Theresa was great. She helped me to understand and maintain healthy eating habits. She gave me different options for eating better, which are realistic and easy to follow. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again!!

I found Theresa through google and after reading all the good reviews I decided to give her a chance. Theresa accepted to have me and my husband at the same table. She listened to our food problems and future goals and gave us boundaries to change our food routine. Being both foodie people, we never felt we had to compromise much, we are still able to go to restaurants and enjoy every meal, we added some more ingredients and limited others, we still cook with friends and enjoy overall every meal. In 3 month I lost 16 lb while my husband lost 20 lb. We feel much more active and healthy, and I can't thank Theresa enough!

Extremely knowledgeable and professional, Theresa delivered a personalized nutrition plan that helped me get back in shape after my third pregnancy without starving myself and while increasing my energy levels. She was thorough in her consultation and listened to my concerns. I also loved how she provided plenty of information post consultation that I could use for reference.

Theresa is a genius! Helped me get past a plateau I'd been stuck at for a year, and I'm still losing several months later! Most effective nutrition plan I've tried for losing weight consistently and steadily. And, Theresa is there to support you the whole way - great at responding to texts and emails with a little motivation when you need it!

I have been through four dietitians within the last year prior to going to Philly Dietitian. Many of my previous experiences with them were primarily that they would just give me foods that I should eat in order to lose weight but never really talked about my understanding and relationship with food. I was referred to Philly Dietitian by my colleague and my experience has been nothing short of AMAZING. Philly Dietitian's has a pleasant demeanor, is engaging and is extremely responsive outside of your session if you have questions, and this intensified my positive experience. I can tell you that your sessions will be extremely productive and filled with conversations about how to make adjustments to your eating in stages. She is extremely knowledgeable about food, and was able to help me navigate my fitness schedule and food so that I'm not left feeling depleted. I was tired of being on a diet and Philly Dietitian counseled me on how to truly have food balance and still enjoy food. I quickly adapted to her approach and vision because it didn't feel like a diet and I could still have my treats but through planning and in moderation. Within the first few weeks I lost 10 pounds by making some of her adjustments. If you truly want to change your relationship with food and make a lifestyle change, Philly Dietitian is the place to go. I no longer feel hunger and have lots of energy. Please check her out of you truly want to make a change in your life. Health is Wealth.

I started working with Theresa a few months ago after I had spent years being sent from doctor to doctor trying to figure out the root of my stomach aches. After thousands of dollars and a false diagnosis, I finally decided to see a dietitian which was where I should have started all along! Theresa has been so supportive in the process of figuring out what foods my stomach is intolerant of. She is incredibly knowledgeable, answers texts and e-mails quickly, and is sensitive to the fact that our gut affects every area of our life and this process can be overwhelming. Theresa also was able to see that years of being let down by doctors had led me to develop an unhealthy mentality around food and offered resources to get my relationship to eating back on track. If anyone is suffering from tummy troubles, start with Theresa before making your way down the list of GI specialists and tests. You won't regret it!

Earlier in the year I was in a funk, not in regards to fitness but healthy eating.
I knew what I needed to do, but needed an extra push. After researching Philadelphia-based dieticians, reading client reviews, and checking who was in-network, I contacted Theresa.
Her approach is honest and realistic; she does not push gimmicks or diets. Her goal is to provide clients with healthy and manageable lifestyle changes, in the form of nutrition.
There were hurdles I needed to overcome, however she was able to provide positive guidance along the way. When I communicated to her about a rough day or week, she never made me feel guilty or ashamed.
With all that was mentioned, I highly recommend Theresa!

I have been on the diet trail for a while. Loosing weight but not able to maintain the weight loss. After meeting Theresa in January, we developed a plan that worked for me. I am able to identify the foods that work with my weight loss program. I am Jamaican and she allowed me to cook with the spices that gives the food the flavor I enjoy. My relationship with food has changed and I have lost 19 pounds and counting......

I went to Theresa for help with switching my diet to one that's more cholesterol friendly. I wanted to switch to a pescatarian diet and limit my dairy significantly. I found I needed a more strict routine to get me started rather than just boundaries, and she quickly had a plan in place for me. I went to see my cardiologist and after only a few months my cholesterol dropped by 30%! Thank you Theresa for all of your help! I still want to roam the aisles of Whole Foods with you to talk food.

I have been working with Theresa for a few months. She gave me a great framework that, in combination with my new resolve to stick with it, has made a real difference and resulted in a significant weight loss. The boundaries she helped me set have been sustainable and I rarely feel hungry! I feel confident this new approach to eating will help me continue to lose weight and maintain it in a healthy way. Theresa is readily available via email, text, or phone for support.

Before I went to a dietitian, I was nervous that I would need to completely change my lifestyle and not be able to eat the things I enjoy. Theresa really works within your boundaries and helps to create a manageable plan that doesn't feel overwhelming. I feel so much better than I did when I first started seeing Theresa and am thrilled to continue my journey.

