Meet Joyce Faraj-Ardura

Dietitian, counseling coach, & Founder of the Nutrition Counseling Academy

Meet Joyce - Registered Dietitian, CEO, Founder of the Nutrition Counseling Academy, and former tenure-track (now adjunct) professor of nutrition and dietetics.

In 2021, Joyce was looking for better, more inclusive, and practical resources for her students. Unable to find the resources she wanted, she started finding creative ways to support not only her students, but also fellow RDs so they could feel more confident in the work they do. This is how the Nutrition Counseling Academy was born.

Now Joyce empowers other RDs with the knowledge, strategies, and skills to better support their clients and gain the confidence they deserve. You're in the trusted hands of a colleague who wants nothing but for you to succeed!
