Tara Coleman

I was searching Unilocal for a highly rated nutritionist and found Tara. I went in for a consultation and was very impressed with everything she said. My situation was a bit complex so I knew whomever I hired would not only have their hands full but would really have to listen and care if they were going to help me. I got exactly what I was looking for. She is soooo easy to work with, experienced, and very knowledgeable. She really KNOWS her business and I feel lucky to have her opinion when I need it. She really helped me A LOT and was worth every penny. If you’re thinking about hiring someone I highly recommend Tara, not just because of her advice, but because she really looked out for my best interest and she’ll do the same for you.

I enjoyed meeting with Tara and I like her personality. I was impressed with the amount of work that went into the initial plan after the consultation. The packet was both informative and interesting. I was looking for a more comprehensive plan that included lots of support, check-​ins, fitness tips, and a clear road path to a goal. We had weekly check-​ins, but I didn’t feel they were customized exactly for me or that I was a top priority. I would suggest more tracking apps or feedback to improve results :)

Tara rocks! I went in for my free consultation and she was SO HELPFUL! We went over my daily eating log and she immediately identified my growth areas and provided over 15 super useful suggestions for ways to tweak my eating habits. She showed me 5 websites for recipe ideas and ways to streamline my weekly eating routine so I don’t run to sugar for a quick fix. As a new vegetarian, she gave me great ideas on how to ensure I get all of my vitamins and ways to be successful as a vegetarian. She’s also a great listener and so easy to talk to. I feel so comfortable talking to Tara. Thanks for all of your help, Tara!

Tara is fantastic. She listens well, knows her stuff, answers questions and really takes the time to put together a plan based on your needs and goals. She’s very results and detail oriented and sincerely wants to help you achieve your goals. Highly recommend. She does a free consultation, so nothing to lose by at least meeting with her to see for yourself.
As a bit more background for those who like details, I came to Tara because there was something preventing me from reaching my nutrition goals, so I decided to enlist some help. I’ve had digestive issues since I was a kid (IBS and lactose intolerance). I’ve mostly figured out how to manage and am generally a healthy eater as well as very slim (super fast metabolism). My goals were to increase my energy levels which would be more constant throughout the day versus periodic spikes/​crashes and also to better deal with digestive issues, especially when traveling and needing to eat out. I was also looking to gain a bit of mass, but previous diets involving tons of eating were horrible. I wanted to eat a more balanced and nutritionally rich healthy diet, but had trouble visualizing and understanding what various food offered and the right combinations to reach the above goals. I got together with Tara a couple times to establish and review a meal plan that showed the amounts of different foods (protein, carbs, fats) I needed and some suggested meals along with a few recipes even. Talking with Tara (and I also did a bit of research on my own) really got me past a wall where I feel much more energetic and satisfied meal-​wise that is natural and well balanced.

I have been struggling with my weight my whole life having tried numerous unrealistic diets throughout my high school years. The problem was not how much I are, but when and what I ate. I figured meeting with a nutritionist could guide me through the process of realizing what I am doing wrong and try to figure out strategies that would stay with me for the rest of my life.
Fortunately, I found Tara Coleman on google, and immediately made an appt with her. The first initial consultation was free. It is mostly to get to know Tara, and for her to know about your goals. What I liked about that session was the fact that I was not pressured into starting a program right away like how other diet plans force you too.
I have been meeting with Tara every week for the past month and ½ and I am very satisfied with my eating habits and the way I look.
Definitely recommend her if you need nutritional help.

Tara is awesome. I found Tara on Unilocal and sent her an email after hours (6 or 7pm) regarding some issues I was having due to my training. Not only did she get back to me early the next morning she gave me all the answers I was looking for via several emails and set me up with a source for the vitamins we determined I was missing in my diet. She even provided a complimentary consultation to talk about what was going on with me. No pressure to pay for any of her other services.
Thanks Tara. I’m feeling much better.

I can’t say enough great things about Tara. She truly looks at the individual and does not try to force one cookie-​cutter treatment on to everyone.
She is extremely knowledgeable and is always willing to do research if there is something she is not familiar with.
Whether you’re looking to lose weight, train for a big event, or just get your health/​allergies in line, Tara is awesome. I would recommend her to anyone.

I was recently having a reaction to a Vega product that no one had ever heard of and was trying to figure out what was going on with my body. after calling my Dr., the pharmacy, GNC, and whole foods i decided to look up nutritionists on Unilocal and found tara. she was straight forward and honest and took the time to look up the ingredients and discuss them with me even though i was not her client. she answered my questions more thoroughly than any one i had talked to and suggested some alternate options i could go with. i am VERY grateful! thank you so much tara! i will definitely send people her way and will be sure to use her if i am ever in need of nutritional counseling!

