Group Programmes
Fast Track
Create and launch your own programme in just four months.
Are you finding it challenging to generate a consistent income from 1:1 client work? Does your practice feel a bit feast or famine? Would you like to get off this revenue rollercoaster?
Online nutrition courses and group programmes can be a lucrative additional revenue stream for Nutrition Professionals. Whilst 1:1 clients can be rewarding, they can also be intense and draining, and offering group programmes can be a way to bring in more income with a ‘lighter touch’ service. Group programmes can also allow you to support a wider range of clients who may not yet be ready for a personalised nutrition programme or have a more limited budget.
A SHORT, FOCUSED TRAINING & PERSONAL MENTORING PROGRAMME
Group Programmes
Fast Track

“I joined Zest4life five years ago when I graduated from CNELM as I didn't know where to start with marketing my business, how to set up a website, etc. I wanted support as I knew I would be working by myself being a self-employed Nutritional Therapist.
Over the last three years I have run several successful online group programmes. I found the Zest done-for-you food plans and marketing materials extremely useful when constructing a 3-week detox programme. I was slightly blown away by the clients' results and feedback. They absolutely loved it, with one client describing it as 'life-changing!'.
Offering online group programmes has had a real impact on my practice. It has massively increased my audience and doubled the number of people I now work with. I find running groups really uplifting as the group supports each other and even when one person is stuck, the rest of the group are sharing their successes. Plus it has doubled my revenue!"
NICKY DENVIR
"I would really encourage anyone who is thinking of offering a group programme to listen to Helen's great webinars on running an online group and just do it. All participants have been amazed by the quality of the content, and it makes life for us so much easier - so a very big thank you Zest. Feedback even after the first week of following the food plan has been really positive."
SARAH DAVIDSON
"I am certain my business would not be where it is today without the support and guidance that I have received ever since joining Zest4life.
I now have easy access to really top class resources which I regularly use with my clients. Most of all, being part of this team means I quickly gained confidence to know I am doing the best thing for my clients."
CAROLINE O'NEILL
"I've just finished running a very successful 14-day detox. The materials were brilliant to use and the done-for-you email and Facebook posts were great for giving me ideas of what to post regularly. The feedback has been amazing. I have run programmes in the past but I found the content and materials provided made it so easy and professional looking."

Work with our
Nutrition Business Mentors

During the four month programme you will have eight sessions with your very own personal Business Mentor. You will usually speak to your Nutrition Business Mentor twice a month to give you clarity and focus, together with accountability and feedback on where to focus your energy and attention to generate results.
We have a highly skilled team of mentors based in the UK, Ireland, Spain and South Africa and they work with practitioners based in a wide range of countries. They all run their own nutrition practices and have a proven track record of delivering group programmes. They can support you to get clear on your group programme theme, define what to offer, how you will promote it and which collaborators you want to work with. Spending time on marketing and building your audience before you launch your group programme will ensure it has the best chance of being filled with clients. Once you’ve put your marketing plan and course content in place, they will support you and hold you accountable whilst you put your plan into action.
They will get to know you, and your business and be someone you can trust and turn to when you need to make decisions, offering constructive feedback as you launch and run your group programme.
We believe that business mentoring is key for Nutrition Professionals if they wish to grow their business. As a business owner, not only are you responsible for seeing clients in clinic, but also growing and developing your business to its full potential. Imagine being able to earn the revenue you want to, achieve that elusive work life balance and really enjoy running your own practice.

