Hello, I'm Sophie
I'm a registered nutritional therapist based in Bristol, and I'm passionate about helping people feel their best through the power of food. I studied nutritional therapy because I believe that what we eat has a profound impact on how we feel, think, and live — and I've seen that truth play out with every client I've worked with.
Whether you're struggling with gut issues, low energy, hormonal imbalances, or weight that won't shift, I create evidence-based, personalised nutrition plans that fit your life — not a one-size-fits-all diet sheet. My approach is practical, supportive, and always rooted in the latest nutritional science.
When I'm not in clinic, you'll find me experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, exploring the hills around Bath and Bristol, or hunting down the best independent food spots the city has to offer. I genuinely love food — and I want to help you love it too.
My Journey Into Nutrition
A personal health struggle in my twenties opened my eyes to the transformative power of nutrition — and set me on a path I never expected.
After years of digestive problems that conventional medicine couldn't fully resolve, I discovered nutritional therapy and experienced first-hand how targeted dietary changes could make a real difference. That experience changed everything for me. I knew I wanted to help others find the same relief and vitality.
I trained at a leading nutrition school, earning an accredited Diploma in Nutritional Therapy, and went on to work in busy clinic settings alongside GPs and functional medicine practitioners. Those years gave me invaluable experience across a wide range of health concerns — from autoimmune conditions to stress-related fatigue.
In 2021, I launched Nourish & Thrive Nutrition to build the kind of practice I'd always envisioned: one where every client gets the time, attention, and personalised care they deserve. It's the most rewarding work I've ever done.

A thorough 75-minute session where I'll take a full health history, discuss your diet and lifestyle, and understand your goals. I may recommend functional testing if appropriate.

Regular follow-up sessions to track your progress, adjust your plan, and keep you motivated. I'm here for the long haul — not just a one-off consultation.
What I Believe In
These principles shape every plan I create and every conversation we have.
Evidence-Based
Every recommendation I make is grounded in current nutritional science and peer-reviewed research. No fads, no gimmicks — just proven strategies that deliver real results for your body.
Whole-Person Approach
I look beyond individual symptoms to understand the bigger picture — your stress levels, sleep, digestion, and lifestyle all play a role. True health means nourishing every part of you.
Empowerment
My goal isn't to make you dependent on me — it's to teach you how to nourish yourself with confidence. I want you to leave our work together feeling informed, capable, and in control of your health.
What My Clients Say
I'd been bloated and exhausted for years and just accepted it as normal. Sophie helped me understand my body in a way no one else had. Within eight weeks of following her plan, my energy was back, my digestion had completely settled, and I felt like a different person. She's incredibly knowledgeable but also so warm and easy to talk to.
