Tara Michelle, Functional Health Practitioner's Online Review Report Card

I would absolutely recommend working with Tara. I am impressed with Tara's depth of knowledge and her willingness to research further if required. Everything is explained and understandable. The ease of talking with her and the no pressure approach makes for enjoyable and informative sessions. She is readily available to answer questions and suggest ideas. She is also a delightful young woman. My only regret is not working with Tara sooner!! I feel that I'm am on a path to a much more relaxed and healthy attitude towards food and fuelling my body. I do not worry about going out to eat or feel guilty about the piece of chocolate or ice cream after dinner. My new focus on giving my body what it needs including food, sleep, exercise and social activity has made me much more relaxed, content and happy!

My health has changed in countless ways as a result of working with Tara! Most importantly (and also most surprisingly) I'm sleeping so so much better, it's truly been a life changer! My rosacea and gut health have also both improved tremendously! Another large and surprising improvement has been my mental state, I feel so much more present and in my body, with much more mental clarity then I had before.

After years of being unable to consume gluten and dairy, I can finally have both with zero side affects. Gluten would cause blinding migraines and severe vomiting. Dairy caused intense abdominal pain. After working with Tara, my gut feels like it’s never known bad days. I did not even know it was possible. Not only that, but my energy is through the roof. I sleep wonderfully now. I wake up, refreshed and ready to conquer the busy day ahead. Tara has a wealth of knowledge to share with her clients, she said kind and supportive, and worth the money and dedication to her program.

After years of not feeling any better after working with a number of gastroenterology specialists and functional doctors, Tara worked with me to develop a plan that would help my gut heal. Not only that but the functional nutrition education I received and lifestyle recommendations I continued even after finishing Tara’s protocol were life changing. I used to be fearful of diets and supplement protocols without seeing an end in sight but I’m so grateful I trusted Tara and her own story of overcoming health challenges was inspiring to say the least. I believe that is what makes Tara stand out over other practitioners is her story and empathy! Now I can eat so many more foods, travel, and have knowledge that helps me when my digestion needs a little more support. Thanks Tara!

More than anyone I've talked to or been introduced to online, Tara understands that food is ultimately not the problem. But rather that your body's ability (or lack of ability) to process the food is the problem. She's foundational and scientific in her approach. She seeks true root causes. And she's with you every step of the way. She listens and is supportive. And will continue to work for you until you have the answers you need to feel healthy again. I feel the most consistently well I have felt in 15 years. My symptoms are remarkably better, both in severity and frequency. But honestly, knowing that I have the knowledge and the tools to solve the occasional flare ups that might occur down the road is the most beneficial thing I've taken away from this program.

Tara is very thorough in her analysis and recommendations. I felt completely heard by her and she addressed and/or improved absolutely all of my symptoms. It’s been about a year since I started working with her and my prior symptoms have not returned :) so beyond happy with the results. Highly recommend working with her!
