Sonia Funk comes to Lifecheck Health all the way from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. While there Sonia practiced as a Holistic Nutritionist at Natural Essentials, an integrated clinic in the heart of Winnipeg. She also had an extended practice outside of the city with another company, Herbal Choices.
Sonia began her journey into nutrition when she began study at the University of Winnipeg, where she decided to pursue a degree with a double major in the two unusually paired subjects of Biology and Music. The plan was soon to be diverted though, when Sonia met Olaf Pittlyk, the future producer of her first record. Putting science on the shelf for a while, Sonia left school in her second year, finished the record and hit the road with her band.
The following years were full of adventure, tons of fun, some notable success and a move to Toronto. During this time, however, it wasn’t Musician Magazines and books that Sonia was picking up to read in her spare time, rather it was Alternative and Natural Health Literature, and in early 2006 Sonia decided it was time for a change. She enrolled in a Nutritional Consultant diploma program and began her studies while living in Toronto.
Later that year she moved on to New York where she continued her studies by correspondence, and volunteered at the New York Open Center, teaching Nutrition Classes at an HIV Day Treatment Center in Manhattan’s Lower East side through their In Reach programme. In the spring of 2007 Sonia returned to Winnipeg to complete an internship at Natural Essentials, swiftly finding herself with a full time practice.
Soon, however, it was time to move, again. This time the move was with her new husband and their puppy Wicket all the way across the ocean. Now settled in London, Sonia continues towards her full certification under the umbrella of Lifecheck Health. Through her life experience Sonia has come to understand people very well and she brings to her practice a great feeling of understanding and empathy. Sonia approaches her clients with a flexible and unique creation of health around their individual lifestyle and personal needs. With this in mind, Sonia has helped clients with everything from low energy, headaches and weight loss, to digestive troubles and depression. Clients dealing with more serious conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer, have experienced a vast improvement in the quality of their lives by following Sonia’s recommendations.
With her thoughtful and individual approach, Sonia believes she can help you live and plan for a more enjoyable, productive and healthier life.
