Tara’s Ideal Client
Tara enjoys working with clients who are open-minded and likes to take a holistic approach to health.
Nutrition and health look different for everyone and she wants to work collaboratively with clients to
achieve their personal goals.
Why is Tara a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist?
Tara was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at 19 and was never exposed to nutrition
support. After struggling to navigate dietary changes on her own throughout the years,
she wanted to help others and provide the support and guidance she didn’t have. Once
she had her son and he was diagnosed with multiple food allergies, she became even
more passionate about nutrition and went back to school to change careers and
become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
I believe it is important for clients to give themselves
grace throughout the process and celebrate every step, because meeting even the
smallest goal marks significant change.
How does Tara stay healthy?
Tara loves taking walks and hiking with her husband. She enjoys eating a variety of
foods, strives for balance with no foods off limits, and works to listen to and understand
her body’s response to food. With her IBD, she focuses on fiber and is fascinated by the
gut microbiome and its impact on overall health. Tara loves cooking, baking, trying new
recipes, and coming together at the dinner table with her family at the end of the day.
What else should you know about Tara?
Tara lives in Fountain Hills with her husband, son, and dog. She enjoys watching her
son swim, play basketball, and golf. She loves to try new restaurants, travel, and create
memories with her family.
