“Very knowledgeable about my medical needs and what was best for me. Took her time to understand where I was coming from and where I wanted to go and how she can help me! ”
Sally B.August 25, 2025
“Sharon Howard was a great listener and made me feel more heard than I have felt in the past year dealing with my GI issues in the medical community. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and I got so much information in our hour long appointment and left with an action plan going forward, feeling like I might actually get somewhere with the issues I have been having. I am so happy I went to see her!”

About Sharon Howard
Sharon O’Melia Howard R.D., M.S., C.D.E., L.D.N., F.A.D.A., the owner of Nutrition for Living, is a registered dietitian with more than 30 years of experience counseling individuals with nutrition issues such as diabetes, weight loss, eating disorders, lipid disorders, celiac disease, IBS, renal disease, sports medicine, bariatric nutrition, childhood obesity, and improving family health. She earned her Bachelor’s in Nutrition from the University of Delaware and her Master’s in Health Science from West Chester University. As a Charter Fellow of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, she is certified by the C.D.R. in Adult and Childhood Weight Management and is a Certified Diabetes Educator by the AADE. Sharon is committed to helping people change their eating behaviors to improve their health with practical, accurate nutrition information. She was recently certified in the Low FODMAP diet for IBS and is a Certified Health and Wellness Coach.
I think of myself as a “facilitator of nutrition change.” Clients come to my practice seeking information and help with improving their health. Making lifestyle changes is not easy: I have been trained in nutrition counseling because I wanted the skills to help people put their goals into action. We at Nutrition for Living are “Health coaches” by profession. We know it takes support, accountability, and time to achieve a better weight, better blood sugars, and better health. I strive to be well-informed in evidence-based nutrition while being skillful in helping people make lifestyle changes.

Impressed with Sharon’s knowledge, ability to communicate, listening, and ability to work with me in tailoring an individualized plan for me. Not a one size fits all approach, but rather an approach that matches my lifestyle and goals.

Excellent visit and found it very informative.

Sharon made me feel comfortable discussing my issues and concerns. She showed no preconceived biases to my case or made me feel like a failure from my previous attempts to improve myself. She shared lessons learned from others with similar struggles and what options to consider as we move forward. I felt very comfortable with the plan we have developed and have noticed a significant difference in my health over the last 2 weeks. It is a great feeling having a health care professional work with you to develop the right program structure for you!
