About Sophia

Sophia is not your typical nutritionist. Sophia’s philosophy revolves around treating people as individuals rather than labelling them by their disease or condition; this drives Sophia to find the root cause of her client’s health problems rather than treating with a mere ‘band-aid’ approach.

Sophia’s passion is use her skills & knowledge to help people improve their health physically, mentally & emotionally and to teach her clients how to keep their health in balance.  Sophia has studied evidence-based Naturopathic medicine along with Nutritional & Herbal Medicine. Sophia is also a qualified Pilates instructor & Yoga practitioner who enjoys teaching & sharing her skills in both a class & individual setting.

Consultations with Sophia are tailored to individual needs however various diagnostic tools may be used to conduct a comprehensive health analysis. These include:

• acid alkaline testing (pH levels)
• digestive function testing – assessing levels of dysbiosis in the bowel
• Zinc testing
• blood pressure & blood sugar monitoring
• body composition analysis
• cellular health analysis
• iridology
• tongue & pulse diagnosis
• postural assessment – particularly important for those with muscular/ structural imbalances or those requiring a take-home programme.
• Relevant referrals for pathology testing (such as liver detoxification profiles, testing for hormonal imbalances, parasitology)
• Food intolerance testing – available onsite or with referral

Drawing on her experience from her clinical practice both overseas & in Australia, Sophia works with her clients to create tailored treatment plans which are personally structured with a strong focus on educating clients on how to maintain wellness with diet & lifestyle. Sophia uses a combination of nutritional medicines, flower essence therapy, homeopathic remedies, exercise prescription, dietary planning, lifestyle advice as well as western herbs, traditional chinese herbs & ayurvedic herbal formulas depending on the client’s needs.

Sophia specialises in wellness programs & detoxification programmes (such as ReVitalise You & Core Yoga Two Week Detox) which incorporate Yoga & Pilates along with Nutritional & Naturopathic treatment plans, diet & lifestyle support and some fun thrown in for good measure!.  The 8-week & 12-week programmes are fantastic for those looking to commit to improving their health physically, mentally & emotionally from the inside out!
