Experience & Expertise – Work With Erica

The operation of a group practice presents specific difficulties when working with medical nutrition therapy and eating disorder patients alongside managing insurance claims and leading the team.

 

My personal experience guides my coaching services, which focus on helping RDs and practice owners. I provide practical support to your practice through real-world experience and insights that address your needs, whether you need help with your first team hire, operational streamlining, or insurance system guidance.

Real Dietitian Practice Mentorship (RDPM)

Honest business support for dietitians ready to grow something real.

You became a dietitian to help people, not to drown in business questions, burnout, or comparison. Whether you’re building your practice from scratch or stuck trying to scale sustainably, Real Dietitian Practice Mentorship is designed to give you the real-world support you need to move forward with clarity, confidence, and a business that reflects your values.

 

Led by Erica Branz, founder of Branz Nutrition Counseling, this mentorship program isn’t built on buzzwords or pressure to “scale fast.” It’s built on lived experience, trial and error, and a deep understanding of what it actually takes to grow a nutrition business while staying true to your life and goals.

Our Testimonials

Thank you for choosing us as the Best Dietitian Practice in STL (2023)

by H, Illinois

Talking about food and eating behaviors can be very vulnerable—much like discussing any other mental health concern—and it makes a huge difference to work with people who meet you with kindness and zero judgment. The team at Branz truly makes people feel supported. They’re not there to lecture or shame; they’re there to help.

by T, Saint Louis, MO

Wasn’t expecting that response, you are the first dietitian that looked at the good and not my one bad day.

by E, Saint Louis, MO

Thanks for helping me think about food differently and providing guidance regarding how to select carbs. Also, thanks for helping me recognize that the evolution would take several months to come to a ‘new normal’.

by C, Saint Louis, MO

I truly appreciate the encouragement and hearfelt, genuine concern you have for me. Your counsel and empathy have meant a great deal and helped keep me going during difficult times.

“For most of my life, I have correlated the size of my body to being loved and accepted. The smaller I am, the more lovable and acceptable I am. Giving up the dieting, the rules, and the noise has given me the freedom to trust, appreciate and accept love from others as well as myself”.

by Mother of a Patient, Saint Louis, MO

I am truly grateful we found you to be he nutritionist. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

by Mother of a Patient, Saint Louis, MO

Thank you for the caring devoted service and gentle compassion you have shown “S” over the years.

by Mother of a Patient

I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for us. I know we will continue to deal with food issues but at least I see hope. I honestly don’t know how L(or myself) could have got through the past year without you. You literally are a lifesaver!! You are an amazing dietitian!!.

by Mother of a Patient, Saint Louis, MO

Also, again, thank you for being so kind to “A”. She usually does not like seeing “doctor like people”, but she actually enjoys coming to see you, so that says a lot.
