“During my first few minutes meeting Ellen, I was immediately struck by her warmth and grace. I have never met a nutritionist who was as helpful, supportive, and knowledgeable as her. She got me into the habit of label reading, food journaling – and asking for help when I need it . I’ve reached out to her countless times when I was struggling, and she has always met me with empathy and guidance. I am so very grateful to have met and worked with her!!”

“Ellen, looking back on the past year and 100 pounds ago, it is incredible to think that sustainable weight loss and overall health would have been so simple. Friends I haven’t seen in years were shocked when I convinced them I hadn’t undergone medical treatments or procedures, nor bought magic pills. I’ve simply learned that eating REAL FOOD makes all the difference. Thank you for your support and for guiding me back to health.”
— Mike E.
“After doing extensive research on why I was constantly sick with stomach aches, I stumbled upon Ellen and went in for a consultation. Eight years later, I still keep in touch with her for all my nutrition and wellness needs. She taught me so much more than just needing to change my diet; she taught me how foods effect so many aspects of my life. Following her advice, my skin cleared up, I had more energy, I began sleeping better & I stopped getting stomach aches after years of pain. Ellen loves educating and sharing her wisdom to truly make her clients understand and learn about the importance of nutrition.”
