Success Stories

“When I started working with Sophie a year ago I felt pretty terrible, with a long list of chronic and chaotic symptoms that had built up over a long time, and I was overwhelmed and hardly able to function and yet still pushing myself. Working with Sophie has been life-changing, transforming my relationship with my mind and body, and how I understand health and wellbeing. It’s been hard work, but with Sophie’s support my symptoms have all improved, I’ve got some energy back, and I’ve started to feel better than I have for a very long time. I’m quite anxious around healthcare having had traumatic experiences in the past, but Sophie created a space that makes me feel incredibly safe and supported. She has a wealth of knowledge, is warm and generous and easy to talk to, and I would highly recommend her.”

“Longer than usual because it needs saying: I worked with Sophie for a few months and can safely say I couldn’t have worked with a better nutritionist or wished for a lovelier experience. Sophie is incredibly knowledgeable on the nutrition side & was able to share brilliant insights into what was going on with me & how we then could work together to improve a variety of habits and also ways to respond to specific issues. She suggested great supplements that have made a real difference, and had lots of brilliant & imaginative recipes, always with helpful information so I felt constantly like I was learning and importantly, empowered.

But actually the thing that has felt like a huge unexpected bonus is Sophie’s expansive compassion and how she treats her clients in such a holistic way. Because food is often laced with hidden dynamics that we aren’t necessarily aware of Sophie helps identify habits or beliefs that aren’t helpful, and has been pivotal to my understanding and habits beyond all expectations. We explored everything from energy levels, to how I could consider more my nervous system and my self-care as a whole and how that all relates to nutrition. It’s been exciting and enriching. Whist diabetes type 2 wasn’t something I was going through a dear family member was and I would say anyone who is pre-diabetic or diabetic would benefit massively from working with Sophie.

My thoughts on working with Sophie is that at the very least you get to work with an amazingly empathetic and qualified nutritionist, who can flex to what you need, but if you’re looking for someone who will create a safe space for you to explore so much more I would recommend her over and over. I can safely say it’s been transformative. Practically we did zoom when it was more convenient or I met her at her practice space at Tides which was really lovely! Don’t hesitate – book her now.”

“When a friend recommended Sophie as a nutritional therapist my first thought was ‘why would I need someone to tell me what to eat?’ It’s a normal reaction after all because what we eat is a choice and only we can be responsible for that. I had done vegan diets and fasting on and off for decades and thought I knew it all but why did I keep returning to the same ‘unhealthy’ habits? Self reliance isn’t always a positive thing and I listened to what Sophie had to say. I was immediately impressed with her calm and her vital interest in understanding where I was and it opened up a different perspective of my understanding of myself. I soon realised that my mind played a big part in how I was treating my body and my conversations with Sophie helped bring that into my experience rather than being manipulated by the old script that had kept me in an ever repeating cycle. My GP had been prescribing antibiotics and ointments for minor ailments but I began to understand that microbes in the body are completely natural and it’s the overgrowth of these microbes that can make you ill. I applied this understanding to my diet and began to avoid sugars, most definitely from alcohol but also fruit sugars, and included good quality dairy and meat in moderation. I knew gut health was crucial and Sophie introduced me to probiotics and prebiotics which helped me think more about my body and what I was eating. Eating, and its effects on my health, I grew to realise was not just physical, but also mental and emotional, and it was through talking to Sophie and following her guidance that I was fully able to take responsibility for it. If you are embarking on that journey for yourself you would be very fortunate to meet Sophie.”

“Working with Sophie has been transformative, to say the least! Her personalised advice has truly exceeded expectations. Her in-depth understanding of nutrition, paired with a compassionate approach to my lifestyle has guided me toward healthier choices that have
helped me to boost energy levels, productivity. and in turn mood. I no longer feel as if I’m running on empty and have completely changed my routine. Sophie’s unwavering support has not only improved my overall well-being but has also equipped me with valuable insights for sustaining a balanced and nourishing lifestyle as a busy freelancer. Highly recommend getting started with her sooner rather than later…”

“You have been a lifesaver for me. I loved our consultations… you and the plan, guidance, encouragement, and advice on supplements have really changed things around for me. No more 3pm fog, more exercise, and better eating, with the odd treat of course! I have my bespoke plan sellotaped to my store cupboard. Thank you!”

“After many years of digestive issues, within a few months Sophie had my
gut in really good health. This was despite me being particularly busy over this time. Sophie really listened to the specifics of my situation and was able to guide me through everything very clearly. couldn’t recommend her more..!”

“As a coach, I understand the importance of investing in yourself and your wellbeing. After a tough couple of years, I felt on the edge of burnout; fatigued, stressed, and couldn’t even face exercising anymore. With Sophie, I have been able to turn this around over a period of a few months, and I am now feeling much better. She enabled me to make changes to my lifestyle, all of which were practical and enjoyable to implement. She also kept me accountable to my goals. Thanks Sophie!”

“I’m so glad I was put in touch with Sophie. After being diagnosed with IBS, and having no idea how to deal with my symptoms, I thought I would have to live in discomfort for life. Sophie has shown me that through simple changes to my diet I am able to manage my symptoms and no longer have those worries, within a couple of weeks I was already feeling better. love her holistic approach to gut healing and I have learnt so much about the digestive system, which is great as I like knowing the science behind the things Sophie has asked me to try! Really friendly, very informative, couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Sophie spoke recently at our annual conference and her session proved to be
the most engaging of the day. She explained simply and clearly the benefits of eating healthily for energy, and our diverse audience found this most informative with good positive feedback. The session was entitled ‘Eating for Energy: Beating the Afternoon Slump’ – it was engaging and everyone found it extremley beneficial.”

“While training for a half marathon, I was getting very confused with the amount of nutrition information available. This confusion led me to some consultations with Sophie. From the start Sophie was very detailed in requesting information about my current health, goals, and aims, and the consultations that followed were a gold mine as to how to approach sports/running nutrition and what approach might suit me. Furthermore, there were excellent suggestions to improve my overall nutrition. I would recommend anyone to seek nutrition advice/help from Sophie, whether you are training for a sports event or would like to improve your general health.”