-
How much does it cost?The monthly membership costs £59 a month (inc VAT) and the price will remain the same for life. The price will increase the next time the doors are open, though your price will always remain the same. You can also choose to pay £295 for six months for the price of five months, so you get one month included for free.
-
How long do I need to commit for?You can be a Zestie as long as you like! The minimum period is just one month. Your membership fee is paid monthly and you can stop your membership at any time. However if you leave you won't be able to rejoin until the next time we open for enrolment - usually every 6 months. If you take the six month option for £295 then your initial contract length is six months. When the six months ends you can choose to stay on for another six months at £295 or pay £59 per month, or leave. The choice is entirely up to you.
-
How much time does it take to work through all the Club membership training modules?The programmes in our Training Academy are available for you to access in bite-sized chunks at any time, 24/7. If you can find just one hour each week to watch the lessons, together with 1-2 hours to put what you have learnt into practice, you will make steady progress. If you have more time you can work through the all modules at your own pace, you get access to all the training as soon as you join. We've seen newly qualified practitioners follow the pathway and be fully set up with their website, pricing structure, practice management systems and seeing their first clients within three months of qualifying. It really depends how much time you have to work on your business.
-
What if I don't have enough time to keep up with everything?Unlike a course there is no such thing as “falling behind” when it comes to a membership so we would encourage you to see it as a treasure trove of resources you can dip into when you need to, rather than something you have to "keep up with". Not enough hours in the day is a big challenge for so many nutrition business owners so we aim to help you, by having greater clarity on what your next step is, and a laser focus on just one high impact thing at a time. Attending the welcome webinar and visioning session will help you with this. By following our six-stage pathway you will have less things to focus on, and so more time to focus on those things that really matter.
-
Will I receive 1-2-1 business mentoring?There are fortnightly Group Coaching events in the Club, during which you are welcome to raise questions and receive personal support. The Club Facebook Group is there to support you too. If you are seeking personal 1-2-1 mentoring, our signature 12 month business mentoring programme is designed for this: https://www.zest4lifebusiness.com/mentoring-programmes
-
Is the Zest4life Health Coaching Course included within the club membership?Zest4life are also experts in Health Coaching Training for Nutrition Professionals. As a Zest4life Club member you will receive £100 discount on our BANT and NTOI accredited 6 week health coaching live training course, which runs twice a year, the next one starts in November.
-
I'm not based in the UK. Is the Club suitable for me?The Club pathway has been developed to be relevant to Nutrition Professionals in lots of different countries. We have Nutrition Business Mentors based in the UK, Ireland, Spain and South Africa who all contribute their knowledge and expertise to the training in the Club. We already have lots of Club members from different locations including UK, Ireland, Spain, Switzerland, Greece, South Africa, Canada, Australia and the Middle East who are making a success of their business. Wherever you are based you will be made very welcome by our diverse community.
-
Do you have Club membership intakes throughout the year?We currently open the Club membership for enrolment every 6 months. We only open enrolment for short periods so that the rest of the time we can be fully focused on our members and ensuring they have an amazing experience, rather than diluting our focus with sales and marketing activity. Having new members join only at certain times of year also helps ensure a safe space where everyone has time to get to know each other in between inductions.
-
I'm just starting out. Am I ready?The membership is designed to support you from a standing start. No website? No clients? Just an idea? We'll support you to get those essential foundations in place you need to get your first few paying clients - and you'll be off!
-
I've been in business for years, will I get enough out of it?Lots of Nutrition Professionals work their businesses as a side hustle. If you’ve been doing this for years, then the Club membership is ideal for helping you to build up to a full time income. If you’re at the stage where you have an established business and are thinking about creating online programmes, employing associates or setting up a membership to scale further then our personal business mentoring programmes maybe more suitable for helping you to build up to a six-figure income: https://www.zest4lifebusiness.com/nutrition-business-growth
-
I'm already overwhelmed, will this add to this?What we see is that most nutrition business owners are overwhelmed because they have simply taken on too much. They are trying to juggle too many marketing strategies that are not yielding results or getting the attention of their ideal clients, following too many different business models, or being unclear on the most impactful next step for them. So, of course, it's a recipe for overwhelm and burnout. One of the things you get with this membership is a six-stage pathway designed specifically for Nutrition Professionals where you are clear on the next best step for you, and can start doing less activity that has a high impact, rather than lots of activity that either doesn't work for you or isn't right for your stage of business.
-
What if it turns out it's not for me?We believe you'll get amazing value from being a member of the Nutrition Business Success Club. However, if you don’t feel you are getting value you can cancel your monthly membership at any time by emailing membersupport@zest4life.com. If you take the six month option for £295 then your initial contract length is six months. When the six months ends you can choose to stay on for another six months at £295 or pay £59 per month, or leave. The decision is completely up to you.
