Jill Mongene
Registered dietitian nutritionist
“I truly learnt how to counsel my clients to help them move through the change process. Now ALL clients make their own progress as I guide them through the easy process you have taught me. Stephanie was always willing to provide examples that helped me in current situations. Your program is the best!”

“Before Stephanie’s program, I was finding my consults to be stressful and exhausting. I was trying to provide all the answers, doing more work than my clients and it was not working. As I go through Stephanie’s program, I am learning the right questions to ask to get my clients in the driver seat of their own change and progress. I am feeling much more relaxed and confident in my counselling skills. I highly recommend this program!”

“I knew my counselling process wasn’t the best but I didn’t know what else to do. I thought motivational interviewing was the only answer. The counselling skills taught by Stephanie are so MUCH BETTER and BEYOND just motivational interviewing. After this program, my counselling skills are like night and day! It was amazing that I was improving so much for such a relatively small time commitment. I do so much mindset work with clients setting them up for success with change and helping them stay the course. I was already quite competent before this course, so this course wasn’t just valuable because I was really bad and it taught me the basics. I went from above average to excellent. I feel absolutely comfortable charging people more now, as I KNOW I deliver value. I feel awesome because I don’t wonder what to say or do during appointments. I exude genuine confidence, which helps my patients trust me. It’s comforting to know I’m doing the best possible job I can to help people because I’m using evidence-based behaviour change counselling strategies.”