After I signed up for a 3 month pack I found that I had to remind Tara (a few times) to send over the meal plan so I could get started. She owned up to it the first time this happened and the second and third. It left me wondering, Am I not that important to her?, I was after all, a paying customer. I recently left her a message and guess what, no call back. Her advice and information was helpful… but not following through makes leery to recommend to friends.

I went to see Tara based on reviews I found on Unilocal.I have spent years of dieting… losing and gaining back the same 10 – 15 lbs over and over. I couldn’t count «points» again, and knew I needed practical and personal «one on one» guidance to help me reach my goals. It’s not that I didn’t know how to eat healthy, but finding the balance when cooking for a family, traveling, holidays and eating out was a huge challenge for me. With Tara’s guidance and analysis of my diet, health needs, shopping habits and lifestyle, she came up with a plan that included menus, recipes and practical advice that helped me eventually reach my goals.
Tara’s fees are really reasonable and she is accessible via email and phone calls whenever needed. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to make real dietary changes that will last a lifetime.

I just logged onto Unilocal and saw the last review was for Tara. I owe this girl a shout-​out. I was introduced to Tara last year when I hit a plateau in my fitness goals and determined that I needed to tweak my diet. I invested in three sessions with Tara and she did an initial counseling, analysis of my diet (including vitamin intake), and a thorough review of her suggestions with me. Tara’s plan included recipes, shopping suggestions based on stores I shop at, and plans for eating on the road.
I would highly recommend using Tara for nutritional guidance. She takes time to understand all of the factors in your diet (travel, eating out, the sweet you can’t live without…) and helps to build those things into your plan. The result is a diet that you can live with.
Tara is a true professional and will continue to receive my repeat business and referrals.

Tara is great! She makes you feel really comfortable and shes funny! She listens to you and helps you decide on what is best for your lifestyle and body. Her pricing is amazing! I look forward to working with her!

I am in the fitness testing business, and having a reliable and knowledgeable nutritionist that I can refer clients to is invaluable to me. I first met Tara almost three years ago, and have been referring clients to her ever since. The great thing about Tara is that she has a very real-​world approach to food. She’ll never tell you «don’t eat that»…she doesn’t believe in restriction. She’s much more interested in educating people to be able to make smart food choices no matter what circumstance they find themselves in. «Balance» is definitely a word in Tara’s vocabulary, and it’s all about finding the perfect balance for each individual she works with.
The best thing for me is knowing that any client I refer to Tara is going to be treated with respect, and she will do whatever she can to help them achieve their goals. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, gain lean mass, dial in your nutrition for an endurance event… Tara’s got you covered.
I’ve also been working personally with Tara for over two years, and with her help I’ve lost weight, trained for and competed in a half-​Ironman triathlon, and gained quite a bit of knowledge.

I’ve always known that I need to be healthier, but didn’t have the tools or knowledge to do it. Tara has educated me to make decisions for myself. Instead of planning out a daily meal plan (which she does do), I wanted her to empower me to make my own decisions on a daily basis. She has taught me a lot in the past couple of months, and I have seen great results. Besides losing body fat, I actually feel a lot better. We identified foods that were giving me stomach issues, and added foods that me feel better. I have more energy and feel better than I have in years.

Tara is an amazing nutritionist! She really knows her stuff. She makes customized meal plans to fit you and they include eating out so they are not hard to follow at all. I highly recommend her, she is a really nice person too! You won’t regret calling her :-)

You would be hard pressed to find a more realistic nutritionist to assist in your weight management goals. Call her and set up an appointment. She’ll set you on the right path.

Before I met Tara, my blood work was a mess. I made an appointment with her, she explained the results, and let me know that with dedication and effort I could reverse most of it. I signed up for her 3 month plan.
She designed my meal plan built around my lifestyle and goals, and checked in with me frequently. She really educated me on nutrition.
Three months later I was 15 lbs lighter, and most of my blood work was back to a normal range! An added bonus is that she can order those tests herself instead of your doctor. Very knowledgeable and friendly as well!
If you’re looking to get healthier, this is a great place to start!

The secret to weightloss is that there is no secret but there are a lot of factors that can help or inhibit losing weight. Tara customizes a nutritional plan based on how YOU work and she is very knowledgeable about the science of nutrition. The cool thing about Tara’s plans are that if there is something that you don’t like or are just tired of — she can give you hundreds of other suggestions.
I decided to see Tara because I had digestion issues and I wanted to lose some extra pounds. Within a few weeks of following the plan Tara created for me (which included eating out), I noticed a decrease in not only the stomach problems I was having but also a decrease in
skin break-​outs and irritability and a significant increase in energy.
I’ve tried tons of diets but the bottom-​line is that people can diet to lose weight BUT after diets are over, it is difficult to keep the weight off. Tara taught me how to turn bad eating habits into healthy choices without feeling like I had to drastically change my life and the weightloss has come naturally.
