I am a clinical nutritionist who has spent the last 15 years helping thousands of people just like you understand their body, eat with confidence and live the healthy life they desire. If you are sick of feeling overwhelmed, falling off track or jumping from one diet to another, you are in the right place.
I can't wait to meet you! Tara quite literally changed my life, but she won't take credit for it. At the very least, she gave me the tools to change my life and support along the way. I lost 16 pounds and have kept it off for a year, but more importantly, I feel in control of food in my life. Getting a handle on my food is life changing.

Tara has been such a great help to not only myself but my daughter. She had helped me with a plan and recommendations to lower my cholesterol and she has also helped us with our daughter's digestive issues. Her recommendations for her have helped her tremendously in eliminating her stomach pains she was experiencing periodically. I would highly recommend Tara!

I have been a client of Tara's for 6 months and I have found her services to be spectacular! I met with Tara on a weekly basis over video chat. This worked really well for my busy work and travel schedule. She created an easy to follow nutrition plan that was tailored to my busy and on the go lifestyle. She also helped me make some overall lifestyle changes that significantly impacted my eating habits. Tara is incredibly responsive, kind, open, and warm. She is also very realistic and helps you to reach your goals without cutting out all of the joy in life! Would highly highly recommend!

I found Tara through Yelp and I'm glad I did. I was able to schedule a consultation quickly. I think her prices are great and she does have payment plans for some of her services. Soon after my first appointment I decided to go ahead and complete Metabolic Testing and also had a Meal Plan created. The metabolic test was a real eye opener and I'm so happy I completed the test.
Tara explains everything and answered all my questions. She really takes time to get to know you and your lifestyle to put together the best meal plan for you. I highly suggest visiting Tara if you need help with

I went to Tara to get my nutrition in check/actually pay attention to what I'm putting in my body and how its impacting me. She was super friendly, respectful, and made sure I understood everything she was talking about. The best part is that she didnt tell me I had to cut out crispy potatoes and pizza. She asked a lot of questions about what I eat, my activity level, and my goals. She was super supportive and made sure my goals were realistic and attainable. She help me accountable. Best of all she didn't judge me for anything I said or did. If I had a bad week of (and I had plenty in

I started working with Tara 6 or 7 months before my wedding. I had high hopes that the pounds would drop off the minute I walked in the door. Well, that is not how life works. Luckily, Tara knew this life fact. She was so knowledgeable and empowered me to hit my weight loss goals. I learned to have a different relationship with food and nutrition. I am so grateful for her Tara's knowledge, patience and humor. She gave me a great meal plan that was easy to follow for a busy schedule ( and a picking eating finance). I am happy to report that "we" hit our goal. I say "we"

I found Tara's advice to be extremely helpful. She helped demystify my understanding of how to improve my diet and overall health. Her warm, genuine and intelligent manner made it easy to ask questions and obtain the answers I needed. And though I had several questions to ask, she found a way to address them all thoroughly during our appointment.
Tara also has an engaging enewsletter with helpful tips about nutrition!
What comes across in all her communications is that she genuinely cares about helping 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

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

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

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 yelp 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

I was about 25lbs overweight, and had grown increasingly stressed and tired. Knowing that something had to change, I started poking around online and googled, "Nutritionist" and "San Diego," and Tara's name popped up in several places. I came here to Yelp and saw that her reviews were really positive, and even though I doubted that I actually had the willpower to change the way that I was eating (I LOVE FOOD), I took the plunge and emailed her to set up an appointment.

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 Yelp. 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

I just logged onto Yelp 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

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

When I first went to see Tara I was recovering from so many years of dieting that I felt like I didn't know how to eat like a "normal person," which is what I told Tara. I wanted to lose weight, but more than that, I wanted to feel like I didn't have to be afraid of food anymore, that I understood it and knew how to feed myself healthfully.
I signed up for a 3 month plan. Tara more than exceeded my expectations. She listened to me about my likes and dislikes, specific and hectic schedule, and my hopes and fears. We met once a week for 3 months and continued to meet once
