Our Founder and Her Breast Cancer Story
The founder of Mama Sophia Inc., Sophia Parker, is a breast cancer survivor and a self-appointed health evangelist proclaiming the good news of good health as she openly shares her holistic breast cancer healing journey through faith, food and fitness rather than use chemotherapy and radiation. Her story is a BOLD testament to the power of
her faith and the body's ability to heal itself when you allow food to be thy medicine and medicine thy food.
Mama Sophia educates, engages, and entertains as she motivates the masses to pursue good health and well being in all areas of life according to 1 John 3 1-2:
"BELOVED, I WOULD THAT YOU PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH AS THY SOUL PROSPERS" .
She is a former pre-k, elementary and middle school classroom teacher who has taught in the public, private, and home school systems. When not teaching, she is a career advisor to teens, recent graduates and adult students at prominent universities and technical schools.
Mama Sophia has recently written her first book entitled, Prey or Pray: Protecting Our Children in a Cold, Cruel,Chaotic and Cyber World.
The book is a call to action for parents to begin praying for their children as if their lives depended upon it, and it does! This book serves as a stark reminder and a fiery warning that our children will be "preyed on or prayed for" and the choice is ours. Our children will continue to be prey in this world unless we pray for them!
Given the rise in human trafficking, suicides, opioid fatalities, gun violence, and an unprecedented number of school shootings among children, adolescents and young adults, NOW is the time for parents of America to stand together in prayer for the collective protection of our children.

FAITH
Mama Sophia is here to uplift you, educate you and to inspire your faith so you can live authentically, holistically and wholeheartedly.
Practicing health and wellness is a moment-by-moment decision. Total wellness is a journey, not a destination. It is a daily decision to make healthy lifestyle choices and to practice self-love spirit, soul, and body.
FAITH IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
GOT FAITH?
FOOD
KIDS IN THE KITCHEN...A great way to engage with and educate your children around nutrition because
“Good nutrition begins in the kitchen with Mama".
Family and food are the epicenter of home life. Because our dietary habits are often generational, we need to re-examine and re-imagine our learned behaviors and beliefs around food and eating. We may find we need to re-teach ourselves and our children how to "let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food" . If we normalize eating whole foods that were created for our good health, pleasure and enjoyment we can rid ourselves and our families of hereditary chronic illnesses.
We must do the work to correct generations of unhealthy eating habits and to teach new healthy habits to our children.
FITNESS
We must be intentional about our physical fitness. Health and wellness dont just happen- you must DO something. It doesn’t matter what you do… JUST DO SOMETHING!
Daily movement matters. Movement is a gift we can not take for granted. Scripture tells us "IN HIM WE MOVE and HAVE OUR BEING "
A sedentary lifestyle leads to diseases such as: obesity, poor cardiovascular health, diabetes and increases chronic illness complications.
Mama Sophia says, JUST MOVE!
