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. Charlotte has also taught the students of the University of Nottingham how to conduct nutrition consultations.

Is this training for me?

Typically, nutritionists or nutrition graduates will have a solid background in nutrition science and experience but may lack that essential knowledge of how to deliver a private 121 nutrition consultation. It may be that you haven't had an opportunity to shadow a nutritionist or applied this knowledge in a consultation setting.

 

This training course has been developed to help you learn and explore the essentials of conducting a nutrition consultation. We have worked with the AfN to have this course endorsed for CPD.

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
