My Story

I wasn’t born a nutritionist – far from it. But I was born with a love of science. My go-to Halloween
costume was Louis Pasteur (seriously). I received my undergrad in Biology and started my career as
an analytical chemist with the goal of studying and curing disease. I began to notice that the diseases I
was interested in were mainly caused my lifestyle and improper nutrition.

At the same time, I got news from my doctor that if I didn’t start focusing on exercise and nutrition, I was going to quickly develop heart disease. I was now heading down the very path I had dedicated my life to avoid.

I read everything I could get my hands on — from fad diets to scientific studies -- but realized they all said different things or weren’t easy to implement. So, I decided to go back to school and learn for myself.

Once I cut through all the noise, I was able to reverse my own health problems, lose some weight, and feel energized in a way I didn’t know was possible. Now, I aim to help others translate complex nutrition ideas into their lifestyles simply and effectively.

I’m Here to Empower You

I wanted to thank you for coming in and giving such a great presentation! Everyone is still talking about it and they loved the health challenge. I actually think that it brought our company together. They are excited about the information that you gave them and it seems that more people are bonding. They used to just talk about Netflix and how much they drank over the weekend so this is music to HR’s ears!!! Thanks again!

Tracey

Tara is hilarious and clearly knows her stuff! I had a lot of fun and it’s so cool that our company cares about us enough to have her come in and talk to us.

Paula

I just wanted to thank you again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with the Wakefern dietitians. It was really great how you engaged the audience and your presentation was excellent!!! Wakefern was very pleased!

Melissa

Tara is fantastic! She came to speak to my collegiate swim team today and the entire coaching staff and team was very impressed. She has a “real” approach that was refreshing and motivating. She answered many questions and got everyone excited about eating healthy. I highly recommend her.

Corrie

Everyone that attended LOVED your presentation. I appreciate that you included body, mind and spirit as that REALLY speaks to folks here.

Rosalyn

Everyone absolutely loved the Lunch and Learn….They are still talking about it!!

Beth

I want to let you know that I feel like your guidance has completely changed my life. I have never felt stronger and more healthy. I have lost 15 lbs…I am not suffering or practicing denial. I am in tune with my body and am satisfied with what I’m eating – delicious, nutritious, whole meals. It’s so fun to get dressed! Being fit no longer feels like an unattainable goal, but a state of being that I get to celebrate every day.

Bekah

Tara quite literally changed my life, but she won’t take credit for it. At the very least, she gave me the tools to change my life and support along the way. I lost 16 pounds and have kept it off for a year, but more importantly, I feel in control of food in my life. I’m not on any meal plan anymore, but I know how to eat in a way that nourishes my body, gives me energy, and keeps my weight stable.

Ashley

I have spent years of dieting…losing and gaining back the same 10-15 lbs over and over. I couldn’t count “points” again, and knew I needed practical and personal “one on one” guidance to help me reach my goals. It’s not that I didn’t know how to eat healthy, but finding the balance when cooking for a family, traveling, holidays and eating out was a huge challenge for me. With Tara’s guidance and analysis of my diet, health needs, shopping habits and lifestyle, she came up with a plan that included menus, recipes and practical advice that helped me reach my goals.

Katy

I’ve tried tons of diets but the bottom-line is that people can diet to lose weight BUT after diets are over, it is difficult to keep the weight off. Tara taught me how to turn bad eating habits into healthy choices without feeling like I had to drastically change my life and the weightloss has come naturally.

Tiffany

Something in the way Tara presented things got me to change. I am FINALLY doing everything I have always wanted to do but could never stick with and have been consistent all year. I feel the BEST I have ever felt!”

Brittany

I just have to say how thankful I am for everything I have learned from you! This is the first time I have ever been as confident and happy in my choices...

You have literally changed my life so Thank You!!

Chelsea

One thing that has been great is the freedom I feel! Food can often make me feel trapped and powerless. This first week gives me hope that it doesn't have to be like that!

Janette

I can’t say enough great things about Tara. She truly looks at the individual and does not try to force one cookie-cutter treatment on to everyone.

She is extremely knowledgeable and is always willing to do research if there is something she is not familiar with.

