I started in Elevate to improve my counseling skills to help connect with my patients better and improve outcomes. My counselling process at the time was based in motivational interviewing but was often stuck on what to say. Now it is much more structured based on Stephanie’s framework. I have deep understanding of the counseling process. Stephanie is the reason this program is special due to her support and how the information is broken down into manageable steps. This program is worth it and I recommend it!

Katie S, RD

When I started Elevate, I didn’t have a set counselling process. Since finishing Elevate, I have a framework to use, I am more confident and always know what to say to keep clients engaged. Learning these skills from a practising dietitian is what makes this program special. It’s a wonderful program. It isn’t like any other training I have done, and learned and have implemented so much! If you’re thinking about joining, having this foundational knowledge will have a positive impact on your interactions and progress with clients. I recommend it!

Jessica Paredes, RD

Before Elevate I didn’t understand my patient's motivations well enough or help them understand they need to find intrinsic motivation. I also didn't establish proper expectations. Now, I can ask better questions, I help my patients understand themselves better, and help them establish better expectations. Since we don't get educated well enough in how to counsel patients in school this is a critical area to expand your knowledge. I love that this course is directed specifically to dietitians to improve how we counsel patients around diet and it gives you actionable skills you can use immediately. I recommend Elevate!

Paula S, RD

Before joining Elevate, I did not have structure in my consults. I did not have a plan on how to respond to patient struggles. I provided most of the education during the initial visit. I now have structure to my visits and a plan on how to provide education and support without overwhelming patients. I now know to share my knowledge over the course of several visits and to focus on motivational interviewing and troubleshooting with the patient during follow up visits. Stephanie has a great coaching style, is a great listener and offers great suggestions for handling different client situations. Elevate will make you a more confident dietitian and I recommend it.

Keisi X, APD

My business goals in 2024 were to help my clients get the results they hire me for. I was getting frustrated that clients seemed to want to put the work in and come back for sessions and then not get the results they want. Prior to Elevate my counselling process was very cheerleader-ish, I would always start with wins and let the client decide their goals. Now, I have more structure, my counselling skills have improved and I am more confident. The Elevate Program is so special and was absolutely amazing. I learnt so much and am definitely a better dietitian because of it. You won’t regret joining this program. 

Carianne P, RD

Since Elevate, my counselling skills have improved and I am more confident in coaching my clients as I know how to discuss goals and explore barriers more intensely. I loved the group and individual support provided in this program. If you’re struggling with structuring your counselling sessions, join this program. Stephanie is amazing, so kind and supportive. I recommend this program!

Ariella W, RD

My counselling process prior to Elevate was much more chaotic and less organised. Now, it is much more structured, helps me meet the client where they are at, actually evoke behaviour change and I have actual responses to use with clients. Stephanie makes this program special - she is so attentive and brilliant. If you’re thinking of joining, do it. There is no one like Stephanie!

Rachel H, RD

Since Elevate, my counselling process is more structured, defined and clear. I have gained more confidence in the counseling I deliver in terms of having a more structured way of counseling. Previously, I felt all over the place and was unsure if I was saying the right thing or asking the right questions. Following this program, I now know exactly how to structure my initial and follow ups. My stress level for the initial consult is virtually gone now as there is not that expectation of delivering heavy nutrition education rather taking my time to truly get to know the client and deliver the best care. Stephanie makes this program so special! She is SO supportive and offers wonderful guidance without judgement. She is empathetic and very knowledgeable. She has great experience and delivers a wonderful framework that is helpful beyond words! I have a clear framework that works, more confidence in my appointments and more self-worth as a dietitian! 

Carmen Haddad, RD

Prior to Elevate, I had no clear structure and I had seen myself getting stuck so many times in sessions, not knowing where to go or what questions to use to have clients open up more. I didn't have a clear understanding of the scope of practice for counseling as a dietitian and was afraid of confrontational situations. My consultations now have structure, and I am learning to manage my time better. I feel that I have a deeper understanding of why people do what they do and I feel more confident of how to approach tougher situations where someone goes away from my recommendations or doesn't feel like they're progressing or comes in with animosity. I really feel like this training has pushed me to organize myself and my processes, which in turn helps the patients I'm working with to feel less stressed and confused about what a session with the dietitian will be like. I feel like there is also more connection with my patients. My client retention has improved and so have my reviews. I was blown away by how much Stephanie remembered about me and how her answers and coaching were tailored to my specific needs. If you have any concern at all with your counseling abilities, you will not be disappointed by joining this program!

Devon H, RD

Before Elevate, I was trying to solve all of my clients problems with education/information and not really listening to their expectations and struggles. Since completing Elevate, I am better at aligning client expectations with realistic results, more listening to the client and less information overload on my part. The biggest result I have gotten from the program has been being able to personalize my counseling to each client and also provide more a personalized nutrition plan based on improved my counseling skills. I definitely recommend Elevate to other dietitians. 

Chloe B, RD

Prior to Elevate my counselling process was less structured and a little more “winging it”. Following Elevate, it’s more structured and I’m already feeling more confident with the value I’m providing to my clients. The overall framework taught in the program and the ability to ask questions and get guidance from Stephanie was so valuable. Her coaching style was a great fit for me. She was always open and accepting of every question. This program has so much value for dietitians, both experienced in 1:1 counselling and new to it, to elevate your skills and provide a service you feel confident with. 

Whitney Sanford, RD

My counselling process before Elevate was based on open ended questions and I allowed the conversation to flow depending on what the client was open to sharing in the session. It lacked some structure. Following Elevate I have more structure and am aware of topics to explore more deeply in the first session and my counselling skills have improved. Information given in the Elevate program would have been very helpful to have received when first starting a role as a nutrition counselor. While information on motivational interviewing is helpful, it doesn't provide the structure or sequence needed to support a client through the change process. The Elevate training provides you with that guidance.