Theresa has been highly instrumental in my path to recovery from an eating disorder. She has been extremely supportive and encouraging of my recovery, and not only does she provide me with nutritional education, she also reviews mindfulness practices with me. She is also very empathetic and inspires me to have the confidence in myself that I'm sometimes lacking. I have been suffering in silence for so many years, but Theresa has truly changed my life and I haven't felt better! Whatever type of nutritional services you need, I would highly recommend you seek guidance from Theresa.

Over the past seven months, Theresa has guided me towards a healthy and balanced relationship with food and fitness. I only wish I had worked with her earlier in my life. She is an incredible listener and works with you as an individual, not as a person who fits a "cookie cutter" nutrition plan. I have worked with many professionals and no one truly listened to me - Theresa hears your concerns, understands your challenges, appreciates that we are human and life is meant to be lived - she works WITH you to craft a lifestyle around food and fitness that is reasonable and maintainable.

I initially contacted Theresa to help shed the baby weight I had gained after my first child. She was willing to meet in my office in center city which was very conveninent for me. Her approach towards changing my eating habits was sensible and with her guidance I have lost all my baby weight and more. My meetings with her helped motivate me and I had accountability towards reaching my goal. I would highly recommend her services and she was very pleasant to work with!

Theresa is truly great RD. If you are looking for someone to teach you and truly learn how to eat as though it's not a "diet" but "lifestyle" change, she is your girl. Theresa, understands people who live in center city and enjoy trying the restaurants (like me) and she will teach you how to enjoy all these foods, while loosing weight and staying fit. She puts together a lifestyle plan that works BEST for you and only you! Theresa is always available to talk and encourages you along the way! If you are looking to still have a glass of wine; but loose those pounds, I HIGHLY suggest Theresa. As well, she makes plans that are easy, achievable and you can TRULY be honest with her with foods you can give lessen up with during the week and foods you need, she will be sure to incorporate them in your plan! Best part is, she will feel like your friend and buddy! I've seen results and been so pleased with my new eating habits! Thanks Theresa!

I set up an appointment with Theresa when I decided i needed help with weight management. She taught me to have boundaries with food and to make healthy choices without demonizing food that I would normally indulge on. 37 days later and I just hit my 20lbs down mark and I haven't felt this good in years. Theresa is available via text or email and will always respond to your concerns or if you need a new recipe! One of the best choices I have made was to get outside help with a supportive and encouraging dietician! Call her!

I've been working with Theresa over the past few months and she has been amazing. She is knowledgeable and does not recommend anything that she has not tried herself. No matter what your lifestyle is, she is able to customize a meal plan to fit your pace throughout the day. She teaches that it is not a diet but a complete mental overhaul in how you think about what you eat. I have lost 15+ pounds within only two months and would highly recommend paying her a visit.

If I could give Theresa 10 stars I would. I found Theresa one day as I was so desperately searching the web looking for the right person or place to help with my nutrition/weight issue. After reading the awesome reviews, I reached out to her for an appointment. That was almost 3 months ago, and I am now down 24 lbs (Yay Me:) a few more to go to goal but that's not a problem, I'll get there:) Theresa has helped me with my sugar addiction and my LOVE of cheese. which I thought I'd never conquer. For me, accountability is key and when she told me she is an email or a text away and insists that you reach out to her with any issues, I knew I made the right choice. Thank you Theresa for making me like that person looking back at me in the mirror!!!

Theresa is awesome! She customizes everything just for you. You will not be pawned off with diets that worked for others nor will you be forced to try and eat foods you do not enjoy. Theresa is flexible and goes over and beyond meetings to make sure you are striving towards your goals. My experience reshaped my food intake (food brain) and allowed me to learn how to monitor, within reason, the food I was consuming. I feel healthier and still enjoy many of the same foods I did before.

I have been seeing Theresa for a few months and highly recommend her services! Before seeing Theresa, I was stuck in a cycle of eating the same semi-nutritious foods daily. Theresa helped me create a stress-free and manageable meal plan that allows for variety. She encourages me to try new foods between visits and helps me expand my meal choices. I feel healthier, happier, and less anxious about making smart food choices. If you want to learn more about nutrition or how to make healthier life choices I recommend contacting Theresa!

I've been working with Theresa for almost a year, and it has been an absolute pleasure to be her client. I've had many personal ups and downs during that time, but Theresa has been there to support me every step of the way. She's given me tough love when I needed it, and positive encouragement when I needed it. The accountability I've received from her has been life-saving. Theresa has helped me make better food choices in some of the most challenging situations, and I'm incredibly grateful for that.
Theresa is easy to talk to, she's committed to her clients, and she's a true expert in nutrition. She has helped me move in the right direction, and I'm excited to continue forward with her guidance. I would highly recommend Theresa to anyone who wants to eat better, live better, and improve their health.
