Are you a nutrition professional looking for guidance on starting or growing your practice? Do you want to improve your business skills, create a strong brand, or develop additional income streams?
As a nutrition professional, you have a unique set of goals, strengths, and challenges – and a wealth of opportunities to grow your business, fuelled by your passion and expertise. But great nutrition knowledge isn't enough. Running a business is an entirely different skillset that can feel a bit daunting for many nutrition professionals. I get it – I've been there myself. That's one of the reasons I offer mentoring, to help nutritionists like you to get clear on your goals and develop the practical skills you need to succeed.
Whether you're a newly qualified practitioner looking to establish your practice or an experienced nutritionist seeking to specialise, expand, change your business model, optimise your administrative procedures, return to practice after a break or develop passive income from books or courses, personalised mentoring can help you achieve your unique goals and overcome the challenges of running a successful nutrition business.
Personalised Mentoring for Nutritionists
Mentoring services aimed at newly qualified practitioners, often provide foundational and practical business knowledge using a general framework. This can make business set-up easier for some, but many practitioners can find this limiting when troubleshooting issues unique to their circumstances that require individual guidance. Particularly when people struggle with motivation, technical/digital skills, or feel unsure about the direction they want to take or want to explore non-clinical business options. Practitioners with very specific goals, or more experience in practice who want to make changes to their business, can often find it hard to get the support they need too.
As nutritional therapists we specialise in adapting our approach to the individual. I provide personalised business mentoring for the same reason: to tailor my guidance, support, and practical advice to help you achieve your specific goals.
Personalised mentoring takes the time to understand your individual needs and aspirations. As an experienced mentor for over 10 years, and a nutritional therapist for over 15 years, I offer customised strategies to help you overcome challenges and seize opportunities in your practice.

Why choose me as your mentor?
As a BANT and CNHC registered Nutritional Therapist with over 15 years of experience, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities facing nutrition professionals. My mentoring approach is completely different with every practitioner, taking into account your individual needs, learning style, and professional aspirations.
Over the past 15 years my experience establishing services in the charity sector, on Harley street, and online, as well as teaching aspiring and practising nutritionists, and spending countless hours diving into advanced nutrition research have given me a well-rounded perspective. Here's how that experience can help you:

Personalised advice: My mentoring approach reflects where you are now, where you want to be, and what's standing in your way. Your action plan targets the areas you need the most support, step-by-step, whatever your starting point.
-
Practical knowledge: I'm confident with science of nutrition, but just as importantly, I have thousands of consultation hours worth of experience applying it with clients.
-
Continual adaptation: Mentorship is an ongoing conversation. As I get a stronger sense of your style, and what inspires, concerns and confuses you, my understanding of how I can best support you clarifies too.
-
Support for all skill levels: I adapt my approach to build on what you already know and tackle your biggest concerns.
-
Designed for your needs, preferences and priorities: Whether you prefer detailed plans or big-picture thinking, I'll meet you where you are.

-
Support for wherever you are in your career: Whether you're recently qualified or rethinking your practice goals, I'll tailor my guidance to help you take the next steps.
Mentorship is a partnership. I give you a solid foundation, but your drive and dedication are what will make the difference. If you're looking for someone who's as committed to your success as you are, and who understands the practicalities of building a practice, I'd love to help you.
