About Tara
Welcome!! I am Tara, a registered dietitian with 15 years of practice. I focus on helping YOU make the changes that you desire. I put YOU in the drivers seat with plenty of support and tools to assist you in reaching your goals... and to keep them. I have worked in bariatrics, general medicine, geriatrics, renal care, diabetes, rehabilitation, sports nutrition, disordered eating and general weight gain and loss. I received my Masters degree from Texas Tech University with a focus on sports nutrition. "Sports Nutrition" to me can mean a goal to hit that weekly yoga class, go on a daily walk, lift weights, or be a collegiate athlete. I have a certificate in Group Exercise Leadership and support the "move your body" approach to lifestyle as able.
Approach to care
My approach to care is to focus on the entire lifestyle. I can assist you in making small or large changes that you desire and learning how to incorporate them into YOUR life. I believe "healthy" can be at any size and I love to see my clients set and achieve their goals. "Success" to me is measured by me providing you with the knowledge and tools you can takeaway to create a healthier lifestyle for yourself.
Your first session with Tara
In our first session, I let you take the drivers seat with finding out what you wish to change or improve. Perhaps it is to decrease your blood pressure, increase your running PR, learn how to select the best choices for you and your family at the grocery store, stop emotional eating patterns, assist in blood sugar control, or lose those last pesky 10 pounds. Maybe you are not even sure the goal yet...you just know that things need to change...I can help with setting and achieving those goals as well.
