Introducing:
The Empowering Change Membership
Where evidence-based behavior change strategies meet real-world nutrition counseling.
For just $34.99/month, you’ll get monthly trainings (with CEUs!), live coaching, and the kind of mindset and skillset upgrade that makes you feel like the confident, client-transforming practitioner you trained to be.
This Membership is
for you if:
Your client nods in agreement… then shows up next week having made zero progress.
You feel like you’re saying the same things on repeat—but nothing’s sticking.
You’re stuck in the “education hamster wheel” when you know it’s a behavior problem, not a knowledge one.
You walk away from sessions wondering if you even made an impact.
You’re craving professional growth in the psychology of change… but don’t have the time to search for CEUs that actually apply to your real-world sessions.
After joining, you'll feel:
✨ More confident in your sessions
✨ Less frustrated when clients don’t do the thing
✨ Equipped with language that creates connection, not resistance
✨ Clear on how to guide—not drag—your clients through change
✨ Like the go-to expert on your team for sustainable change
Why this membership actually works
For less than the price of a single CEU course, join the membership that’s changing how dietitians show up, lead change, and finally feel confident counseling for behavior change.
Join now and get instant access to the full vault of trainings.
Cancel anytime. But you probably won’t want to.

Understanding "resistance"
“Im really grateful to have these brainstorming sessions every month its definitely helped me feel like I have a support system since I am in private practice by myself. I dont often have other RDs to talk through these problems with so I really appreciate everything that I've learned.”
"The January presentation went through the neurobiology of how change works and I really really enjoyed having the info from a scientific perspective to make things very factual and also to reduce shame with clients.”
Meet the Founder
Joyce is a nutrition counseling coach with a passion for empowering fellow dietitians and nutrition professionals to enhance their coaching and counseling skills, equipping them to better support and retain their clients while promoting lasting behavior change. With a Ph.D. in Nutrition and Mental Health, years as a tenure-track professor, and former nutrition program manager at a clinic, she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her work.
Driven by her belief that counseling skills are paramount to client success, she has become a sought-after mentor. She is the founder and CEO of the Nutrition Counseling Academy. She believes that a practitioner's medical nutrition therapy and nutrition knowledge are just as important as their counseling skills to support behavioral changes.
In addition to mentoring practitioners, Joyce runs her private practice, Joyceful Nutrition, where she supports clients through a culturally inclusive and weight-inclusive approach. She helps individuals build a healthier relationship with food, navigate life transitions, and create sustainable nutrition habits that align with their personal values and health goals.
