Charlotte was lovely, really down to earth and informative. A lot of good information to take on board and implement in your practice. The small size of the group was nice too which meant it was very personal.
Nutrition Consultation Training
In this training course, you will develop the essential skills required to deliver confident, effective nutrition consultations. The training gives you the hands-on practical frameworks, and communication skills to apply to help you build that confidence working with clients.
Charlotte has over 15 years of experience working as an RNutr and RD, creating a successful nutrition clinic in London, Berkshire and the South West which has given her a vast plethora of experiences seeing clients online and in person.

Is this training for me?

Very happy for attending this and I will be glad to attend any future sessions run by charlotte.
Very happy with the session with charlotte. She was very good at explaining the basics and she made me feel like very capable of doing it. I really liked the role play at the end although I was “scared” at the beginning.

My business background
When I was in my 30s I worked full time running my clinics and business. In my 20s I was a director of marketing which gave me the hands-on experience to know what marketing channels work best for exposure and which for sales. I also have been awarded an MBA which those of you may know gives you the core business skills to run a successful business.
Using this knowledge I have debunked the myths, removed the jargon and created essential modules on where to start first and how you can build your own nutrition business
