This past spring, I finally decided to take action after struggling with constipation and major…read moredigestive issues/symptoms for several years. I made a consultation appointment with Sarah and ended our call feeling hopeful about the future of my health and well-being for the first time ever. Six months later, I am a different person. I am finally not dealing with constant bloating/GI pain and distress, I know what to eat and how to nourish my body, and I can connect with my body more than ever before. Before deciding to begin my journey with Sarah, it always felt like "it wasn't the right time" for this type of commitment, but then I finally realized that there was no better time to start than now. I felt like I was always busy and had so many big life events coming up, so I almost let that stop me once again. However, I knew I didn't want to suffer any longer and I'm so glad I made that choice. Sarah worked with me around some of the biggest milestones of my life (my wedding, a big out of state move, our honeymoon, and several trips). I never felt like I had to hold myself back from these fun moments of life. Instead, Sarah empowered me and gave me the tools to take care of my body throughout these busy and exciting times. I feel so much more aware of my body and what it needs because of this experience. I can finally get through a day without extreme bloating, gas, and other GI pain. My energy levels have improved. I've learned how immensely my stress levels affect my health in so many ways and have been able to take control of that. I've become in touch with my body and what it needs and that is something I never would have been able to do without Sarah. Before this journey, I thought there could have been 100 different things wrong with me and truly believed I'd never get the answers. The labs Sarah orders and interprets are truly top notch and worth every penny. It was so incredible to learn what was really going on in my body and exactly what we were going to do to fix it and optimize my health. If you are thinking about working with Sarah, you won't regret it. Her program is personalized to YOU and she is beyond committed to helping you achieve your health goals and helping you feel empowered along the way. I will forever be grateful for Sarah and this experience. It has truly changed my relationship with my body, my health, my happiness and quality of life. Thank you, Sarah!

Her extensive testing leaves no stone unturned. I've worked through her program 2x and each time, she makes new discoveries and recommendations for my overall wellness. Sarah instills empowerment in her clients and I am so grateful for her. Invest in yourself - it is worth it! Sarah changed my life. No hyperbole here.

Had my first meeting a month ago and my second meeting today…read more I was on the Keto route the month before my first visit. I was miserable and hadn't lost a pound. She said if I was doing it right I would've seen progress by then, but that Keto isn't for everyone, so she recommended I switch to good old fashioned calorie counting. After our conversation and after she answered all of my questions/concerns, I felt hopeful that the following month would show some progress. Fast forward one month later and to our second meeting and I'm down 6lbs! AND I GOT TO EAT CARBS WHILE DOING IT! (Everything in moderation) If one thing is for certain, Ruth knows her stuff. If you're committed to losing weight and living a healthier life, I highly recommend seeing her as your nutritionist. You will see when you're ready to see.

I met with Ruth and I regret it. I had the highest hopes in the world because of the expertise she…read moreclaimed to have and the websites she's written for, but now, I do not want anyone to feel like I did. Honestly, after I left her office I sat in my car for 10 minutes reviewing what had just occurred as well as reviewing the documentation she shared and feeling as though I had learned a $140 lesson. I left there with a pile of papers and no real plan and no follow-ups in sight. I decided to schedule my appointment with her because of her years of experience and her supposed field of knowledge. I appreciated her food pyramid knowledge, but ultimately felt let down, yet again, by the nutrition industry.  Yes, I pretty much knew everything she told me, and the candor was something new from a Nutritionist but I feel that she was done with me 1/2 way through the meeting.  I did have more questions but was quite flabbergasted at what had just transpired. My biggest concern was with the meal plan.  My experience in other programs is an EXACT meal layout for the week. For example, breakfast eat 2 eggs and spinach, lunch is a tuna sandwich with lettuce and dinner is a greek salad. Specifics.  As opposed to the blank 1,800 calorie "meal plan" (just count calories) she gave me. I had mentioned that meal planning was my problem and it wasn't solved. I'm no further along than I was before I walked in because I still have to make a meal plan, which to me is as I said 2 eggs and spinach, as opposed to "you can eat 1 1/2 cups of fruit all day". Yes, I am fully aware that I am not losing weight in my current course of action and as easy as it is to just follow her outline or just stop eating, as proposed, it is not. Perhaps I have emotional eating issues, body dis-morphia issues, food allergies, none of which we talked about. And as much as I think it was my responsibility to let her know these things, I would also hope that she'd seen these issues in past clients since she reminded me, she has been doing this for over 20 years and would ask.  What about food issues I have?  I didn't think it appropriate to mention, as after talking with her, felt she would have dismissed them.  I am not opposed to a tough-love-type mentality, but I feel as though I was completely ignored. My being unsatisfied with not being able to work out as I had previously done prior to my current health issues should have given her some indication of my dedication to wellness. i.e. I'm not lazy and not trying. I push through pain (yes, again fully aware of the consequences) which is what helps me get through the day as I expect a lot from myself. I also found it condescending that she shared how she had only gained 10 lbs over 40+ years of having moved to California.  As if to say, look at me, it can be done.  I have no idea what type of person she is or has been and what issues if any, she's had to face, so needless to say it may have been extremely hard for her, but I didn't get that impression. Hence making me feel even more terrible about myself. In the 10 minutes I sat in my car, I felt so much regret of trying to reach out for help. I have tried to reach out, I want help. I hate this feeling. I wish more people in health and fitness had more empathy. And don't even get me started on the "handouts" from 1970 and that I could get a discount if I bought her upcoming book directly from her.

