Naturopathic Sports Nutrition Mentoring
3 MONTH GROUP MENTORING - 12 CPE HOURS
Naturopathic Sports Nutrition Mentoring
As a practitioner and lecturer of Naturopathy, Nutrition and Sports Nutrition for over 25 years it is my great pleasure to also make available an online mentoring program to final year students and practitioners of Naturopathy and Nutrition.
I am now in my 13th year of running online mentoring programs and am excited to announce my new format for a more in-depth and interactive experience.
6 x 2hr group mentoring sessions (online) for case analysis, Q&A, latest research and discussion.
Access to my library of sports nutrition resources, downloads, meal plans and guides.
Access the private discussion forum for questions, insights and sharing with myself and fellow practitioners.
All session recordings and resources will be available online at any time during and after the program.
About Mentoring With Me
This mentoring program is designed specifically for practitioners — naturopaths, nutritionists, and health professionals — who want to deepen their applied sports nutrition skills in a real-world, clinical way.
We’ll be exploring:
- Participant client cases and presentations
-
Meal planning in athletic contexts
-
Supplements and nutrient timing
-
Recovery, performance and metabolic nuances
-
Drugs in sport and practical considerations
-
And whatever emerging themes are relevant to where you are at clinically
This is not another lecture series.
And it’s not a repeat of previous mentoring.
Over three months, we’ll meet for six 2-hour sessions, and the focus will be on discussion, refinement, clinical reasoning, and application.
The discussions will evolve around the level and interests of the cohort. It’s designed to meet you where you are and stretch you from there. Think of this as a working clinical roundtable rather than a classroom.
Working with Kira has been the most valuable thing I have done for my business and myself all year. Kira is extremely knowledgeable in both sports nutrition and naturopathy, and her willingness to share this knowledge makes her the most incredible mentor. I always looked forward to our monthly sessions, and found that I came away not only with practical information to use with my clients, but also the confidence to do so. I can’t speak highly enough of Kira’s mentoring program, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any practitioner looking to expand their knowledge. – Kate Johnston, Naturopath/Nutritionist

“Kira’s mentoring is very informative and definitely worth the investment if you are interested in sports nutrition. She provides great resources and engages everyone in the mentoring sessions. You can envisage her as the ideal team captain both on and off the field!”
Kate S
Sports Nutritionist
“Kira is an outstanding mentor and educator in the area of sports nutrition. Her knowledge and training in this area is exceptional and she has a way of explaining and translating this information to her groups that is simple and practical using case studies and her own examples. You may want to specialise in Sports nutrition or just understand enough to support your current client base, I cannot recommend Kira and her programs more highly.”

6 x 2-hour group mentoring sessions. Plus, there are additional resources to review, as well as participation in the discussion forum between sessions.
The program runs over a 6 month period.
Payment plans are available for this program.
To access the payment plan option, when enrolments are open, you will see the payment plan option at checkout for this program.
Payments are taken via automatic charge to bank card/credit card only.
There are no additional fees for this service unless payments default.
You are responsible for the full due amount for this course, even if you cancel/default, therefore you are responsible to ensure that there are adequate funds available each month to pay the due fees.
To arrange a different payment plan to what is available, this may be an option I can coordinate, please contact me prior to enrolment to organise.
At the end of the program you will receive a certificate of completion and can use the program for CPE points. Typically, you are given 1 point for every 2 hours of education and depending on extra videos, it is likely you will be able to claim 6-12 CPE points for this program.
Please be aware that this class does not give you a diploma or specific qualification; it is a mentoring group and does not enable you to call yourself a sports nutritionist.
Due to the nature of the mentoring, knowledge and cases are required to get the maximum benefit. To enrol in this mentoring program, you MUST have:
- Completed my 8 week Sports Nutrition Course
- Previously completed an Uberhealth Mentoring program
- Completed (or currently enrolled in) a Sports Nutrition course or qualification (i.e. University, TAFE, College)
Therefore, students are welcome where 1 or more of these criteria are met.
There are no "lectures" or set training topics. The focus is on clinical discussion, refinement, reasoning, and application.
The discussions will evolve around the level and interests of the cohort, and whatever Sports Nutrition related themes are coming up in practice for you and other participants.
Think of this as a working clinical roundtable rather than a classroom. It’s designed to meet you where you are and stretch you from there.
This mentoring round is intentionally different.
Previous Uberhealth mentoring programs were more structured in content delivery and included foundational teaching components. This program is not a re-run, an update, or an extension of that material.
This Sports Nutrition Mentoring is:
-
Entirely case-driven – centred around real client presentations (yours and mine)
-
Discussion-based rather than lecture-based
-
Focused on clinical reasoning and refinement, not theory delivery
-
Built around new cases and emerging practitioner needs
-
Tailored to the level and interests of the specific cohort
There is no recycled content.
Instead of me teaching at you for two hours, we’ll work through complex cases together — exploring assessment, differential thinking, meal planning strategies, performance variables, supplement decisions, and where things get nuanced (including drugs in sport and regulatory considerations).
It’s more like professional clinical supervision or peer review than a course.
If you’re looking for passive learning, this isn’t it.
If you’re looking to sharpen your thinking, test your clinical decisions, and deepen your applied sports nutrition skills in a practitioner-level environment, this is exactly what this Mentoring Group is designed for.
I’m a qualified Naturopath, Nutritionist and Herbalist (among other things), and I've been working in naturopathy and sports nutrition for over three decades. Performance nutrition has been a core part of my clinical and personal work throughout that time.
I’ve worked with elite and recreational athletes, sports teams, and active populations across a wide range of contexts — from endurance performance to weight-making sports, physique goals, metabolic health, and women’s and teen health in athletic settings. I’ve managed complex cases involving RED-S, insulin resistance, menstrual dysfunction, fatigue, supplement misuse, and everything in between.
Alongside clinical practice, I’ve lectured extensively in sports nutrition at universities, conferences and events; as well as mentored hundreds of practitioners over my time as a practitioner.
But what really matters is not just qualifications or titles — it’s applied experience. I’ve seen what works in real bodies, under real performance demands, and I’ve also seen where theory falls apart when it meets practice.
My approach combines:
-
A strong grounding in physiology and pathology
-
Practical, realistic meal planning and nutrient timing
-
A clear understanding of supplementation and regulatory considerations
-
Clinical reasoning that adapts to the individual, not just the textbook
-
And a very honest view of trends in the performance space
I’m still actively working with cases. I’m still refining. And I’m still learning as new research comes to light.
This mentoring isn’t about me delivering theory — it’s about sharing decades of clinical insight and helping you sharpen your own applied sports nutrition thinking in a way that’s relevant, rigorous, and practical.
