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.

SIFU 5EFITTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this place! Super knowledgeable and very helpful! 10 out of 10!!! - SIFU Eric ToenniesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been sending patients to Branz for a while now and there is nobody I trust more than these nutritionist and dieticians. They actually care about you and take a deep dive into your life to see what all is the reason or reasons that you cannot obtain the results you are looking for. They provide a great plan on how to get you from A to B in the best way possible. My favorite part of their care is when a patient comes back and tells me how thorough they have been in covering what is going on. Loshi VueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough great things about this practice! The team brings professionalism, heart, and deep clinical expertise to every discussion. Their initiative to keep learning, growing, and leading within the field of nutrition truly sets them apart! HeatherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve worked with Branz Nutrition Counseling on several occasions, and each experience has been exceptional. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but what really sets them apart is how down-to-earth and approachable they are. 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. We’ll continue to refer people to Branz because we trust they’ll be met with compassion, respect, and real expertise.

Michelle’s warmness and professionalism shine through in every interaction, and she creates an environment where clients feel safe, supported, and truly cared for. As someone who frequently refers clients her way, I have complete trust in Michelle’s expertise and compassionate approach. I know that anyone I send to her will be met with thoughtful, individualized care, and that peace of mind is invaluable. I cannot recommend Michelle and Branz Nutrition Counseling highly enough! Hannah MilksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Michelle Wilson is a joy. She approaches each person as a human, not a "patient". She naturally balances humor and light heartedness with the necessary dedication, thoughtfulness, and empathy required to create meaningful change in people's lives. I highly recommend working with Michelle. Megan GleicherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Michelle enough.
