Making the leap to entrepreneurship can be confusing and overwhelming. I can guide you in taking the first steps to building your business and    feeling empowered in your skills!

I, like you, had a passion to become a private practice RD from the moment I became a dietitian. The only problem was.....where do I begin? 

If I had a mentor when I first started my practice in 2014, it would have saved the many headaches and sleepless nights I experienced. Which is why I am here for you! To help you through the many questions that starting your business brings up. Because let's face it, we as dietitians know nutrition, we don't really know business.

I can't say I have all the answers, but what I can tell you is that I learned A TON along the way. Someone once told me the second you stop learning, or feel bored in your business, that's it, that's the end of the road. And I couldn't agree more. My brand continues to evolve, I continue to learn, and I continue to better myself as a dietitian and business woman. What keeps me going? Motivation and fearlessness. I'm okay with learning and evolving, and you have to be too. That's where the growth is.

 

I'm proud to say within my second year of business I was making a profit and working full time. And the cherry on top is, it doesn't even feel like work. I am so happy doing what I love and feel blessed to meet with my clients everyday. I've made my business mine. My business is my brand and represents me. It's got to feel comfortable. Half the battle is finding your brand, and I'll help you discover that. 

For me, my brand is about building a healthy food relationship, because I believe the best kind of health is the kind where your heart and mind are happy and you feel good about yourself. My passion is helping others overcome their food struggles, disordered eating behaviors, and diet mindset to find peace again with food and eating. This is what lights me up. You have to enjoy what you do to be good at it, right? My dad always told me "do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." So true!

What's your passion? What aspect of nutrition do you genuinely enjoy? It's likely there's someone out there practicing what you believe in. And if there's not, you be the first. Our passions can be different, but the foundation of a strong business is all the same.

My mentorship will allow us to tackle and discuss the foundational pieces of starting a private practice. I believe elements of both information as well as self reflection can be helpful when getting started. It is very common to feel EVERYTHING needs to be in place before starting a practice. I can walk you through the nuts + bolts of what you need and help you to build trust that the rest can be filled in (and tweaked!) when you are "in business."
