Five essential lessons from my 20+ years in practice — the advice I wish I’d had at the start. Whether you’re still training or already seeing clients, these tips will help you work more effectively (and with far less overwhelm).
A QUICK HELLO — I’M NICOLA
I’ve been working as a practising nutritional therapist for over 20 years, and for 12 of those years, I held senior academic roles at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION) — including four years as Head of Clinics. In that time, I’ve mentored hundreds of practitioners and students, helping them feel more confident in their clinical reasoning, grow their businesses, and enjoy the work they trained so hard for.
I know what it’s like to feel out of your depth with a tricky client case, to wonder if you’re “doing it right,” or to struggle to make the leap from theory to confident, real-world practice. My role is to help you navigate those challenges — and to make your professional life a whole lot easier.
