From Information to Transformation
Become the behavior change coach your clients need - confident, MI-driven, and person-centered. Because nutrition is a science, but eating is a behavior.
We help registered dietitians, heath practitioners and coaches who want to level up their motivational interviewing and real world coaching skills - so sessions become easier and transformational.
✨Black Friday Sales through 11/30/25✨
The Problems We Solve:
You were trained to find the problems & educate - not to guide behavior change in real life.
Sessions often slip into info-dumping and leave clients overwhelmed.
Your training has not included a safe and accessible place to practice & get feedback to build that confidence. So you rely on what you know: education & handouts.
The result: brilliant knowledge that does not translate into client action.
Our programs are designed with you in mind. Everything we create aims to provide you with the knowledge & practical application so you can apply person-centered evidence-based coaching strategies into your sessions right away. We offer different levels of support through our varied programming. Find our which is best for you by taking the quiz below (pending):
The Nutrition Counseling Academy's Approach:
Connection-Driven Change ModelTM
Every program, workshop, and training we offer maps to these three pillars that turn your nutrition counseling sessions into consistent, client-led change.
#1. Applied Behavior Psychology
Turn evidence into easy, ethical tools you can use tomorrow—habit loops, values work, decisional balance, and MI micro-skills (OARS) that actually land.
#2. Connection-First Coaching
From lecturing to collaborating. Learn client-led conversations, effective session structures, question banks, and scripts that explore motivation, elevate autonomy, dignity, and compassion.
#3. Practice - Feedback - Confidence Loop
Skills stick through reps. Build confidence fast with self-reflection, live role-plays, coaching labs, case consults, and personalized feedback mapped to an MI-aligned rubric in our hybrid program (Coach with Confidence).

"This program is allowing me to be a better nutrition counselor vs. educator. Join this program if you want to further your counseling skills."
— Carol, RD
The Empowering Change Membership program has helped me improve my confidence in my nutrition counseling skills. Having access to monthly CDR-approved education and training webinars has made it much easier to meet my CEU requirements. I appreciate that the webinars are self-paced and that I have lifetime access to the recordings, allowing me to revisit topics whenever I need a refresher. Most importantly, it has provided access to RD mentors from diverse backgrounds and different levels of experience. This has been the most crucial part of the membership, and the area where I've experienced the most growth. This is an incredible opportunity and resource, particularly for newer dietitians who require additional support as they begin their careers. I highly recommend the Empowering Change Membership program and can't imagine going without it!
— Maria, RD

Watch the Free Training: "When Clients Expect You To Do All The Work"
Short, tactical lesson showing exactly how to reframe sessions and use two MI micro‑skills that prompt client ownership within one visit — free and immediate.
