Her professional journey began in scientific research. Over more than 15 years working across European and UK institutions, she developed an investigative approach to complex questions. With a PhD in Chemistry, scientific publications, and international conference presentations, she brings critical thinking, attention to detail, and a commitment to evidence and continued learning to her clinical work.

 

Her interest in understanding health led her to clinical herbal medicine. She trained at The Irish School of Herbal Medicine and is a member of the Irish Register of Herbalists, where she serves as General Secretary. Her experience also includes dispensary practice, administrative work within a herbal medicine school, and managing the production of herbal tinctures.

​

In consultation, Sofía takes time to explore each person's health history, connect relevant information, and identify what needs attention first. She considers their circumstances, preferences, and daily routines to develop recommendations that are both appropriate and realistic. Rather than trying to change everything at once, she works with each person to find a manageable way forward.

​

Sofía recognises that every person's health concerns are part of a wider story, shaped by their experiences, circumstances and challenges. She approaches this with an open mind and without judgement, seeking to understand each person before deciding how best to support them.

​

Her approach combines clinical herbal medicine, scientific thinking, and complementary observational approaches, including iridology. She continues to develop her knowledge through independent research, professional training, and reflection on clinical experience, allowing her practice to evolve as her understanding grows.

​

Ultimately, Sofía wants people to understand their bodies better, recognise when something needs attention, and feel more confident making informed decisions about their health. Her aim is not to promise quick fixes, but to help people find meaningful support, improve their quality of life, and navigate health challenges with greater understanding and confidence.
