What they are saying...  

"Marlena Tanner has been instrumental to my recovery from four years of anorexia and bulimia. She is able to give support and understanding while still pushing you to make progress in the right direction. She is a wonderful dietitian, an effective therapist, a loving friend, and a relentless source of compassion, empathy, and encouragement, and she is always there with wisdom and kindness whenever you need her. I could not have conceived of a better woman to trust my recovery to; I owe her more of my health and my happiness than I can say. Marlena Tanner helped me save my life, and she is my personal role model as a future dietitian myself."

“Dietitians who are caring and skilled at connecting with patients, who have a mastery in the field of disordered eating and body image, and who know their stuff regarding physiology, and hard nutrition science are rare. Marlena Tanner has that incredible blend, alongside a thorough follow through with each patient. Her track record for helping patients through to the next stage of recovery or healing is phenomenal.”

While working with Marlena, I felt confident that she would be able to take my particular foods and weave them into a diet plan that worked for me. Marlena also assisted me by being present to my thoughts and feelings, and was able to honor them in creating my plan. I got an education that defied a lot of what I was taught. Her insight and expertise was a great help in assisting me with my endeavors. She is truly a joy to interact with, and learn from.

Marlena Tanner is a stand-out, exceptional clinician. But more importantly Marlena understands people. I’ve witnessed her successfully treat difficult health issues while never losing connection with the person struggling within. Marlena has a way of bringing her experience authentically into each session which inspires clients to trust and experiment with change. I truly cannot say enough about her gift in guiding people through transformation.
