Client Stories
Real people, real results
Empowering healthier lives — one client at a time.
"What a wonderful and thoughtful experience. This was the first time I had a professional in the healthcare field connect my culture background to helping me understand the missing connection as it relates to my overall health. Nitchell is truly dedicated to her work but most importantly, she is committed to you. This process has changed my relationship with food. I eat food while keeping in step with a dance routine. What a transformative journey. I am forever grateful. Thank you!"
Felicia Smith Private Coaching with Nitchell
"The personalized approach to meal planning really stood out. It felt tailored to my life, not a generic plan, and made a real difference in how I felt."
Stacey B. Private Coaching with Nitchell
"As a summer Camp Director, I had many details on my mind. I was so grateful that I never had to think about meals or providing diverse, nutritious food. Nitchell had it covered! Plus, she never let a dietary restriction fall through the cracks. They always had delicious and varied options. As a vegetarian myself, I learned new spices and dishes that I even started making at home. Did I mention she's just a wonderful person to be around?"
Lauren W.A. Catering & Health Coaching for Brown University Summer Camp Program
"Nitchell Tapalu's holistic nutritional coaching helped reset my health, measurably, to levels I have not had in years. Though I started discouraged from previous attempts, I am now celebrating victory that I have never had before. What most encourages me is that I have been able to maintain my health level after the counseling and my greatest efforts ended. I am thrilled having been taught sustainable actions for continued success!"
Michelle G. Healthier You Program
"I have always struggled with so many stomach issues, and Nitchell helped me more than I ever expected. She took the time to really listen to what I was experiencing and slowly helped me heal my gut. What I appreciate most is that she didn't just help me in the moment she taught me so much along the way. Now, when health issues come up, I feel like I have the knowledge and tools to understand what might be going on and know what I can do to help myself. I'm so grateful for everything she has done for me!"
