Highly recommend TBN

I've really enjoyed working with Sofi. I was lost after years of trying this diet and that eating plan, and was doing a bit of everything not knowing what was right for me as there is so much contradicting information out there. I did the personalised plan with Sofi and now have clear knowledge of what I need to eat to suit my lifestyle. The meals are tasty, work well for my family (and bank account) too, and I know I'm finally eating healthy and balanced food that's right for me. Thank you, Sofi, I'm really grateful to you!

I really enjoyed the basic course online

I really enjoyed the basic course on demand and feel that I learned a lot about gut health and nutrition. I’m now starting to put these things into practice and already have more energy. Sofi is a brilliant teacher and I’m now thinking of doing the gut health course next. I would highly recommend!

Excellent courses

I’ve done two courses with Sofi. Both very informative. Sofi has excellent knowledge in nutrition. With her encouragement and expertise she has helped me understand ultra processed food and make some good choices in life. I’ve managed to lose weight and feel a lot more energised by making a few simple
changes.

Personalised Nutrition Coaching Plan - a comprehensive service

I have just finished the personalised nutrition coaching plan with Sofi. We had our final of 3 calls this week and went through the initial issues I wanted to address in the first call 6 weeks or so ago and each and every one of them have been addressed.

Sofi takes a very individual approach and I felt like every time we spoke she was considering my whole health situation and gave personalised advice.

Sofi was available on WhatsApp throughout the plan for any questions I had,

The plan has changed my mindset with food and nutrition, all in all I thought it offered excellent value.

I have done several of Sofi’s courses

I have done several of Sofi’s courses, which I loved. They are a great introduction to nutrition and Sofi is so helpful and answers any additional
questions that you have. The course sizes are kept small so that you can get the most from the interaction.
I then signed up to a personal nutrition plan, which I am in the middle of now. We have addressed any concerns that I have and I already can see a difference both in how I look and feel. Would highly recommend!

Another excellent course from Sofi where I learnt loads

I signed up to the menopause session after getting so much out of the basics course and it didn’t disappoint.
I learned loads, it was very practical and sofi was excellent at bringing it to life and making it very practical.
I’ve implemented some of the things and I’m really feeling the benefits.

Really enjoyed the 4 week basic nutrition course, Sofi has a wealth of knowledge around nutrition and healthy eating. Would highly recommend the course if you are trying to improve your eating habits and lead a healthier lifestyle.

Brilliant!

I’ve attended both the Basic course and the menopause course and have been so impressed with the content and also Sofi’s expertise, knowledge and sensible approach. I’ve changed my attitude to food and am eating better and feeling the positive benefits. Sofi is inspiring and encouraging and I recommend her to all my family and friends. I love following the daily updates with tips and recipes and have just purchased the children’s snack recipes so that I can make my grandchildren heathy snacks when they visit! I’m loving the snacks myself too! Would recommend everyone to get in touch with Sofi……you won’t regret it! ❤️

I have done Sofi’s Basic nutrition…

I have done Sofi’s Basic nutrition course and had a 1:1 for postpartum recovery with my second child.
I can not recommend her enough, she has changed the way I cook and purchase food for my family making sure we have a fully nourishing diet, but has also helped me with my postpartum recovery, helping me manage my hormones through my diet.
With this I have also found I have the energy levels that are needed to get through the day with a newborn and a very active toddler and not need to raid the chocolate box.

Very helpful course

Very helpful course, I managed to listen to pre recorded material as the course times were tricky around children for me so have been able to listen when works for me and have learnt so much already.

Amazing course 🫶

Thank you for the last 4 weeks, the benefits of the course have hugely made an impact not just for me but my whole family. The knowledge I now have going forward will make such a difference in my day to day. If the last 4 weeks have anything to go by, the future is looking pretty healthy and nutritious for me. I will be back for more knowledge soon 🫶
