About Sophia

Hi, my name is Sophia. I hold Bachelor of Science degrees in both Dietetics and Nutritional Sciences from Michigan State University—Go Green! I am also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). For more than 13 years, I have worked as a Registered Dietitian and Lactation Consultant with The WIC Program, supporting individuals and families through evidence-based nutrition and lactation care. My professional background also includes experience in clinical nutrition and pharmaceutical sales, which has given me a strong understanding of medical treatment plans and how nutrition therapy integrates into overall health and wellness. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, strength training, walking, staying active, and cooking. I truly believe that commitment, discipline, and consistency are the foundation for achieving lasting, successful results.

Approach to care

My approach to care is client-centered and collaborative. I ask open-ended questions and listen carefully to understand each client’s unique experiences, concerns, and goals. Together, we develop realistic, sustainable nutrition strategies that respect individual preferences, culture, and lifestyle.

Your first session with Sophia

In our first session, you can expect a conversation focused on getting to know you. We’ll discuss your health history, daily routine, food preferences, and what feels most important to you right now. This helps ensure that my recommendations are practical, personalized, and realistic for your life. By the end of the session, we will set achievable goals and schedule follow-up appointments to evaluate progress, build momentum, and set you up for long-term success. I look forward to working with you!
