HOW TO KEEP YOUR SCHEDULE FULL: 9 CLIENT RETENTION TIPS EVERY DIETITIAN SHOULD KNOW
Ever wonder how some dietitians have clients who stick with them for months- or even years- without constantly hustling for new leads? This session will show you exactly how to make that your reality.

Join Maggy Doherty, Registered Dietitian, business coach, and founder of a national group practice, for a deep dive into the strategies that keep dietitians' schedules full and clients engaged. You'll learn how to create the kind of client experience that builds loyalty, drives referrals, and fuels sustainable growth– without relying on endless marketing or social media trends.

In this workshop, you’ll discover:
  • Why retention is your most powerful business growth tool.
  • The 9 core strategies that set the foundation for long-term client relationships.
  • How to design sessions that leave clients feeling supported, motivated, and ready to return.
  • The simple charting tweak that instantly improves connection and follow-through.
  • Easy ways to check in between sessions without crossing boundaries or burning out.
Upon successful completion of this one-hour course, the participant should be able to:
  • Identify at least three key reasons why client retention is critical to private practice sustainability and profitability.


  • Implement a structured session flow that promotes client engagement and improves follow-up attendance rates.


  • Apply advanced communication techniques and strategic questioning to build stronger therapeutic alliances with clients.


  • Develop at least two creative follow-up and re-engagement strategies to maintain client progress between sessions.


  • Evaluate and refine personal or team-based onboarding processes to improve client satisfaction and retention outcomes.
