I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian with a Masters in Counselling and the founder of the successful and award winning Dietitian Counselling Skills Program. I have helped hundreds of dietitians and nutrition coaches learn the counselling and coaching skills they need to run a fulfilling and profitable practice or business filled with satisfied and returning clients who are meeting their health goals. Eating behaviour change is hard and your clients need you to have the skills to not only help them with the "what" of change but also the "how".
30. AI in Dietetics: The Skills That Make a Dietitian Hard To Replace
AI can already generate meal ideas, answer nutrition questions, and summarise information. So where does that leave dietitians? In this episode, Stephanie shares why she thinks we're asking the wrong question. Instead of "will AI replace dietitians," the real question is: what skills make a dietitian difficult to replace? She talks through what AI can't do, why the dietitian-client relationship matters more than ever, real examples from clinical practice and a simple 3 question self-check to see where your own practice stands right now.
If this resonates with you, she has put together a free guide to the programs she offers, so you can see which one fits where you're at right now.

29. How to counsel clients on meal planning and preparation
If your client started meal planning, preparing, and cooking more of their own food, consistently, what difference would that make to their health outcomes? For a lot of your clients, the honest answer is: a lot.
In this episode, I talk through why meal planning and prep is hard for a lot of clients (it's a stack of cognitive and behavioural skills, not one simple decision), the seven barriers that tend to shut these conversations down, and what a real assessment and counselling process for this topic actually needs to include.
If this is a gap you recognise in your own sessions, the Meal Planning and Preparation Training walks you through exactly this, including specific strategies for each of the seven barriers.

28. Why dietitians lose clients after 2-3 sessions
If you've ever finished a session unsure whether it actually helped, or watched a client's bookings taper off with no clear explanation, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I break down why so many dietitians lose clients right around session two or three, and why it usually has nothing to do with the client's motivation. I walk through the real reason retention drops, what a thorough assessment actually needs to cover, and how phasing your care with intention changes everything about how clients experience working with you.
If you want a repeatable process for exactly this, I built the Client Road Map System to help. It includes a self-paced masterclass, implementation training, and ten real client road map examples, so you always know what to bring to the next session.
