‘Tara’s ‘Practice Pavestones Newsletter’ is always insightful with great user-friendly content. I highly recommend it as a tool and resource for health professionals looking not only to support their clinical work, but very importantly, as a regular reminder to do the best we can to take care of ourselves as well.’

‘Tara’s Newsletter is a must for Dietitians who want to be effective nutrition counsellors. She packs in lots of practical hints and wording ideas in each post. All this while being terribly fun to read! I look forward to each issue.’

‘Thank you for providing such a wonderful profession specific resource. I really love the specific examples, the summary at the end and the targeted reflective practice points. I work as a clinical educator for final year students on placement in an acute facility and am finding so many valuable points to improve the way I interact with students but also so many examples I can use to help students build their interactions with patients. I have also already been able to direct my APD mentee directly to subscribing to your newsletter after she expresses some learning goals around improving her counselling skills, perfect timing! Keep the wisdom coming, it is very much appreciated!’

‘Tara, I just wanted to commend you on this wonderful resource and to thank you for the time and commitment that it must take to make it happen. It lives and breathes your passion for the people we deal with and the counselling tools that are there for us to use to assist our clients. Well done, your drive and passion are an inspiration to us all.’

‘The way Tara is able to explain more effective ways of working together with clients is such a wonderful support for all Dietitians and reminds us that we do indeed have to look beyond the nuts and bolts of nutrition to truly connect with real people. Thank you so much Tara, I see Practice Pavestones as a wonderful gift in my inbox each month, I love it!’

‘Thank you Tara MacGregor! As an educator of future dietitians I am always looking to fill the need for current, insightful comment coupled with practical ways to practise the less tangible aspects of dietetic practice. I recommend Practice Pavestones not only to my students, but to new graduates and dietetic colleagues alike.’

‘Tara’s newsletter Practice Pavestones is a welcome addition to my monthly professional reading.  It stands out with compassionate views, an authentic voice and evidence-based research delivered with light-hearted tone. With Practice Pavestones Tara is leading the way in advocating for a client-centred approach in Australian health care, dietetic education in particular. Her many years of experience as a dietitian and counsellor are evident; her skills as a writer and her expertise in training and supervision mean that the insights and practical ideas presented in each publication are well considered, thought provoking and help me evolve as professional. I hope Practice Pavestones becomes required reading for all students considering a career in the health sciences. I dearly wish I had this resource as new graduate! ‘

‘Thank you Tara for yet another incredible newsletter…. reading them is so calming, exciting and motivating all at once!’

‘I want to say how refreshing and inspiring I found your latest newsletter. I am excited to find such an informative, funny and beautifully crafted piece of writing [including everything from poignant quotes, clever analysis and reflective practices]. You paint a wonderful picture! Thank you for your work. I have a lot to learn but I feel a little more assured in my beliefs/digestion of nutrition and dietetics training thus far after coming across this.’

‘Tara’s commitment to spreading the word that the working partnership that is ‘counsellor’ and ‘client’ beneficially contains less ‘I’ and more ‘You’, is timely and inspiring. I’ve been in private practice as a psychotherapist and family counsellor for almost 20 years. I’ve served on the state and federal professional bodies, taught counselling skills to graduate students and intern psychologists and presently supervise a number of counsellors. And yet I am reminded of important aspects of the work, learn new skills and access fresh resources as I read each issue of Practice Pavestones.’

‘Hi Tara, I absolutely love your newsletter! Thank you! Having just started working in the area of disordered eating I have found the advice and information invaluable. I am hoping to read all the back issues for my CPD.’