Whether you’re looking to lose weight, train for a big event, or just get your health/allergies in line, Tara is awesome. I would recommend her to anyone.

Amy W.

I was recently having a reaction to a Vega product that no one had ever heard of and was trying to figure out what was going on with my body. after calling my Dr., the pharmacy, GNC, and whole foods i decided to look up nutritionists on yelp and found tara. she was straight forward and honest and took the time to look up the ingredients and discuss them with me even though i was not her client. she answered my questions more thoroughly than any one i had talked to and suggested some alternate options i could go with. i am VERY grateful!! thank you so much tara! i will definitely send people her way and will be sure to use her if i am ever in need of nutritional counseling!

Keirsten C.

Tara is awesome. I found Tara on Yelp and sent her an email after hours (6 or 7pm) regarding some issues I was having due to my training. Not only did she get back to me early the next morning she gave me all the answers I was looking for via several emails and set me up with a source for the vitamins we determined I was missing in my diet. She even provided a complimentary consultation to talk about what was going on with me. No pressure to pay for any of her other services.

Thanks Tara. I’m feeling much better.

Joey D.

Tara rocks! I went in for my free consultation and she was SO HELPFUL!! We went over my daily eating log and she immediately identified my growth areas and provided over 15 super useful suggestions for ways to tweak my eating habits. She showed me 5 websites for recipe ideas and ways to streamline my weekly eating routine so I don’t run to sugar for a quick fix. As a new vegetarian, she gave me great ideas on how to ensure I get all of my vitamins and ways to be successful as a vegetarian. She’s also a great listener and so easy to talk to. I feel so comfortable talking to Tara. Thanks for all of your help, Tara!!

Nicole S.

I was searching yelp for a highly rated nutritionist and found Tara. I went in for a consultation and was very impressed with everything she said. My situation was a bit complex so I knew whomever I hired would not only have their hands full but would really have to listen and care if they were going to help me. I got exactly what I was looking for. She is soooo easy to work with, experienced, and very knowledgeable. She really KNOWS her business and I feel lucky to have her opinion when I need it. She really helped me A LOT and was worth every penny. If you’re thinking about hiring someone I highly recommend Tara, not just because of her advice, but because she really looked out for my best interest and she’ll do the same for you.

Joe O.

I’ve always known that I need to be healthier, but didn’t have the tools or knowledge to do it. Tara has educated me to make decisions for myself. Instead of planning out a daily meal plan (which she does do), I wanted her to empower me to make my own decisions on a daily basis. She has taught me a lot in the past couple of months, and I have seen great results. Besides losing body fat, I actually feel a lot better. We identified foods that were giving me stomach issues, and added foods that me feel better. I have more energy and feel better than I have in years.

Daniel N.

I was looking to loose some weight before my wedding and was introduced to Tara. She tested my metabolism then created a personalized meal plan based on the foods I love to eat and the places I like to shop. I was able to stick to the meal plan and checked in with Tara once week to see my progress. I was able to meet my goal weight, and best of all I now have to tools to continue to manage my weight.

Jackie W.

Tara is an amazing nutritionist!! She really knows her stuff. She makes customized meal plans to fit you and they include eating out so they are not hard to follow at all. I highly recommend her, she is a really nice person too! You won’t regret calling her 🙂

Sarah H.

Not only is Tara a passionate about helping people when it comes to Health and Fitness, but she lives it. I really do appreciate her knowledge in a Healthy way of living, and how she customizes a nutrition plan for you that is realistic and manageable. She is awesome. I am much more enthusiastic about working out and not feeling guilty about what I eat. I am much closer to my ideal weight goal and its only been a couple months since I started on the routine.

Dearin C.

I just have to say how thankful I am for everything I have learned from you! As we are well into January I can’t tell you how many people are on keto, whole 30, no carbs, blah blah blah. This is the first time I have ever been as confident and happy in my choices. Thank you for providing me with the tools to have a happy, healthy, SUSTAINABLE relationship with food! I am just ecstatic that when everyone around me is trying to restrict, I am happy and confident in my choices to enjoy! You have literally changed my life! So thank you!
