Pursuing Private Practice

05/27/2026

Most of us registered dietitians were trained to care deeply, give generously, and do good work.

But we were not trained to make decisions about money, time, marketing, leadership, hiring, sustainability, or growth.

We were not trained to take up space in business. That's why I’m hosting a free live training next week all about boundaries for business success!

Join me on Wednesday, June 3rd at 12pm ET for 𝟓 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬. In this workshop, we’ll talk about the boundaries that actually help you lead your business:

𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬​
Stop undercharging, start paying yourself as a business owner, and invest in your growth.

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬​
Your calendar reflects your priorities, whether you agree or not.

𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬​
Figure out who you want to work with, market to your ideal client, and do good work.

𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬​
Hire a team that meets your expectations for the support you need.

𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐔𝐩 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞​
Go after what you want without waiting for permission.

As per usual, I'll stay after the workshop for personalized coaching and Q&A!

I'd love to see you there. Sign up now!

A free workshop for dietitians ready to move from overwhelmed provider to confident business owner. Learn the 5 boundaries that help you stop undercharging, protect your time, attract aligned clients, lead with confidence, and take up space in your business.

Strong private practice work is not just about knowing the science. It is also about understanding the client’s lived experience, knowing when to collaborate with other providers, and continuing to grow your expertise over time.

In this week’s episode of the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast, I sat down with Rachelle Mallik , reproductive dietitian and founder of The Food Therapist, for a conversation about building a private practice within the reproductive health space, supporting clients through vulnerable seasons of life, and using clinical expertise to create new opportunities in business.

In this episode, Rachelle shares the story behind her 20‑year journey from an IVF patient coordinator at Weill Cornell to a reproductive dietitian who now supports clients through every stage of their reproductive lifespan.

We discuss how dietitians can provide thoughtful, ethical support while knowing when to bring in other providers, and how dietitians can grow their specialty beyond one-on-one care.

Rachelle’s story is a powerful reminder that you can expand beyond client care and into areas like supervision and professional development within your area of expertise.

“There is so much fear and diet culture in the diabetes space, but it’s often just brushed off as medical advice.”

In Season 4 Episode 5 of The Pursuing Private Practice Podcast, I’m joined by Megan Cremins , a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer specializing in Type 1 Diabetes.

Megan shares how her own diabetes diagnosis shaped the way she supports clients today, helping them move away from fear-based food rules and toward more confidence with blood sugars, technology, and real-life eating.

We discuss the various ways dietitians can work in the diabetes space, the importance of community, and what it can look like to build a sustainable private practice.

So many dietitians enter this field because of personal experiences. Maybe it was their own health journey. Maybe it was watching a family member struggle. Maybe it was seeing firsthand how confusing, overwhelming, or even harmful nutrition advice can be when it doesn’t take the whole person into account.

When that experience is paired with clinical training, compassion, and the courage to build something of your own, it can become the foundation for deeply meaningful work.

In this week’s episode of the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast, I sat down with Megan Cremins , a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer specializing in Type 1 Diabetes, for a conversation about the value of lived experience, the importance of meeting clients where they are, and what it can look like to build a sustainable practice in a specialty you care deeply about.

Megan’s story offers a roadmap for turning personal challenges into professional triumphs.

She turned her lived experience into a sustainable, purpose-driven practice, helping clients navigate their own Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis with more ease.

This episode focuses on both the client experience and the business decisions that come when running a practice, and offers inspiration for dietitians looking to start their own practice, grow their audience, or gain more knowledge about diabetes care.
