Dietitian Mentorship
Support to set goals, grow, and explore in your career and personal development
What is Mentorship?
Your mentor is someone you can go to for honest, non-judgmental advice. They are there to listen to you and support your growth whether you are a student, new graduate or looking to make changes to your current career.
Mentoring provides you with space and support to discuss what ideas and concerns you might have, help identify and set goals that align with your values, thoughtful connection with a variety of possible resources based on your needs, support for developing new skills and knowledge so you can grow in the a direction you might like to head in.
Mentorship may be right for you if:
- You have a lot of ideas about how you want to practice, but aren’t sure what to do next
- You may be considering transitioning into, or looking to start with, a non diet approach or Intuitive Eating approach
- You feel isolated in your academics or work
- You feel stuck without a good support network to talk career path and personal development things through with
- You are looking for support in creating a career plan for yourself
- You have a lot of questions about different things that related to finding your career path or life work balance and aren’t sure where to find answers
As a new graduate dietitian, learning from Lisa has been such a positive and rich experience. With such compassion, thoughtfulness and deep passion for this work, Lisa has both inspired me and helped me gain a working understanding of what it means to practice from a non-diet approach through her generous sharing of insights, practical experiences and resources.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Mentorship vs Supervision
Mentorship focuses on supporting your career and personal development through provision of professional guidance and support. In mentorship, together we may explore your values, goal setting, personal needs, find tune interests or make plans for experiences to help you do so, learn about resources/programs/people who might be helpful to connect with, have space to express your excitement and fears about where you are and where you might want to go.
Supervision focuses on progressing your clinical practice through reflection and provision of professional guidance and support. This relationship involves deeper work for both supervisor and supervisee and would include topics such as specific clinical case consultation and problem solving not part of a mentorship program or relationship.
