I really appreciate you rectifying the situation for me. The holidays aren't the best time I practice portion control. Also, I don't want to make losing weight a New Year's resolution. I want to make eating better a goal rather it is New Year's or not. I needed a nutritionist like yourself to help and you did. Thank You!

My experience with Ms Muhammad was wonderful and very, very beneficial. She was able to quickly identify problem areas and provide solutions for me which are doable and pragmatic. She gave me vital information I can use for the rest of my life in managing my situation. She is very professional, knowledgeable, personable, and an excellent listner. She answered all of my questions and I am so glad I was able to meet with her and would highly recommend her.

Ellen was great at meeting me where I was and helping me build on the skills that I currently have, while also providing insight and education about other routes I can take in my journey to better health. Ellen was personable, nonjudgemental, knowledgeable, and very validating--which is so important when we're talking about changing lifestyle habits/patterns. Highly recommend!

Ellen Muhammad was fantastic! My daughter and I booked the appointment to discuss a recent report we received about her cholesterol levels. Ellen exceeded my expectations during our time together! I participated mostly as a listener, as this was for my daughter, and Ellen was extremely graceful and kind in her approach to get to know my daughter in a real and authentic way, listen closely and carefully and respond to her questions. But not only did she have great rapport, she provided a TON of information to us as well, and still had time to answer my daughter's very detailed questions! None of

After being told for most of my life that I had a "terrible diet", and then finally realizing this was indeed true in my mid thirties, I decided to finally see a Nutritionist. Thus, Ellen was the first professional I consulted regarding my diet, my low energy levels, my hair falling out, weight gain, GI issues, and general, persistent exhaustion. I wrote on my intake form that "I feel so tired all the time. I am missing out on my life." Ellen shared so much helpful information about what my diet should and could look like with some small, mindful changes. I knew I wasn't eating well, but she helped

Today, I had a 60 minute consultation with Ellen, and she provided SO much information and really personalized it for me. You can tell she listens and really takes into account everything about you and uses that to create a personalized plan for how to reach your goals. She made me feel very comfortable opening up to her about my history regarding food and wellness, and just overall made a very safe space. She is excellent at what she does, and I am excited to incorporate this new information into my day to day routine!
