Tara Coleman, Clinical Nutritionist's Online Review Report Card

This review is long overdue. Tara is fantastic. I have shared my very positive experience with her with everyone in my personal circle and really should have left a review forever ago. It is clear that she is in the right profession. Not only is she so intelligent and an expert in her field but she shares knowledge in an approachable way, little rid bits of information in each session that gives you just enough to focus on a realistic goal with a positive outlook without feeling like you're drowning in information. In an age with endless information online, she cuts through the BS and gives you a tailored and well researched (and very effective) way to take back your relationship with food in a healthy mindful way without feeling restrictive or punitive. It's taken me 30 years to finally have a good relationship with food and take back my health. I have failed many many times to do it alone and without Tara I'm sure I would've continued that cycle without seeing the long term progress I craved. If you are on the fence about reaching out to her for a consultation, you will not regret it!!

I just wish I would've met Tara and worked with her sooner!!! One of my favorite things she said was "she can promise that you'll be hungry, every date, several times a day, for the rest of your life"; it's such an investment to be able to learn how to eat for YOUR body. There is so much information out there. I really enjoyed her science-based approach and how she tailored plans to what I like to eat. It didn't feel like I was making a major change, but it was so effective. I would recommend Tara to everyone I know.

Tara is awesome!!! I went to her to make sure I was on the right path to improving my nutritional habits and she exceeded expectations. Highly recommend booking with her if you have any doubts, concerns, or questions about your diet/nutrition.

I am finally off the roller coaster! I have tried every fad diet under the sun and I find that if I stick to the rules, they usually work for weight loss. But I'm miserable the whole time and as soon as the weight is off, I ditch the diet and go back to whatever I was doing before. And the cycle continues. Until I met Tara. I wanted to make sensible, healthy, sustainable changes to my lifestyle, and to learn how to think differently about food and eating. This is what Tara is all about. Over the course of 4 months, my weight, body fat, and inches went down, and my metabolism, muscle weight, and muscle quality went up (yes, she'll measure all those things for you if you want!) Changes have been gradual- not radical- but SUSTAINABLE! I didn't feel deprived. I didn't eat gross diet foods or an all-meat diet (yuck). Indulging is ok, but I learned how and when to do it. Tara helped me shift my mindset and feel more confident in myself and my abilities to make the right choices. She is realistic about what day-to-day life is like for most of us, and she offers up suggestions for changes that don't add a bunch of extra time or work to your already busy schedule. I am so grateful for her and can't recommend her highly enough!

Tara helped me sort through all the nutritional knowledge acquired in my 50+ years while helping me understand the emotional aspect of my food choices. She is more than a meal planner; she provided me with the insight as to why I make the food choices I do. The difference was with her personalized approach and her ability to see and understand my needs. After working with Tara for 6 months, I confidently navigated various situations with success. I feel better thanks to Tara!

Tara is extremely knowledgeable, fun to work with, and approachable. She helped me think about food to support improvement in my physical and mental health. Our work together is helping me regularly meet goals my specialist has set for me. It’s been truly life changing. She listened to my concerns and preferences and we collaborated to find an approach that is working for me long-term, and I think will be sustainable. 10/10, would recommend!

I contacted Tara to get some help with lowering my cholesterol and PSA levels. She was terrific to work with. In one meeting she was able to give me a very detailed set of dietary changes, supplements, etc. to accomplish both of these goals. She's very professional and informed about current research in nutrition. This is really important because there is so much disinformation about these issues on-line. I couldn't have been happier with my consultation, and look forward to working with her again in the future.

At a time when so many of us struggle with food and emotional eating, I have found Tara to be a port in that "storm" for me. I have learned not to use food as a reward or to think of it in negative ways but more to think of it as sustenance and something to be enjoyed. I will continue to utilize Tara in my food journey and soak in her wisdom and shared knowledge. Thanks Tara. You rock!!

Tara was amazingly supportive and really met me where I was. She gave good guidance and shared her knowledge freely to help me think differently about nutrition. She has been invaluable to me in my “food” journey and I will continue to utilize her.

I've had a great experience working with Tara on my nutrition. She has taught me how to eat in a way that is satisfying and not depriving. I'm now seeing this new way of eating as a way of life, instead of a diet, which has really stuck with me. Before working with Tara I would diet, lose weight, then give up and gain it all back again. With Tara's guidance, I have lost weight, kept it off, and continue to lose weight without feeling deprived. I see food differently now, and I know I always have the tools to go back to if I deviate from my plan while on vacation, etc.