Accredited Practising Dietitian
“This program has been the most valuable and effective learning I have completed since graduating. I’m much less anxious and drained by challenging consults as I have a plan and structure and tools to use as needed. The most noticeable difference from implementing the skills has been in my participants who have struggled with losing weight for many years, seeing them switch their mindset and focus away from losing weight and losing weight quickly, but focus on working on the behaviours that will get them closer to experiencing the outcomes they ultimately want from losing weight, and actually seeing them achieve these outcomes, often for the first time in their lives. I couldn’t have made this progress without Stephanie.
This was well worth the investment and I’m so much better for it both professionally and personally. Stephanie has made an impact in my life, so I can make a difference in others.”
Sandy Wyers
Registered Dietitian, Private Practice
“Prior to the program I had some knowledge of motivational interviewing but wanted to improve to help my clients get better results. Now my counselling process is much better, I talk less, listen more and ask better questions. This program was definitely worth the investment and is special because of Stephanie’s unique background as a dietitian with a degree in counselling.”
Melissa D'Elia
Accredited Practising Dietitian, Private Practice
“It’s an amazingly helpful program. It doesn’t just give you theory, it shows you how to practically apply the skills. This is what sets this program apart from others. My confidence in my counselling skills has increased and feel I can now troubleshoot anything that comes up. Client outcomes and retention have improved with these techniques. If you’re wanting to make private practice your career, you need to invest in this program.”
Andrea S
Registered Dietitian, Private Practice
“I feel so much more confident going into a session with a client. While this program provides the theory basics, it provides concrete strategies and questions to use in particular situations. The coaching sessions were so valuable as Stephanie always had thoughtful answers and advice. I think every dietitian should take this program.“
Katie Psarou
Registered Dietitian, Private Practice
“After 12 weeks of working with Stephanie, not only have my confidence and counselling skills excelled but my clients, myself and my whole practice have been transformed. Her coaching has such a ripple effect. This program will give you the best return on your investment. You will get more effective and efficient in your dietetic practice and become less burnt out.”
Antonnette K
Clinical Dietitian
“I thought I knew how to counsel until I took up this program but my counselling process was all over the place. It’s been so valuable learning about counselling techniques, strategies and the approach that can better my practice as a dietitian when I’m counselling my patients. I now have better questioning techniques and approach to patient care and my sessions with patients have improved in so many ways. I was not taught any of this at school. This program will make a huge difference to your practice.”
Donna Aldaia
Registered Dietitian, Private Practice
“My counselling process is now more focused, efficient, and I’m asking better questions that allow the client to lead the way. Clients are setting their own action steps, achieving their goals, and as a result the sessions are more energizing and motivating. This is the only counselling program I’ve found that directly applies to nutrition counselling. It will re-shape your nutrition counselling practice and improve client health outcomes. I’m so happy I made the investment.”
Leanne Venkat
Accredited Practising Dietitian, Inpatient Dietitian
“I highly recommend this program to all dietitians. I feel my practice would be compromised if I hadn’t attended and this course should be compulsory. The skills developed are essential tools for practice as dietitians. This course fills several gaps that I do not feel can be addressed at university before employment.”
Chelsea Crawford
Registered Dietitian, Private Practice
“My clients’ outcomes have improved and the flow of our conversations are so much better. I really liked learning essential skills we were never taught before and to bounce ideas off Stephanie. Her background and experience is unlike any other. I just wish I would have done this program sooner.”
Tiana Sexton
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Private Practice
“This program has improved my confidence when counselling clients. I have learnt new counselling skills and believe I am able to better help my clients reach their desired outcomes. The program was great. The group calls were very helpful. Totally worth the investment.”
Stephanie Seekamp
Registered Dietitian, Private Practice
“I approach appointments with my clients completely different now. My focus is on them, where they are and let them take the reigns. I have more patience and compassion not just for my clients but for myself. I loved Stephanie’s coaching style. She is very receptive and knowledgeable.”
Cristina Ricioppo
Registered Dietitian, Private Practice
“My biggest outcome from the program so far has been an increase in my confidence to help my clients. My appointments have a plan and a structure now, and I am less drained after each visit as a result. I used to often get “stuck” during challenging consults, not sure which direction to go. This program has given me the skills to direct the conversation and keep it moving forward while keeping patient engagement high. I would 100% recommend joining this program! I have considered other counseling skills courses in the past and even have tried learning on my own through self-study. The knowledge, guidance, and mentorship provided in this program has allowed me to progress my skills more in 12 weeks than in years of trying to figure this out on my own.”
Catriona Courtney
Registered Nutritionist, Private Practice
“I loved the course, it was excellent and I am delighted I joined. I have such a better flow and time efficiency in consultations. They are now more client led than me trying to do all the heavy lifting. Clients are more engagedand delve deeper into struggles and problems. It was also a great learning experience within the group setting and even though I didn’t make some of the Q&A sessions, having recordings and listening back, I learned something new every time. You will learn techniques that will make counselling easier and more rewarding for you and your client. To someone who is thinking of joining, I say go for it. Stephanie is thoroughly professional, patient and an expert in counselling skills”
Katharina Kühtreiber
Registered Dietitian, Private Practice
“I now ask my clients different questions, listen patiently, have stopped providing all the information and solutions. Now my clients are coming up with their own solutions. It’s made such a huge difference already and I’m so surprised how quickly I was able to use the questions. Stephanie is a great mentor and coach and she is providing so much information, tips and insights. You also learn a lot from the other dietitians in the group calls from their examples and struggles. I am so happy that I joined the program. I can’t wait to get more used to using all the techniques and experience the success together with my clients.”
Anyea Lovette
Registered Dietitian, Private Practice
“I thought I was losing my passion for nutrition, but it was really that I always struggled to help clients get results. Learning the importance of really digging deep into the client’s why and always linking everything back this has been the biggest result for me from the program. It really seems to help me connect better with clients and be more effective. If you’re thinking of joining, just do it. This program provides you with the tools to improve your counseling skills, something missing in a lot of dietetics educational programs.”
Tiffany Ma
Accredited Practising Dietitian, Private Practice
“The biggest result from this program so far is being able to adapt my language for those clients in the precontemplation and contemplation stage of change. To get them doubting their current behaviours and to get them thinking that changing their eating behaviours will have a positive impact. The skills and confidence that you gain from this program are priceless and will last you for the rest of your dietetic profession.”
Soraya David-Pineda
Registered Dietitian, Private Practice
“My consultations are more focused and have more structure. If I have clients that have not been able to make changes I feel confident in knowing suitable questions to ask. I now have the blueprint to be able to use motivational interviewing techniques. Stephanie’s coaching style was perfect and I loved the program.”
Hannah W
Accredited Practising Dietitian, Private Practice
“Before working with Stephanie my counselling process was unstructured. I was getting stuck and uncertain what questions to ask my clients to create change. Stephanie’s program is special in that she has answers/solutions for everything! I loved her mentoring style and that I received 1:1 advice so my counselling process is now more structured. If you’re thinking of joining, just do it. You will learn so much that can be practically applied to better help your clients meet their goals.”
