My name is Sophia, the Holistic Nutritionist, Herbalist, Somatic Therapist, and Formulator behind Naturasophia.

I believe in nature's profound ability to support your healing journey. My deep reverence for the natural world has guided me to discover and share its nurturing wisdom with those seeking genuine wellbeing.

My wellness journey began through personal experience when conventional medicine offered limited support for my health challenges. While studying Visual Arts in Montreal, my interest in art therapy opened new perspectives on healing and led me to explore natural medicine. This path led me back to my Southern Italian roots, where traditional healing wisdom has been passed down through generations. Through nutrition and herbal therapies, I experienced significant improvement and witnessed my condition begin to reverse.

Inspired by my transformation, I completed master's-level training and earned a dual diploma in Holistic Nutrition and Medical Herbalism from North America's most comprehensive Western Herbal Medicine and Holistic Nutrition program, completing over 4,000 hours of training, including 850 hours of clinical practice and medicine dispensing. I later completed a certificate in Somatic Therapy, understanding that our physical and emotional experiences are deeply interconnected – our bodies hold wisdom that can guide us toward deeper healing and wholeness.

My education bridges Western science (Biochemistry, Phytochemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, Pathophysiology, and Pharmacology) with traditional healing modalities (Herbal Medicine, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine). With over a decade in natural health, my practice uniquely blends creative expression, natural science, and traditional healing wisdom.

This combination of formal training, hands-on experience, and genuine dedication to service enables me to effectively support and empower my clients through an integrative approach that addresses both physical and emotional wellbeing.
