, we can achieve your objectives without feeling overwhelmed. My patient-led approach involves assessing the best actions to help you reach your specific goals. I offer evidence-based guidance and accessible education to empower you to make informed decisions. This approach aims to guide you towards a healthier lifestyle, ensuring you feel confident in your nutrition and lifestyle choices after our sessions. Your success is my priority!

Your first session with Sonja

We will conduct a thorough assessment of your overall health, medical history, lifestyle, exercise habits, and current diet to create a personalized plan tailored to your unique needs. During the first session, we will set at least one tangible goal to work on until the next session. In follow-up sessions, we will review your progress, discuss any challenges you faced, and adjust your goals to ensure they are resilient to life's ups and downs. Expect a warm, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing relevant information to achieve the best possible results.
