Group Mentoring

A 5-month group mentoring program with Lina because “a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle” - Rumi.

Who is this for?

If you’re a dietitian working in home tube feeding, this mentoring program is exactly what you need to build confidence, enhance your skills, build a community of tubie dietitain friends, and elevate the care you provide. Whether you're feeling uncertain about managing feeding tubes, stoma sites, equipment, or handling stock orders in the community or home setting, you’ll gain the expertise and support for 5 continuous months!

Designed for dietitians in both hospital and private practice settings, this program empowers you to approach home tube feeding with competence, intention, and a clear sense of purpose. You’ll also become part of a thriving, supportive community of dietitians who understand your challenges and are eager to help you grow. Join us!

How does it work? 

Join us for 90-minute masterclasses once a month for five months, held from 9:30 to 11:00 AM Melbourne time on the fourth Tuesday of each month from July to November (on Google Meet). You'll also benefit from virtual continuous chat group support (on WhatsApp), keeping us connected for real-time feedback on client cases or any tube feeding curiosities that arise during the program. Plus, you’ll have unlimited email or phone call support from Lina throughout the entire five-month mentoring experience.

The program offer is:

  • Community connection: we only accept 10-12 dietitians for each cohort of mentees, maximising the opportunity for close collaboration.

  • Virtual chat group support on WhatsApp for the 5-months to really get to know each other and share new knowledge and practice tips in the area on the go!

  • Interactive masterclasses: Five virtual 90-minute sessions spread across 5-months on Google Meet. Each session may include:

    • 20 minutes of a journal article discussion

    • 20 minutes of a clinical case study

    • 20 minutes on a tubie product or service

    • 20 minutes of open discussion

  • Masterclass topics include (but are not exclusive to):

    • Quality of life & home tube feeding

    • The feeding tube & tubie equipment

    • The nutrition assessment

    • Troubleshooting common issues

    • Homemade blended tube feeding

    • Navigating the current home tube feeding landscape to maximise your support ability

  • Access to exclusive resources relevant to the topic of the masterclass with ongoing 6-month access to that Google Drive folder after mentoring completion.

  • Certificate of compeltion: All mentees receive a certificate of completion which can be used to claim 7.5 hours of CPD hours with Dietitians Australia under the “mentoring activity” category.

“I provide accurate, efficient, and evidence-based guidance for solving home tube-feeding challenges, with practical advice and insights into the rationale behind each recommendation. Drawing from 15 years of clinical hospital experience, 5 years leading a community-based home tube-feeding service, developing the Dietitians Australia HEN course, and ongoing PhD research, I bring depth and clarity to every session. As an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian and author of two books on home tube feeding, I also serve on national HEN committees (e.g., AuSPEN’s HEN and Blended Tube Feeding Subcommittees) and am a regular speaker at national and international events. I’m excited to share this expertise through a group mentoring program designed for dietitians who want to advance their confidence in home tube feeding.”
