It wasn't until a secondary infertility journey that I re-evaluated my life and left my corporate job to focus on what I truly wanted to do. To help women make peace with food and their bodies.   Having experienced disordered eating myself, I know first hand how deeply it can suck the joy out of living. When you're trapped in that cycle, food stops being nourishing or enjoyable and becomes a source of endless anxiety. And every week brings a new headline declaring a different food "bad" leaving you confused, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to eat anymore.   I created Happy Balance Nutrition to be the support I wished I had back then, a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can break free from diet culture noise and reconnect with your body’s wisdom.   ![Me 2](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Me%202.jpeg?width=375&height=667&name=Me%202.jpeg) ![Shape Image One](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/about/shape-one.png) ![Shape Image One](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/about/shape-two.png) ![Shape Image One](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/about/shape-three.png) ## **My Approach & Philosophy** Real, lasting change doesn't come from a strict food list or a quick-fix 30-day challenge. Your habits, beliefs, and relationship with food took years to form, so it naturally takes time, compassion, and structure to build new ones. Our work together isn't just about what's on your plate, it's about helping you understand what is driving your food choices and how we can tweak your routine so you feel like your most energised and brilliant self!    Together, we work on:   **Identity & Behaviour Change:** Shifting deep-seated beliefs so healthy choices become an effortless. **Nervous System Support:** Supporting your nervous system first, because stress and nervous system dysregulation directly impact your food choices and your digestion, hormones, energy and many other systems of the body.   **Targeted Health & Root Cause Support:** Using personalised nutrition, functional testing (if appropriate ), and lifestyle adjustments to address your specific symptoms and health goals.   ![PBJ and avo sourdough](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/PBJ%20and%20avo%20sourdough.jpeg?width=422&height=750&name=PBJ%20and%20avo%20sourdough.jpeg) ![Shape Image One](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/about/shape-one.png) ![Shape Image One](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/about/shape-two.png) ![Shape Image One](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/about/shape-three.png) ## **Qualifications & Professional Standards** - Registered Nutritional Therapist - Full Member of **BANT** (British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) - Registered with **CNHC** (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council) ![BANT & CNHC](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/BANT%20%26%20CNHC.png?width=500&height=254&name=BANT%20%26%20CNHC.png) ![Shape Image One](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/about/shape-one.png) ![Shape Image One](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/about/shape-two.png) ![Shape Image One](https://www.happybalancenutrition.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/@marketplace/MagicalMtas/Relxo/images/about/shape-three.png) ## **What My Clients Say** "Sophia wrote an amazing plan.
