Client Testimonials

Ms. Baptiste was not the first nutritionist I had brought my daughter to. I had another nutritionist who was constantly pushing supplements and other types of medication for my daughter to take. I didn’t want that. I wanted her to restore her original, healthy position. Ms. Baptiste was a godsend. She helped my daughter through her situation, showed her how to eat, how to pick the right food choices, and how to restore a normal weight in the healthiest way possible. Along with teaching her how to eat, she boosted her self-esteem and confidence. She was not only her nutritionist, but she was also someone she trusted and could confide in.

Nervousness consumed my mind while I anxiously awaited my call into the nutritionists’ office with my mother. Yet when Ms. Baptiste introduced herself to my mother and I, her genuine compassion, understanding and gentle yet profound words lifted that weight off my shoulders. Her nutritional guideline was uniquely structured towards meeting my personal needs, focusing on incorporating natural, nutritious and attainable foods to replenish my appearance. She served not only as my nutritionist, but as my personal therapist. Her warm persona, patience and consideration made my journey towards restoring my relationship with food a pleasurable journey rather than an overbearing regiment.

Having Ms. Baptiste as my nutritionist has enabled me to reach my health goals. She has taught me how to properly nourish my body and how to lead a healthy lifestyle. She was readily available for all my questions and concerns, paying close attention to my health struggles. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a well informed, thorough nutritionist.
