About me and my journey

Hi, I’m Dr Sonya.

I’m a medical doctor, former GP, UKIHCA - qualified Health and Nutrition Coach, wife and mum of two. With over a decade of experience in medicine, I have worked across Hospitals, GP practices, Women’s Health Clinics, and Urgent Care, and have also served as a Medical School Educator.

During my time as a GP, I developed specialist interests in weight management, women’s health, and mental wellbeing. My passion for supporting people with their health and wellbeing has always been central to my work, yet over the years I often felt frustrated when medical treatments alone weren’t enough. With limited appointment time, I could offer only a small amount of the holistic support and guidance I knew could make a meaningful difference.

I have faced similar challenges myself, personally overcoming periods of stress, low energy, emotional eating, and low mood.

Both my professional and personal experiences inspired me to train formally as a Health and Nutrition Coach, allowing me to combine medical expertise with evidence - based nutrition, lifestyle change, mindset work, and behaviour - change coaching. I now dedicate my time and expertise entirely to helping women achieve sustainable, holistic weight loss, while enhancing their overall health, energy, and confidence.

By providing this integrated, personalised, holistic and supportive approach, I’ve witnessed remarkable and lasting transformations - both in my clients and in myself. I have come to the strong belief that weight loss is achievable and sustainable when we address the whole picture. This includes nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, relationship with food, your mindset, habits, and emotional wellbeing.
