Biography for Sonia Migliavacca, CNC, CMH

Nutrition was Sonia’s destiny. Born into a family of farmers in the northern plains of Italy, she learned early on the value of wholesome, healthy food. After university, Sonia spent several years in the food and beverage industry, where she developed innovative healthy products, such as functional waters and energy beverages for the Italian and Middle Eastern markets.

During the pandemic, Sonia decided to pursue her higher mission: helping women live happier, healthier lives.

This led her to study both hypnosis and nutrition. Sonia graduated with Honors from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute (USA), America’s First Nationally Accredited College of Hypnotherapy, and is a Professional Member of the American Hypnosis Association. She furthered her expertise in Australia, where she is now a Nationally Recognized Nutritionist and a member of the Nutrition Council of Australia.

As a Nutritional Hypnotherapist, Sonia uses hypnosis to help women who struggle to adopt new eating habits, want to overcome emotional eating and cravings, or wish to heal their overall relationship with food. To achieve deep, lasting results in the shortest time possible, she seamlessly blends hypnotherapy with Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Sonia also provides practical nutritional guidelines to support the physiological side of habit change.

Originally from Milan, Italy, Sonia now lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her husband and two children, where she supports clients globally.
