Meet Coach Sophie

Sophie was born and raised in a suburb outside of Chicago. Growing up, she was always active, playing soccer, basketball, volleyball, dance and cheerleading. She never struggled with her weight and being raised in a big Greek family, food and celebration were always a part of life.

In 2008, Sophie went through a very difficult season and slowly began gaining weight. By 2010, she had gained 60 pounds and started experiencing health challenges. After visiting multiple neurologists, the fourth one said something that changed everything:

“Sometimes we have to be our own advocate for our health. You used to make your health a priority and it’s time to do that again.”

That conversation became a turning point. In February 2013, after recommitting to her own wellness, Sophie became a weight loss and wellness coach.

Over the years, she has continued to deepen her knowledge and training.

Sophie is certified in personal coaching, wellness coaching and fitness and has extensively studied nutrition, mindset, and women’s hormonal health combining science, compassion, and real-life experience to support her clients.

Mindset soon became one of her greatest passions. In 2012, Sophie lost her best friend to depression, an experience that made her more aware of how we speak to ourselves and how powerful our thoughts shape our health. She often reminds her clients:

“We would never speak harshly to the people we love so why do we do it to ourselves?”

She believes that mindset is the foundation of sustainable weight loss and living a healthy, joyful life.

Even after years of maintaining her weight, Sophie has faced challenges again including depression and a hormone imbalance that led to weight gain. After being told by several doctors that “this is just how it is,” she continued to advocate for herself, found doctors willing to work with her and began restoring hormonal balance.

Today, Sophie is back on her journey. She is losing weight, regaining her energy and living the life she loves. She is committed to helping others discover that it is never too late to begin again, heal, and feel confident in their bodies.
