Let’s Connect Socially

  • Stephanie taught me the tools to eat and feel better for life.

    The first day I met Stephanie, she made me feel very comfortable and very nicely gave me a confidence and support to be honest with what I was eating…or not eating. Within a few weeks, I was eating breakfast and snacks and not only did my headaches go away and my stomach felt better, but I was losing weight, too. Stephanie was able to decipher foods that aggravated my body and made me feel worse. Stephanie was always a kind sounding board that understood when I was not on track, was my own personal cheering section and was also able to encourage me. She was also always available by email with questions and suggestions on how to dine out and handle business dinners.

  • I lost (& have kept off!) 37 pounds!

    Stephanie put together an easy to follow menu of options, including foods I was already eating. She helped me change my life and I am now a much healthier person. I lost (& have kept off!) 37 pounds! I have referred many friends & family members to Stephanie, and they have all experienced fantastic results. I would recommend Middleberg Nutrition to anyone looking to lose weight and/or live a healthier lifestyle without feeling deprived of food!

  • Stephanie has forever changed my perspective on dieting with an education that I’ll keep for a long time!

    “Since our first session, my perspective on diet and nutrition has never been the same. Stephanie has provided me with the tools to make good decisions about what I eat and when. Her understanding of nutrition and her ability to educate others in a way that makes sense is truly a gift. The guidance I’ve gotten from Stephanie has helped me to lose more than 20 pounds!”

  • After just one session...

    After just one session with Stephanie I underwent a dramatic transformation that not only affected how I feel about food and my body, but changed my decision making process around food. She created a livable solution that I can stick with where I don't feel deprived or overwhelmed (yes you can still go to restaurants all the time!) I just feel better about what I eat.

    — Eve B.

  • You have really made a difference in my life.

    From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for everything you have done for me. You have really made a difference in my life – something that should be very difficult you somehow made easy (or not that difficult..). You are amazing at what you do and will refer you to anyone that comes my way.

    — Jon S.

  • She is my favorite recommendation!

    Stephanie guides you in such subtle ways, you forget you are changing your life in the process. Stephanie is the consummate coach--encouraging, full of interpersonal warmth and knows her craft. She changed me in ways I never thought I could achieve. She is my favorite recommendation!

    — Barry M.

  • Meeting Stephanie and learning about healthy weight loss and weight management has changed my life completely.

    Not only did I swiftly shed the 10 pounds I had wanted to before my wedding, but I have been able to maintain a healthy weight ever since. She has challenged me to think outside the box around daily meal planning and snacking, has constantly given me guidance about menu selections at my favorite restaurants, and has also become a trusted advisor around all of my nutritional concerns. I recently moved away from the New York area, and I still make appointments to see Stephanie when I am in town. I truly believe I could not find anyone more talented and well-suited for my nutritional guidance!
