Build a practice that fills, pays and runs itself
The Legacy Practice Builder is 6 months of 1:1 business mentoring for nutritionists, naturopaths and nutrition students in New Zealand and Australia. You get the exact systems I use to run Legacy Nutrition, and you learn them from the client side of Practice Better.
Good in the room, quiet in the calendar
Your nutrition training taught you the clinical work. Nobody taught you how to start a nutrition practice and keep it full.
"My clients get great results, but I can't find enough of them."
No clear niche, no offer people understand, and referrals that come in fits and starts.
"I sell single sessions and never know what next month looks like."
Clients drop off after one or two visits because there is no programme holding them.
"Admin eats the hours I should be spending with clients."
Forms, reminders, write-ups and payments done by hand, every week.

Good to know
Do I need my own Practice Better account?
No. You do the programme as a client, which is the point. If you decide to use it for your own practice later, modules 3 and 4 show you how to set it up.
How do the appointments work?
You get 7 one-on-one appointments: a kickoff when you start, then a catch-up once a month for 6 months. You book them from your Practice Better portal, and between them you work through the modules and homework.
I'm still studying. Is it too early?
No. Students are welcome. You can build your niche, offer and systems while you study, so you're ready to take clients the day you qualify.
How do I start a nutrition practice in New Zealand?
Start with a clear niche, one signature programme priced from your capacity, and a simple booking and onboarding system. Modules 1 to 4 walk you through exactly that, including GST and Practice Better set-up, so you are ready to take paying clients.
Do you mentor naturopaths and practitioners in Australia?
Yes. The programme suits nutritionists and naturopaths, and every appointment is online, so you can join from anywhere in New Zealand or Australia.
Is this clinical supervision?
No. This is business mentoring. Clinical decisions stay with you and your professional body.
How much time does it take?
Plan on 2 to 3 hours a fortnight: one module and its homework, plus one catch-up a month.
This is business mentoring, not clinical supervision. Results depend on the work you put in, and no income outcome is guaranteed.
