Sophia was diagnosed with Anorexia at age 15 after the loss of her friend. Before long she was on the front cover of media publications, leading nationwide mental health campaigns and advising governments. Fast forward a number of years and she is using her business and personal experience to provide clinicians with the data to provide better and earlier diagnosis for mental health illnesses at Kanjo Health.
