Feedback from Allergy and Professional Communities

“Tamara is amazing! Her information on food allergy anxiety is so helpful!”

“We’ve needed to talk about emotional and mental support in food allergy for a long time!”

"Our food allergy group had a truly amazing webinar with Tamara last night. She is a great speaker and all our minds and hearts were full of new empowered information and tools. She’s the real deal. A true helping professional."

“Tamara is considered a leading expert on the topic of food allergy-related anxiety and mental health issues. I have had the privilege to attend numerous educational sessions and lectures with Tamara as a speaker. She provides evidence-based education on navigating the psychosocial stressors, anxiety, and fear affecting not only patients with food allergy, but also the family and caregivers involved in caring for those with food allergy. She provides practical information that I apply on a daily basis in the allergy clinic. She is a dynamic and captivating speaker who keeps the audience thoroughly engaged while sharing her knowledge. As allergic diseases continue to rise, Tamara's expertise will become even more essential to those of us caring for food allergy patients.”
