I help registered dietitians build profitable private practices
I’m Julie Cunningham. I’m an RD and a CDCES.
In 2020, I opened a diabetes-focused private practice—two weeks before the pandemic brought outpatient services to a screeching halt.
First, I did what any reasonable person would do. I panicked.
Then, I went to work. To make a long story short, my business survived, and then thrived.
Since then, I've helped dozens of RDs start and grow their businesses, and I can help you, too.
You can build a profitable private practice that fits your life.
I sat on the fence for years before I finally started my own business.
What I didn’t know when I was sitting on the fence: demand for services isn’t a problem. People are out there right now looking for exactly what you do. They're googling their symptoms, asking their doctors for referrals, and searching for someone with your specific expertise. The only question is whether they can find you — and whether your message speaks directly to them when they do.
The real shift came when I stopped letting fear keep me on someone else's schedule and started building something I owned: finding my niche, getting in front of the right people, and making it easy for them to say yes.
Now I help other RDs skip the expensive mistakes and open the doors to their first private practice clients without spending years figuring it out alone.
You can do this too. Even with a full-time job. Even as a parent. Even if the business side feels completely foreign right now.
Your patients are already looking for you. Now you need to help them find you.
