About Sophie
My name is Sophie and I am a huge foodie, extroverted, and down to earth. I love to help others learn about the positive ways food can impact their lives and the way they feel to build confidence in themselves and their nutrition decisions. I have 12 years of experience working in the nutrition industry and have struggled with my nutrition in the past. However, this has only helped me empathize with clients and become a well-rounded clinician. My main specialties include diabetes, PCOS, and sports nutrition but I treat a variety of different diseases and nutrition interests.
Approach to care
Research has proven higher success rates when there is someone to hold them accountable - I act as that accountability factor for you working with you in a goal-oriented manner. I assist you in finding your "why" behind learning and making changes to your nutrition and lifestyle habits. I also use eastern medicine practices such as dietary therapy in a "food is medicine" approach and recommend daily exercise therapy (working out, cardio, lifting weights) for management of disease, stress, and overall better health.
Your first session with Sophie
In the first session, I complete a nutrition assessment to gather background about your food and beverage patterns at home and out of the house (restaurants, parties, work etc.), your activity, lifestyle, sleep habits, and supplements and medication taken regularly. I ask for your goals and work in accordance with you to implement nutrition, lifestyle, and exercise changes to help reach your goals. I always recommend exercise as I see these as pertinent for internal health and have seen faster results with patients who comply with activity. I can assure you I will always validate your feelings and experience as well in order to find a solution to any struggles you may be having.
