About Philosophie

yoga and juicePhilosophie specializes in one on one or small group cleanses/detox using only raw, organic foods. I (Sophie Jaffe) am also a certified yoga teacher and personal trainer, and thereby focus on bringing together all aspects of my training to meet particular goals and intentions of individual clients.

I live in Los Angeles and am currently self-employed. I was a manager of a raw foods store in Hollywood and specialized in creating and executing group cleanses. When I became frustrated with the group “one size fits all” model of cleansing, I branched off with my own concept and now work one on one with clients.

I have since found great success in providing detox cleanses to a wide variety of clients, ranging from identifiable celebrities (Stacy Keibler, George Clooney, Gerard Butler) and musicians (Billy Korgan) to private yoga clients and friends. My private cleanse is designed to last anywhere from 3 to 7 days, depending on the purpose behind the cleanse. Further, I use all local and sustainable products i.e. I rely on farmers markets or local co-opportunity produce and ingredients.

I sprout all my own seeds and nuts and I am deeply connected with the community and obtain “superfoods” from other small businesses like my own. I deliver cleanses personally to the client in my own cooler, complete with everything they will need for consumption, including a menu that highlights the basic ingredients and when and what to eat at each point in the day. My model is convenient and accessible and clients have reported that they feel results almost immediately.

I should emphasize that Philosophie cleanse is not a fast: instead, specifically focuses on cleansing through the beautiful organic foods, helping the body to heal naturally once the bad foods are removed from the system.

Those clients who intend to lose weight also report rapid weight loss; stubborn fat vanishes. If I had to choose the single best aspect of the cleanse, I would have to point to the fact that each and every client reports a big increase in energy and tells me that they feel so good that they are more motivated to work out and maintain a healthier lifestyle after experiencing the cleanse.