She is a genius! Alyson has been my touch stone for nutritional Health and Wellness for many years…read morenow. She is so astute and compassionate as to what creates balance from the inside-out. Her knack for recipes and rewiring of habits is fabulous and customized to each client. Alyson has transformed my relationship with food and created sustainable options for nutritious meals and snacks no matter what life throws my way. Before working with Alyson, I notoriously was afraid to eat and found it to be "not my favorite thing to do" or (as a new mom) "something I don't have time for". Because Alyson really takes the time to listen to what I do enjoy eating, as well as what I'd like to change about how, when, and what I eat, she offers new ideas to reach my goals. My body and mind are thankful and stronger, thanks to Alyson and her deep love of her practice.

I've taken her guidance with me through the pandemic, and it's been a fantastic home to return back to. Have I done everything perfect since our time ended? No, but I return back to her reassuring lessons. Do not expect a coach in dieting - this is the opposite. If you want to expand what taking your health into your hands means, she is here for you. She is open, smart, and critical in all the best ways. She approaches the subject of nutrition and cooking with an ease that is comforting and reassuring, and makes it feel attainable. Nourishing yourself is a journey gentler than you'd expect. Since seeing Alyson, I've worked on unlearning dieting trauma, restrictions, and I've found ways to move and exercise that answer to what would make me feel best. It's easy to read Instagram coach's online, but for some of us, hard to put into practice. Plus, I love her modifications - She's sensitive to different bodies and capacities. This is not about discipline. You'd be surprised how much easier it is. Alyson is there to help you!!!

Bonnie Modugno was my nutritionist for most of the 1990s, and I found her to be smart,…read moreknowledgeable and empathic. She was among the first dieticians to speak publicly about the importance of carb moderation, especially in diabetic or insulin-resistant clients. I had been to many doctors and endocrinologists before I was referred to Bonnie, and it was like a window-shade going up for the first time. She knew about the role of sugars in our body and how it affects our metabolism, and was careful to tailor different programs to each client according to their individual needs or where they were in life. In other words, she did not proselytize, but used her base of knowledge as a way to custom-fit a program to individuals who came to her for help.

TL;DR Working with Jocelyn Harrison at Pacific Nutrition Partners really and truly healed my gut!…read moreUsed Healthie app to track all food + instant messaging with nutritionist. Established good eating/tracking habits, supplement regiment (no affiliation), and understanding of nutrition as it applies to me specifically. 10/10 worth the time and money! Out of nowhere I began experiencing heartburn, acid reflux with a constant ball in throat, and abdominal pain that left me unable to eat most foods. I initially sought help from a GI who had me take omeprazole, but my symptoms lessened only slightly and then ramped back worse than before once I stopped taking it. They then put me on multiple medications and nothing was working. I stopped being able to eat reasonable sized portions, losing weight and becoming overly fatigued as a result. Medication wasn't working, so I searched the internet for advice, which suggested I change my diet. As soon as I started switching out foods, I noticed an instant improvement, but it stagnated and realized I needed a professional to help me heal my gut, addressing the root of the problem, instead of just the symptoms. I worked with Jocelyn for 5 months during which she educated and guided me through a diet specifically designed to addressed the GERD issues I was experiencing. We did a 1 hr 15 min consultation and 3, 45 min consultations throughout the process. She had me take pictures of everything I ate and drank using an app called Healthie, which she checked daily and reacted to and/or commented on every post I made. I sent her instant messages throughout and she always responded within 24 hours. She checked in on me via messenger often and slowly added supplements to my diet to aid in the healing process. They really helped get me over the last hump of symptoms! I never knew I could have this kind of relationship with a medical professional and I cannot emphasize enough how crucial the constant feedback and engagement was to my recovery. It was encouraging and helped me take control over my relationship with food like never before. I'm happy to share that I've gained back a lot of weight, eat TONS of food multiple times a day, and I'm reintroducing many foods I had to restrict with little to no symptoms now. Thank you Jocelyn for helping me through this trying experience. I couldn't have done it without you!
