Founder of Rebecca Bitzer and Associates: A Dietitian for Every Condition
How did you get started in your career?
I have always been drawn to food, nutrition, and psychology. I also wanted to help people so a Registered Dietitian seemed like a natural fit for me.
Like many dietitians, I started working at a hospital, then worked for the government and lastly started a private practice.
Once I started my private practice, I loved spending time doing one-on-one medical nutrition therapy. Soon, I learned that I had a natural gift as a counselor which inspired me to become a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian.
Over time, I hired other dietitians and realized that it was essential for me to develop strong business skills. Subsequently, I have learned that many Registered Dietitians are in need of such skills, so I help others who want to start and/or expand their own practices.
I love to inspire and empower professionals to think big and dream big.

What advice would you give to someone new to the field?
Learn and practice extraordinary self care. Practicing self-care requires commitment and intention. Make sure that you schedule some daily self care to help you bring your best self to work and that you have energy to take to your personal life.
Self care also includes asking for help, especially if you are in private practice and/or working with clients with eating disorders. Make sure that you put key people in place in your life to help you grow personally and professionally. Doing this will help prevent you from burning out. It will help you counsel your clients better and also make your counseling much more authentic, powerful and inspirational.
To find out more about self care by following our Instagram and to find out how we can help empower your career, reach out to me at [email protected] to set up a complimentary coaching session.
