LAKE WALES, FL, July 14, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tammy StClair has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Ms. StClair has established a distinguished career in wellness counseling, social work and bariatric support, marked by a decade of leadership as owner, social worker and weight loss and wellness counselor at In2Vue Wellness Counseling since 2016. Through this role, she has provided specialized guidance to clients navigating the emotional and behavioral challenges following bariatric surgery. Her expertise in pre- and post-bariatric surgery coaching is widely recognized, and she leads support groups while offering individual counseling to help clients sustain their health journeys.

Since 2019, Ms. StClair has also served as a licensed master social worker therapist and bariatric service provider with Comprehensive Counseling LCSW, as well as with the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. In these concurrent positions, she delivers therapeutic services tailored to the unique needs of bariatric patients, drawing on her own transformative experiences and professional training.

From 2014 to 2022, Ms. StClair contributed as patient and community liaison at Compassionate Care Hospice, where she facilitated communication between patients, families and healthcare providers to ensure compassionate end-of-life care. Her earlier tenure from 2006 to 2014 as patient liaison for bariatric surgery in the Department of Surgery at NYU Grossman School of Medicine allowed her to develop a deep understanding of the patient experience before and after weight-loss procedures.

Ms. StClair's foundational experience includes two pivotal social work internships, one at the Child Abuse Prevention Center Inc., now The Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse, in New York City from 2012 to 2013 and the other at Tisch Hospital, NYU Langone Hospitals, from 2010 to 2011. These roles provided her with essential clinical skills and insight into diverse client populations.

Ms. StClair's professional journey began in administrative roles, as an administrative assistant at IBM from 2000 to 2006, where she honed organizational and communication abilities, and previously as a technical coordinator and peer trainer with Spherion Staffing LLC from 1998 to 2000. Her career is further distinguished by her participation in the television show "10 Years Younger," which highlighted her personal transformation following significant weight loss of 120 pounds. She is also an active member of NASW New York and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.

Academically, Ms. StClair's achievements are notable for both their breadth and depth. She earned a bachelor's degree in corporate communications from Mercy University in Dobbs Ferry in 2005, graduating summa cum laude as the first member of her family to attend college. After initially completing two years of undergraduate study before taking a fifteen-year hiatus, she returned with determination to finish her degree.

In 2013, Ms. StClair completed a master's degree in social work at the Silver School of Social Work at New York University, graduating at the top of her class while working full-time, an accomplishment she regards as one of her most significant achievements. She later pursued advanced studies in health and wellness coaching at Maryland University of Integrative Health (now Notre Dame of Maryland University), earning a post-baccalaureate certificate and progressing toward a master's degree in health and wellness coaching at the School of Integrative Health at Notre Dame of Maryland University.

Further bolstering her credentials, Ms. StClair has earned a CITI certification through the CITI Program, a school social work certificate from the New York State Education Department and dual certified teacher designations from the same institution. These qualifications have enabled Ms. StClair to provide comprehensive support across educational and clinical settings.

Beyond her professional pursuits, Ms. StClair is civically engaged as a volunteer with No Kings and participates actively in local theater work and art programs. Her creative endeavors include being featured in Oprah Magazine in 2011 alongside other women who achieved significant weight loss—a milestone that brought national attention to her journey—and serving as both speaker and podcaster on topics related to wellness and personal transformation.

Overall, Ms. StClair attributes her success to unwavering determination and resilience, qualities that have shaped every aspect of her accomplishments. She underscores her strong commitment to supporting individuals affected by obesity, noting her dedication not only to her clients but also to broader efforts to reach those she cannot directly serve. She emphasizes the importance of reframing weight loss surgery as a medical intervention rather than a personal or moral failing. In her view, obesity is a complex, multifactorial disease, rather than a consequence of laziness or lack of discipline.

In her personal life, Ms. StClair enjoys dog training, watching movies, exploring new places and seeking out unique items that reflect her appreciation for individuality. Looking ahead, she plans to build a profitable business that integrates therapy with coaching for individuals within the bariatric community. She is committed to teaching valuable skills to those struggling after surgery—whether facing regret or weight regain—and envisions herself becoming a public speaker focused on supporting individuals who require renewed guidance on their health journeys.
