Ever feel like you wish you had the skills to think of what to say to your clients on the spot, how to structure your sessions and how to navigate uncomfortable client conversations to help your clients move towards change to achieve better outcomes and have them rebooking to see you?
If you answered yes, you’re not alone.
You have the instinct that things don’t feel right but you’re not sure how to optimise the client experience to leave your clients feeling satisfied and leave you feeling more valued, less drained, to have less of that pit in the stomach feeling when consulting clients and less worried that they won’t come back to see you.
ELEVATE could be the perfect program for you to start overcoming this and start offering your clients an experience with you that gets them engaged, makes them feel confident they can meet their goals and keeps them wanting to come back to see you.
It is a self-paced counselling skills program to help you learn and implement the top, evidence-based counselling strategies to your client sessions so you can create a consulting process that is structured and geared for client success and a more fulfilled practice.
This program is for you if:
- You want a clear, specific strategy to conduct your consults in a way that sets clients up for success, better retention and doesn't leave you questioning your value
- You're starting to dread 1:1 counselling/coaching and feeling burnt out, instead you wish to feel more fulfilled and effective as a dietitian
- You've tried helping clients get "unstuck" but struggle with this and don't know what else to do but break down goals into smaller steps
- You're worried you can't help people get results from working with you and this is affecting your confidence, job satisfaction and/or revenue
- You want to sharpen your counselling skills to feel more competent, confident and at ease with clients

What are dietitians saying about the Elevate program?
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. If you have any concern at all with your counseling abilities, you will not be disappointed by joining this program!

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 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
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.

I’m Stephanie, an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) from Australia. I have been practising as a dietitian with nutrition clients for over 14 years, have a Masters Degree in Counselling and currently undertaking a PhD in behaviour change for people with CKD. Stephanie won the Australian Allied Health Award for Dietitian of the Year in 2024 for her work in developing counselling skills in dietitians and improving models of care for people living with CKD to receive access to dietitians earlier in their journey.
I have been helping dietitians learn and apply evidence-based counselling strategies to their practice to help their clients get more engaged, have a better retention and meet their outcomes since 2015.
I have developed a nutrition counselling framework exclusively for dietitians and nutrition professionals. The framework is award-winning, evaluated, published showing that dietitians have improved confidence in their counselling skills to better help their clients.
I have also used this framework myself to improve my no-show rates from 50% to 5% in just 12 months and teach it to other dietitians, like you, to help your clients get better results, enhance your retention and make more money in your business.
