Nutrition Counselling Corner
I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian with a Masters in Counselling and the founder of the successful and award winning Dietitian Counselling Skills Program. I have helped hundreds of dietitians and nutrition coaches learn the counselling and coaching skills they need to run a fulfilling and profitable practice or business filled with satisfied and returning clients who are meeting their health goals. Eating behaviour change is hard and your clients need you to have the skills to not only help them with the “what” of change but also the “how”.
