My Approach
My first client as a health coach was myself while I was going through triple negative breast cancer back in 2014! I used all of the knowledge I gained through my certifications in health coaching and plant based nutrition. Also having always been a health nut, and using my kitchen as my lab, along with reading as many medical reports as possible on the subject, I used all of this knowledge to go through my cancer journey without having to miss one single chemo treatment, feeling pretty good most of the time, having my bloodwork in top shape and even starting a job.
I looked for the tools I needed and that made sense to me. Meditated daily, did visualization, ate a healthy mostly plant-based diet, reiki, crystal energy work, yoga and other complementary therapies. All along the way, I would check with my medical team to make sure there were no interactions. This is a very important ingredient of the journey. We all need to work as a team. The coaching method I use is multidisciplinary and all therapies need to co-exist together along with the patients needs.
It is not only the most difficult thing to know oneself, but the most inconvenient one, too.

Sofia’s Journey
Using personal transformation to inspire others
Nothing like going through health issues to better understand how lifestyle is one of the most important ingredients to better oneself. But going through this journey alone is not always easy. I had many healthcare professionals helping me out, and thanks to my own certified knowledge in plant-based nutrition and health coaching, I feel fortunate to have been able to seek the right healthcare professionals to help me.
Today, through my own personal experience and the education I have been gathering from well-renown institutes, I help many other women through their own process.

Success Stories
When I first met Sofia as she too was still going through her own journey, I must admit, I thought she was wild, as she was using herself as her own guinea-pig. But seeing how well she was doing, I seemed her help. Her coaching made all the difference, even though I was already stage 4. I was able to enjoy my last years in a totally different manner as she coaching me through lifestyle changes, which not only helped me as my whole family.

I knew Sofia online through various foodie groups we belong to. I had followed her journey through cancer and admired how positive and action taker she was. I never expected one day to go through what she had gone through. Yet... one day, cancer kicked at my door. I was frightened, confused and not knowing where to start. I right away called Sofia. She was my life-saver. Actually I call her Boss-Lady, as all her coaching was spot on, and I cannot even imagine having gone through it all without her help!
Luisa - CA, USA
I met Sofia through our daughters who were friends in school, back when they lived in WI. Meanwhile they moved to SC and I had lost touch with her, until I saw a post on Facebook about her journey. Knowing her personally, I was not surprised she would take all the precautions needed and steps to better herself. Years later, I had a care. Thankfully it was only a scare, but this was enough for me to call Sofia, as I come from a family with cancer, and decide to take the steps to change my lifestyle. To date, Sofia still helps me better myself. Her support is unconditional. She is always a call away. Thanks for the friendship and the coaching you have been giving me for the past 2 years!
