About Sonja
Hello! I am thrilled to welcome you. I hold a Master's Degree in Nutritional Sciences from the University of New Hampshire and currently reside in Dover, New Hampshire with my boyfriend and our cat, Tapatio. My journey into nutrition and dietetics began in Arizona with my experience as a professional mountain bike racer. I am dedicated to helping individuals make sustainable lifestyle changes to become more active and eat healthier, without restriction, whether for sports performance or everyday life. I look forward to supporting you on this journey!
Approach to care
I tailor my education and recommendations to each client, believing that education is the key to sustainable habit change and ultimate success. Setting SMART goals helps you achieve your objectives without feeling overwhelmed. I take a patient-led approach, assessing the best actions to help you reach your unique goals. My role is to provide an evidence-based approach and accessible education, empowering you to make informed decisions and guide you towards a healthier lifestyle, where you feel confident in your nutrition and lifestyle choices after our sessions. I want you to be successful!
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.
