About me

Hey there!

My name is Sofia and this is my little corner on the cyberspace. I was born in sunny Lisbon, Portugal, in a Summer day back in the 80’s. This blog was born in 2014, exactly six months after I relocated from Portugal to Bristol, UK. It started as an easy way to write to my family and friends without having to pay for postage and, somehow, it gained a life of its own.

Now, I have readers from all four corners of our beautiful Planet – which is pretty awesome and makes me feel very humble.

A little bit about the person behind the words in your screen.

I’ve done sports my whole life but a martial arts back injury in 2015 meant that I could no longer train and as result, my mental health was severely affected and I started eating. Like, a lot…

When I found the courage to snap out of it, I quickly realised that I had zero knowledge regarding nutrition and no one really wanted to help me become healthier.

I did found an array of people who wanted to trap me into expensive shakes or programs that didn’t work, though. But the minute I stopped, I would gain all the weight back and some more.

Fed up of the lies and tricks, I took matters in my own hands and completed a Diploma in Nutrition to help myself. I quickly discovered that like me, so many people lack the basics regarding nutrition.

It’s now my mission to share that knowledge and help as many people as I can and for the past 2 years, I have been helping men and women lose weight safely, and keep it off permanently.

 

I’m an advocate for education so I give everyone lifetime access to my virtual classroom and the basic tools that everyone should know on how to make better decisions for themselves and their families. 

If this sounds like you, message me and let’s chat. However, if you’re looking for a “7-day fat-blasting miracle diet, quick fix”, don’t bother because that’s not what I offer.

That harms your body, makes you feel sad and never works. I want to empower you and see you flourish!

I regularly run free small groups on topics such as nutrition, wellness, wellbeing, how to have more free time by staying organised, and more. Check out my Instagram for more.

I am also a Christian, a newlywed, mama to my little girl Diana, and we live with our two cats Bemmi and Polo, and rescue dog, Smarties.

We have a full household around here and life sometimes is hectic but we make the best of it and I share about it.

Some posts are in English and others are in Portuguese. Google allows you to translate the posts into any other language in the world so don’t worry about missing out. 

Enjoy yourself around my website and have an awesome day!

Beijinhos (that means kisses in Portuguese, btw. We never say goodbye, we prefer to send kisses instead and I love that),
