Jodie is the founder and CEO of 3 private practice businesses; Optimum Intake Dietitians, Myrtle Oak Clinic and Elevated Dietetics.
With a passion for strengthening the private practice sector for dietitians, in 2022, Jodie has launched Elevated Dietetics, a business coaching service, Supporting clinic-based, private practice dietitian business owners who want to increase their impact, influence and income. Dietitians who want to step back from some client work, yet are unsure how to hire and delegate work to someone else and free up their time so you can spend more time working on the business, not always in the business. Allowing time to focus on strategic planning, building authentic relationships and team leadership to grow their services and business. I use my experience to support private practice dietitians to get clarity on where they want their business to thrive and grow and the steps in the process to get them there.
As the founder of Myrtle Oak Clinic, Jodie had a vision to provide a welcoming space for people struggling with food, body image, exercise, and weight issues, a place where people can access compassionate care and treatment via a collaborative approach of psychological and dietary services. The Myrtle Oak Team has filled that vision by creating an eating disorder focused service that is driven to inspire health, wellbeing and recovery in a meaningful way through enjoyment, satisfaction, self-care and nourishment.
