Extreme weight-loss:

Extreme weight-loss can be anywhere from 50-500 pounds. Sophia understands everything that surrounds extreme weight-loss having been through it herself.

-Joints: The stress on the joints can change the way a person walks and moves, causing misalignments in the hips and spine. Training in the proper way, with different modifications is very important for a successful outcome, and to help or workout around various injuries.

-Bodyweight: Not everyone who has over 100 pounds to lose can perform bodyweight moves. In some cases, using free weights and machines are necessary. Sophia has found ways around any special case in order to achieve a successful outcome.

-Cardio: Not everyone who is an extreme weight-loss candidate can do cardio due to foot and ankle issues. Modifications must be made.

-Eating disorders: Having studied hundreds of cases over 14+ years, Sophia has seen and successfully helped those with multiple eating disorders and other addictions. Sophia strives to help any case no matter how difficult the case may be. She never gives up on anyone.

-Emotions: With extreme weight-loss comes extreme emotions. Change can be hard, even if it’s good change. During a weight-loss journey, family and friends sometimes shift to different priorities, causing emotional distress for the extreme weight-loss client. Relationships with food change which can also cause sadness and fear. Sophia coaches her clients to love themselves and so that nothing will derail them from their goal. She helps individuals develop new relationships with food and with their loved ones. She is not only a personal trainer and online coach, but she is a friend and a shoulder to cry on.
