About Me

Hi, I'm Tara! I'm a Licensed and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, with a Master of Science in Nutrition and a second Master of Science in Leadership and have also completed a certificate program in Plant-Based Medicine from Cornell University. I am an avid athlete, and enjoy completing in CrossFit competitions throughout the year. My family and I also enjoy being out on the lake as much as we can to wake surf and wakeboard during the warm months of the year.

I specialize in teaching people how to eat, instead of just telling them what to eat. I embody building a healthy relationship with food, in that it should always add to your life versus your life revolve around food and food choices. Food truly is medicine, and together we can figure out what works best for you for where you are in your journey of life.

I specialize in management of various diseases, to include diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and kidney disease, as well as general wellness, weight concerns, and athletic performance. I am excited to work with clients to navigate the waters of nutrition that promotes their individual health and well-being!
