Testimonials
“My do-it-yourself approach was unsuccessful, which was why I reached out to Tepper Nutrition. Emma's knowledge, careful listening, and supportiveness was key to improving my health” SW
“My experience with Tepper Nutrition was great. I had recently slid back into some restrictive eating behaviors, and Emma helped me get back on track. She took time to create a personalized plan for me and would explain the science behind her recommendations, which helped me realize the importance of meeting my nutritional needs. Emma was constructive, and kind, and really helped me get to a place where I feel comfortable and capable of meeting my needs independently.” EB
“I'm very happy how Emma guided me, and supported me, through the low fodmap protocol while providing a meal plan outline that worked with my plant based diet. Thanks much!” TH
“Loved working with Emma as she showed me how to balance meals for health sake.”
“Emma is not only a highly competent nutritionist and dietitian, but is also kind and compassionate and truly cares for her clients. This made all the difference for me when she provided nutritional guidance while I was pregnant. I learned so much from her about proper eating schedules and how nutritional needs vary in pregnancy. Thank you, Emma!”
“Working with Emma was refreshing and provided the space I needed to explore my emotions around food. I got support and knowledge to help me move forward and begin eating intuitively.”
“I started with Tepper Nutrition because I was feeling stuck in my nutrition/hydration habits, had low energy for my athletic goals, and felt pushed that medication was the only option in managing PCOS related symptoms. Working with Emma has been wonderful! She is very personable and created an individualized plan that was specific and attainable with my work schedule and athletic goals. I never felt like I had to give up certain foods, but she worked with me in how to make more well-rounded choices. I feel more capable and confident in how to fuel my body for daily needs and sport related goals. Wish I had come to Tepper Nutrition sooner!!” EM
“Emma is fantastic- she builds rapport seamlessly, made me feel incredibly comfortable talking about something so hard, and kept me motivated even when it felt so difficult to keep going” BS
“When I first was diagnosed with Celiac Disease I knew I couldn’t rely on the internet for answers. I wanted a professional to guide me. Emma was not only that professional but she also had personal experience with the subject. Just what I needed and wanted. Emma provided professional clinical insight well balanced with her personal experience. After the first session, I knew I had someone to turn for my questions, fears and anxiety. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. But Emma did.” MR
