Presenter: Sonya Reynolds

Sonya is a Nutritionist and Life Coach with over 17 years experience in the natural health industry.

Unbeknown to Sonya when she studied Nutrition, her knowledge and experience in Nutrition would become the key to healing her family when her eldest daughter was diagnosed with Epilepsy at age 3 and a half, over 10 years ago.

This personal experience led her to delve further into the natural and conventional treatments for Epilepsy and how the two do not have to be mutually exclusive.
Since then Sonya has worked extensively with children and adults with Epilepsy to help make a positive impact in their lives.
