About Sophie

Hello! I’m Sophie Leslie, a registered dietitian passionate about helping clients create meaningful, lasting health changes. My journey with nutrition began in childhood, sparked by curiosity about food and its healing potential. I’ve worked on the neurology unit, with veterans at the VA, in-home counseling, and inpatient care, and I’m experienced in nutrition interventions for diabetes, weight management, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, neurological conditions, and more. My goal working with you is to build a supportive partnership—meeting you where you are, setting realistic goals, and celebrating progress along the way. Being half Swiss, I’ve had the opportunity to ski in the Alps, which has been a special connection to my heritage. I also love traveling and immersing myself in other cultures, learning from new perspectives and ways of life.

Approach to care

I have a passion for taking on challenges and working collaboratively with my clients to create meaningful, lasting change. I understand that behavior change can be difficult, especially when obstacles arise, and I am committed to supporting my clients through those moments. Together, we build resilience, develop practical strategies, and stay focused on progress—even when the journey feels hard.

Your first session with Sophie

At your first visit with me, you can expect a supportive and personalized experience. Before we meet, I take the time to thoroughly review your chart so I can fully understand your medical history and health background. During our session, we’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and lifestyle to create a plan that truly fits where you are right now. My approach is centered on meeting you where you are and building realistic, attainable goals that feel sustainable—not overwhelming. Most importantly, I strive to be a supportive partner throughout your health journey, providing guidance, encouragement, and a safe space to navigate lasting change. I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your best self!
