What is Mentoring for Nutritionists?

I know how passionate you are about nutrition. You want to build a successful practice, help people, and do work you love. But great nutrition knowledge isn't enough. Running a business is an entirely different skill. 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.

Mentoring can help you:
 

  • Set a clear direction: We'll work together to understand where you want to take your practice and create a fully customised, step-by-step plan to get you there.
     

  • Learn the business of nutrition: I'll teach you the essentials of finding clients, promoting your services, handling the legal stuff and the day-to-day tasks of running a nutrition business.
     

  • Stay up-to-date with the latest science:  I'll help you find and understand the latest nutrition research, how to apply it and focus your professional development.
     

  • Keep you motivated and accountable: Running a practice can be difficult. Sometimes you'll need a cheerleader to help you stay on track, and overcome hurdles along the way. That's what I do. 
     

  • Be the best nutritionist you can be: A good mentor helps you grow. I'm a firm believer in ethical, evidence-based practice and will push you to excel and be your best. That's the foundation for good business too.

 

My goal is simple: I want to help you build a successful, fulfilling nutrition practice that lets you help more people get healthier.

Overcome your business hurdles

It's easy to feel lost when you're starting a nutrition business. I know how it feels to love nutrition, and want to help people, but struggle with the business side of things. It's easy to feel overwhelmed trying to market yourself, find clients, and handle all the legal and admin tasks. That's where a lot of nutritionists struggle too - and how I can offer practical guidance, so you can focus on the work you love:
 

  1. Business feels overwhelming: I'll help you make sense of everything from creating your brand, to finding clients and taking care of everyday tasks that keep your business running smoothly. 
     

  2. Finding and keeping clients: Growing a steady client base is key. Together, we'll figure out how to attract the right people, make finding you easy, and build relationships that last.
     

  3. Finding your niche: What makes you unique? Whether it's sports nutrition, corporate work, or something completely different, I'll help you identify what sets you apart, feels most authentic to you, and attract clients you love working with.
     

  4. Streamlining admin: All those behind-the-scenes tasks can be a real drain. I can help you simplify and automate everyday tasks and comply with professional standards, health claim regulations and data security requirements, to free-up your time.
     

  5. How to promote yourself effectively: Marketing can feel daunting. I'll help you develop a strategy that fits your personality, profession and your practice, so you don't need to live on social media.
     

I want to take the stress out of running a nutrition business, so you can build a practice that's both successful and rewarding.

Stay ahead of the curve

Staying on top of the latest nutrition research can feel like a second job. My mentoring programs are designed to make your continuing education easier, more focused, and directly relevant to your practice.

You'll access exclusive benefits, including discounts on CPD education courses, and gain 24/7 access to an online learning portal and learning library, depending on your chosen package. These post-graduate courses dig deep into hundreds of the latest peer-reviewed systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Using the gold-standard GRADE system, you'll learn to make informed, confident decisions about: 

 

  • Choosing the right lab tests: Understand which markers are most useful for everything from fatigue or hormonal imbalances, to long-term health issues, and how to interpret results accurately.
     

  • Turning test results into actionable plans: Use case studies to learn how to turn test results into specific dietary changes and lifestyle recommendations for clients.
     

  • Nutrition for chronic diseases: Explore the latest nutrition evidence about supporting clients with heart health, digestion, and many other issues.
     

  • Precision nutrition: Deepen your nutrigenomics knowledge and learn how genes can influence nutrient needs, dietary responses and functional health markers.
     

  • Understanding research: Learn how to find the best studies and interpret them confidently.


Ongoing education can be so much more than checking a CPD box. It can make you a better practitioner, helps you attract clients who trust your expertise and create a bigger impact with the work you love. I'll help you turn your knowledge into resources you can use to promote your business, support your clients and generate additional income.

Why choose me as your mentor?

I've been mentoring nutritionists for more than a decade and practising as a BANT and CNHC registered Nutritional Therapist even longer. I've been in your shoes: building your business, feeling overwhelmed, and wishing I had someone to show me the ropes.

 

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: Every nutritionist has their own goals, strengths and challenges, so my mentoring process starts with getting to know you: where you are now, where you want to be, and what's standing in your way, to create an action plan that targets the areas you need the most support, step-by-step, beginning where you are right now.
     

  • Practical knowledge: I know the science of nutrition inside and out, but just as importantly, I know how to apply it in the real world with clients. 
     

  • I'm here to listen:  Mentorship is an ongoing conversation. I want to understand what inspires, concerns and confuses you, get a feel for your style, and how I can best support you.
     

  • Support for all skill levels: I adapt my approach to build on what you already know and tackle your biggest concerns.
     

  • Learn your way: Whether you prefer detailed plans or big-picture thinking, I'll meet you where you are.
     

  • Your questions matter: I want you to feel learn and grow without fear. Mentoring is about identifying and answering questions you have - whether you think they're complex or simple. 
     

  • 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'll 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.

How mentoring helps you succeed

Personalised mentorship can accelerate your nutrition career. Here's how: 
 

  • Build the mindset for success: Nutrition practice is rarely plain-sailing. I'll help you think like a 'nutritionist-entrepreneur', to find solutions and opportunities, not problems. 
     

  • Develop confidence: I can help you build on your strengths, overcome 'imposter syndrome', and reach your full potential as a nutritionist.
     

  • Save time and focus your energy: When you're running your own practice, time is precious. I'll help you develop a clear plan that prioritises the actions that will have the biggest impact on your business. This saves you time, energy, and helps you avoid those frustrating detours that can stall your progress.
     

  • Avoid costly mistakes: Learn from my experiences to save yourself time, money, and stress.
     

  • Make informed decisions: Clinical practice can feel lonely at times. I can can be a sounding board, offer an experienced perspective and help you make considered, clearer decisions.
     

  • Stay motivated and accountable: Building a practice takes dedication and patience. As a mentor, I can help you stay on track and motivated to succeed.
     

  • Grow your impact, shape the field: Beyond building a successful practice, mentoring is also about nurturing your expertise and the tools you need to share your passion and make a bigger difference.

Flexible mentorship options

Every nutritionist learns and challenges themselves in their own way. I offer several options to suit your own needs: 

​

  • One-to-one mentoring: For focused, personalised guidance and enhanced privacy. 

  • Group mentoring:  Learn alongside like-minded nutritionists, share experiences in a supportive, collaborative small group.

​

I want to make mentoring as accessible as possible. No matter what option you choose, you'll receive an individual assessment and customised support to help you grow in a way that works best for you. You can check out the range of mentoring services, packages, and flexible payment plans available to find the perfect fit for your needs. If you'd prefer even more bespoke support plans can be arranged.
