Linda 見證分享 (Chinese Cantonese): 健康地增加體重
Healthy weight gain, balanced vegetarian nutrition
My 65-year old mom lost about 10 lbs and was having frequent digestive discomfort/issues. We wanted to find a nutritionist and personal trainer who could speak mandarin/cantonese with my mom and Sophie was an excellent fit. She developed a detailed diet and exercise plan and after several weeks of working with her, my mom gained a healthy 5lbs back. Sophie was able to figure out what foods to avoid in my mom’s diet and recommend other nutritious foods to help her gain back healthy weight. Sophie was a pleasure to work with — very kind and patient throughout the whole process and great results in the end for my mom.

Elizabeth’s Journey: Weight Loss and Reduce Bloating
Working with Sophie was great, sometimes hard but always fulfilling. I learned a lot through her sessions and she really is so patient and good at answering questions. I really wanted to work with a nutritionist who was creative and flexible with different types of cuisine and I think having that connection was really helpful and led to some great discussions. Overall felt lighter, lost weight and I think have some new info I can take with me going forward. Would recommend!
