DIETITIANS:
Are you opening a new private practice?
Are you expanding into functional nutrition?
Do you want to write a book to make a bigger impact and passive income?
Do you need support?
It’s hard to be on your own. Running your own practice can be daunting. There are so many details to learn and manage. And as your practice grows, you have to juggle all those new client cases. Each one needs a personalized treatment plan, not to mention the sense of responsibility for getting them well. And we all experience that feeling of uncertainty that we don’t know what we are doing!
I’ve been there, and it is scary. I remember what it feels like to be floundering, feeling like you are on your own, trying to get new clients, trying to keep clients coming back, and trying to earn their trust and help them feel better and healthier. In private practice, the buck stops with you.
I am proud to offer mentoring services to those dietitians in need of support.
I can offer years of experience and perspective that I gained running my own practice.

Testimonials from happy mentees:
“Dianne and I began working together in July, 2016 as I was starting my business. I was overwhelmed, had a ton of questions, and needed help. I had listened to Dianne’s webinars on gut health and heartburn/GERD, and was so impressed with her knowledge that I began to follow her on Facebook and read her blog. As I was creating my own business model and studying integrative nutrition, I knew that having Dianne as a mentor would help me to be successful with my goals. So I reached out to her and asked about a mentoring program. Dianne immediately responded and agreed to help. Since working with Dianne, she has mentored me on how to further create my business, hone my policies and procedures, understand insurance reimbursement and superbills, and has provided guidance on how to make my business grow. She has also provided me with tools and resources to better assist my clients. Dianne has a vast knowledge of labs and supplements. Through her guidance, I have been able to set up accounts, make solid supplement recommendations to my clients, and gain an understanding of which tests I want to offer. By far, the most valuable part of our time together has been Dianne’s willingness to help me evaluate case studies. Being fairly new to integrative and functional nutrition, I evaluate my most difficult cases with Dianne. This provides me with further knowledge and skills to help my clients, and offers them the most well rounded approach in terms of feeling their best and achieving wellness. If you are considering a mentor, I would highly recommend Dianne.”
“The mentoring I have received from Dianne has been invaluable to my private practice. She has helped me put the knowledge of functional nutrition into action and increased my confidence to move forward with complex clients. I still meet with her regularly to discuss cases and best practices. Her experience in the field and practical guidance has been a game changer for me. She is so real, which I truly admire. I think every dietitian would benefit from this mentoring to up-level their client results and evolve their practice.”
“Thank you so much Dianne! Mentoring with you has increased my confidence as a practitioner and as a business owner. Your intuitive, yet practical advice is just what I need to hear to keep me going on the private practice path. I am so grateful to be working with you!”
“When I’m not sure what direction to start in for a GI client, or if I need suggestions on how to tweak a protocol to personalize it to a client, Dianne gives me great suggestions that prove helpful every time.”
