Here's what Dietitian Jana Spindler had to say about working at Health Stand:
“I originally joined Health Stand eager to join a team of RDs who “get it”, instead of working on my own, and I wanted the flexibility that comes with the position. What I have gained from this job has been way more than just an awesome team and flexibility with my time. I have grown as a nutrition counsellor and have really fine-tuned my skills with the support of Health Stand. I don’t have to worry about sales or marketing or the business side of things which allows me to focus on client care! Throughout my career here, I have felt supported to learn or grow in whatever way felt best for me which has included trainings, writing and speaking skills, course development, and of course, client focused care.”
