Hello!

I’m Sophia, director of Sophia’s Kitchen Therapy; a nutritional therapist, health nut, baking enthusiast, lover of yoga and all things green.

So where did the name come from? Well for me it encompasses everything that I do. Kitchen therapy; not just from the medicinal properties that we get from food in order to heal + rebalance our bodies, but also from the therapeutic effects from cooking and baking itself.

In the words of Hippocrates; Let food be thy medicine & medicine be thy food.

“ I find tranquillity and inner peace when I am in my kitchen – I suppose it’s what you might call ‘my happy place’. Cooking my favourite healthy dish or creating new recipes is my therapy in every sense of the word. Not only does the food I cook nourish and heal my body but the actual cooking and preparation of food is therapeutic and relaxing. Doing something that you love does wonders for the mind and soul”.

How did I get here? Well after years of sub optimal health and digestive issues (which I now link to taking antibiotics unnecessarily numerous times + damaging my gut lining). I became more and more interested in health and nutrition. I eventually linked my health issues to diet and lifestyle and began to make drastic changes. I cut out dairy and gluten and began exploring alternatives for these foods (back when it was seriously not cool to do so). My symptoms improved greatly and I began to experience increased energy and vitality. I now follow a whole food and primarily plant based diet and I’m constantly creating new recipes based upon this ethos.

My passion for healthy eating and my thirst for knowledge led me to a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition at the University of Nottingham and I am now a qualified Nutritionist. I have also completed a diploma in Nutritional Therapy from the College of Naturopathic Medicine.

I find leading a healthy and holistic lifestyle enables me to feel optimal and to feel more connected with my body and others around me. I also like to know that I am doing everything possible to PREVENT disease. I think this is so very important in a world which is increasingly geared up to cause disease –  surrounded by chemicals, toxins, pollutants, pesticides, high stress etc.

Whether it be retail therapy, nutritional therapy or kitchen therapy, we all need a little self-loving to function at our best!

I hope I might inspire you too to find therapy and joy through this website and creating my recipes by making healthy eating exciting and fun and being the best version of you.

Here’s to glorious, nourishing, real food.

Sophia
