Hi! I'm Tara, your Keto obsessed, Certified Nutrition Coach.
Let's get one thing straight...healthy never came natural to me. Unfortunately, I was never super genetically blessed in the weight department. I gained weight at the drop of a bagel and at the glance of a perfectly delicious loaf of sourdough bread (le sigh). My weight gain was always very quickly visible on my 5'4 frame - something I was very self-conscious about for most of my life.
I had always eaten a diet consisting primarily of processed packaged snacks, refined carbohydrates & sugar. Mind you, this was of no fault to anyone - this was just the standard American diet! I constantly experienced chronic inflammation, bloat, digestive issues, horrible mood swings, depression, anxiety, ovarian cysts, severe asthma and over time - constant weight gain. I had zero idea that these health issues were related to my diet and lifestyle.
I would start diet after diet and always quit 1-2 weeks in, without fail. I assumed healthy was just "hard" and unattainable. I ultimately accepted that gaining weight and feeling like complete crap was just "normal" as you got older. After a milestone birthday, however, I was scrolling through pictures from my birthday gathering. Mid scroll - I stopped dead in my tracks. Was that unhappy, overweight, insecure girl really ME? How did I not notice what was happening right before my very eyes? I had let myself gain over 30 pounds. I couldn't remember the last time I was truly happy. I felt truly lost and I had felt that for a very long time. That was IT! I needed a long-term solution and I needed it quick.
Enter the Keto Diet.
Cheese, bacon, salads, lettuce wrapped burgers, steak, veggies?! Did I say cheese?! I researched Keto until my eyes blurred. Did I just uncover the yummiest diet EVER?!
I decided to begin immediately. Long story short - 2 years later, I'm almost 50 pounds down and my life has done a complete 180. I've adopted a ketogenic lifestyle that I've learned to sustain (making this so much more than a diet) and I feel the best I've ever felt. I'd write every juicy detail for you but I'll let you experience that for yourself since you are about to embark on a transformative ketogenic journey of your own!
OK, OK...here are some sneak peeks of things you may experience:
So why work with a dedicated Keto Coach if you can google the keto diet yourself? Well, for one - I approach ketogenic eating very differently, as said before. I make keto adaptable according to your lifestyle, personal preferences and personal health goals. Keto isn't a one size fit all regimen, it can look very different from person to person. For two - health & fat loss journeys aren't easy! When you learn to nourish & fuel your body properly (and in a more body-loving way), food won't be used as your band-aid anymore - your crutch. You'll be forced to face emotions, stressors and well, the hard stuff without turning to kit kats & a big ole bowl of pasta. Times will get tough during your fat loss journey, your brain WILL play tricks on you and you'll almost certainly want to give up (because your brain will tell you to).
That's where I come in! As your dedicated Coach, I provide personalized support and accountability to ensure that you keep going and get the results you truly deserve. Together, we'll work through those limiting thoughts, beliefs, stalls and frustrations. We'll discuss healthy ways to balance stress when the front rolls in. We'll connect regularly and properly celebrate your wins, too! (Because babe, there will be PLENTY of those!) We'll adjust your plan as needed to ensure you are getting the most out of your new lifestyle. And last, but certainly not least, you'll be left with a framework for a totally sustainable ketogenic lifestyle vs. a quick fix diet.
If any of this sounds exciting, you're in the right place.
If any of this sounds scary, you're really in the right place.
Progress cannot happen without change! Transformation cannot occur without discomfort. Let me be your guide through all of this.

OK, OK...here are some sneak peeks of things you may experience:
- Increased confidence & an immense positive mental shift.
- Energy for yourself, for LIFE & for your loved ones again (imagine chasing your kids/dog/cat/hamster/chia pet without getting winded. With keto, you'll feel like the energizer bunny without needing a mid-day nap!)
- Your sexy-ass clothes finally fitting again.
- That pesky number on the scale DROP and be GONE.
- Your body fat literally shedding off (along with old layers of emotional baggage that you've been holding onto as well). You'll also be lowering your insulin to allow your body to constantly be in fat burning mode (but more on that later!)
- REALLY delicious food completely free of guilt & shame!
- A plan to make the keto "diet" a sustainable "lifestyle"! (Yes, I'm totally flexible with the ketogenic framework. I won't let you feel restricted & in a corner with your celery stalks. I approach keto in a completely unique way what you won't find in a book or on Instagram).
