Understand your health and feel better with tailored nutrition support
When your body does not feel the way it used to, it can be difficult to know where to begin.
You may be concerned about high blood sugar, high cholesterol, being overweight or underweight, digestive issues and stomach pain, or low energy. Perhaps you want to maintain your muscle and bone strength, feel more comfortable around food, or simply feel confident that your eating pattern is supporting your health.
With so much nutrition information available, working out what applies to you can feel overwhelming.
At Wellness Nutrition Solutions, Brisbane dietitian Dorelle Thompson helps you understand how food, lifestyle and health are connected. Together, we turn complex nutrition science into practical changes tailored to your body, preferences and everyday life.
- No rigid rules.
- No unnecessary restriction.
- No judgement.
Just clear, evidence-based nutrition support that helps you feel better and work towards health that lasts.
Dietitian and nutrition services in Brisbane
If you are experiencing changes in your energy, weight, digestion, metabolic health, blood sugar, heart health or your relationship with food, you may be wondering what is really going on in your body.
These concerns are often connected, and nutrition can play an important role. Nutrient gaps, the balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats in your diet, gut health and eating patterns can all influence how you feel and function each day.
We look beyond symptoms to understand the bigger picture of your health, so you can find the support that best matches your needs.

- food-first approach to vitamin and mineral deficiencies, such as low iron, calcium or B12
- guidance about supplements when appropriate

Improve blood sugar, heart health and metabolic health

- cardiovascular health
- fatty liver

Gut health support for stomach pain, IBS, bloating and constipation
Digestive symptoms can make eating confusing and stressful. Receive tailored support for IBS, bloating, constipation, suspected food intolerances and questions about your gut microbiome.
We consider the whole picture, including food, eating patterns, fibre, fluids, stress, sleep and hormonal changes, without automatically placing you on a highly restrictive diet.
Build a healthy relationship with food
Understand the reasons behind emotional eating, mindless eating, large portions, night eating or episodes in which food feels out of control.
Develop practical strategies that help you feel calmer and more confident around food, without another restrictive diet or more shame.
Practical, evidence-based nutrition support from an experienced dietitian
The foods you eat can influence your energy, metabolic health, digestive health, muscle and bone strength, and overall wellbeing. But healthy eating is not about following one perfect diet.
Your nutritional needs are shaped by your health, lifestyle, age, activity, medication, food preferences and what is realistically possible in your life.
We help you make sense of the connections and identify the changes most likely to matter for you. You will learn what you can do, why it may help and how to make it achievable.
Our approach is practical, flexible and non-diet. The goal is to provide clarity rather than add more rules, and to help you make changes that continue to work beyond your next appointment.
How our dietitian and nutrition services can help
We provide support and advice that considers your health and makes sense in your life. Depending on your needs, support may include:
- individual appointments in person or by telehealth
- small-group nutrition education and health coaching
- flexible appointment times, including selected Saturdays and before- or after-hours appointments
- practical nutrition education, counselling and health coaching
- apps and tools that help you learn, plan and monitor progress
- food-first recommendations for vitamins, minerals and supplements when appropriate
- referral for microbiome testing when clinically relevant
- collaboration with your GP or other healthcare professionals
- referral to psychologists, physiotherapists or exercise physiologists when broader support may help
You can book and manage appointments online or contact us by phone.
Meet Dorelle Thompson — Accredited Practising Dietitian in Brisbane
Dorelle Thompson is an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Accredited Nutritionist with more than 20 years of dietetic experience and eight years of health-coaching experience. She has been a member of Dietitians Australia since 1997.
Learning about food and its effects on the body has always fascinated Dorelle. Why do some foods help us feel energised and well, while others may leave us feeling flat or uncomfortable? How do food, sleep, stress, activity, hormones and health conditions interact? And how can nutrition science be translated into something useful at the dinner table?
Nutrition science continues to develop, and Dorelle remains committed to evidence-informed practice and ongoing professional development. Her approach is compassionate, practical, flexible and lifestyle-focused. You will be supported as a person, not treated as a diagnosis, a set of numbers or a list of foods to avoid.
