Sonya Sawyer
Sonya is dedicated to helping clients cultivate a positive and sustainable relationship with food through a non-diet approach to nutrition.
She strives to remove guilt and shame from the eating experience, encouraging curiosity in the kitchen. With a focus on joyful and flexible eating, Sonya empowers her clients to create nourishing meals and snacks with confidence. Sonya loves working with clients who face challenges in meal planning/prep, are looking for creativity in the kitchen, require quick and convenient meal solutions, or are seeking support in improving their overall relationship with food.
Sonya’s deep curiosity in supporting health and well-being through nutrition was sparked after witnessing a close family member navigate a nutrition-related illness. This led her to pursue both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Human Nutrition at Winthrop University in South Carolina, where she also completed her Dietetic Internship. Before becoming a registered dietitian, Sonya served for four years as an active-duty Medic in the U.S. Army. Her military experience played a pivotal role in shaping her compassionate approach to wellness and her ability to adapt to the unique needs of each client.
