The Stress Eater
Hear from real clients who’ve transformed their habits, improved their health, and found peace with food through my coaching!
“I’d eat well all day, then binge at night. Sophia helped me understand the real reasons behind it and build a rhythm that supports me. I now eat without guilt or chaos.”
“I used to turn to food whenever I felt overwhelmed. With Sophia’s help, I learned to recognize my triggers and respond with care instead of snacks. I finally feel in control again.”
“Food was my escape when emotions ran high. Coaching with Sophia taught me how to listen to my needs instead of numbing them. I feel stronger and more balanced than ever.”
“Years of dieting left me stuck in a cycle of restriction and guilt. Sophia guided me toward sustainable habits that actually work. I’m no longer dieting — I’m just living.”

We're a private-pay practice, which lets us focus fully on the quality of care rather than what an insurance company will approve. We do offer a limited number of sliding-scale spots for clients who need them. If cost is a concern, just ask, we're happy to talk it through. We are happy to provide a superbill to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
