About Tamara

I have a Master’s degree in Nutrition from Penn State and specialize in weight management and geriatric nutrition. My approach is personal and supportive—creating individualized meal plans, offering client-centered counseling, and providing ongoing coaching to help you succeed. I’m passionate about the Mediterranean diet, love cooking healthy recipes, and believe exercise is key to a vibrant life. My goal is to inspire and guide you toward a balanced, enjoyable, and sustainable healthy lifestyle.

Approach to care

I guide clients toward lasting health through a balanced, sustainable approach to nutrition and exercise. My style blends evidence-based science with intuitive eating, mindful habits, and culturally inclusive meal plans—from Mediterranean to globally inspired cuisines. Through client-centered care, I tailor strategies to each individual’s lifestyle and goals, fostering a positive relationship with food and empowering long-term wellness.
