Do you ever leave follow-up sessions wondering, What are we even doing here?

If you're like many dietitians, the trouble with follow-ups often starts earlier than you'd think.

When the initial session is rushed or surface-level, or feels more like an information-gathering exercise than a conversation, you don't have much to build on.

So you over-prepare for every follow-up session, wing it, or end up repeating the same conversations visit over visit.

Clients feel that too. When sessions feel repetitive or aimless, they don't see their own progress, and that's often when they quietly drop off and don’t come back.

The good news is that you don't need to spend more time prepping.

In this workshop, you'll learn a simple, repeatable structure for both initial sessions and follow-up visits, so you feel confident going into (and leaving) sessions, and your clients leave with better outcomes.



The Workshop Will Cover:

  • How your intake paperwork starts building the relationship and retention before the first session

  • How to facilitate a strong initial visit by laying the foundation and beginning to build trust and safety

  • Tips on how to open the initial nutrition assessment session to support long-term, sustainable, and meaningful change

  • What questions to ask during your initial assessment (and what not to ask)

  • How to structure a follow-up session

  • Tips on how to follow what's present for your client in the moment, while also keeping the bigger picture in view.

  • A behind-the-scenes look at my Session-by-Session Retention Roadmap in action.

  • A mini case study showing the structure from first session to follow-up

Confidently structure your nutrition visits so clients come back and so you can

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Alissa Rumsey, MS, RD, CDN, CSCS


Hi! I'm Alissa Rumsey (she/her), a registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, author, business coach, and the founder of The Liberated Clinician.

With 18 years of experience in clinical nutrition, eating disorder care, and entrepreneurship, I help clinicians turn their expertise into thriving businesses through simple systems, ethical marketing, and client-centered care.

The Liberated Clinician bridges the gap between clinical skills and business confidence, showing you how to create purpose-driven practices that support both your clients and your own well-being.

My approach is rooted in weight-inclusive, trauma-informed care and a deep belief that dietitians and clinicians shouldn’t have to choose between integrity and income. Through courses, workshops, and coaching, I have helped hundreds of clinicians start, grow, and streamline their private practices.

I am also the author of Unapologetic Eating and the founder of Rumsey Nutrition Consulting, my nutrition practice, where I have spent over a decade supporting clients with a compassionate, non-diet approach to health and nutrition.

I've built flexible session structures for my own private practice for over 11 years and now teach them to other clinicians.

I love working with other health professionals to challenge the 'status quo' in nutrition care and business. Let's reframe what is possible as clinicians – and do it together.
