About
I'm Dorelle, an accredited dietitian and health coach with over two decades of experience helping clients transform their health. My passion lies in empowering individuals to build healthier habits and a positive relationship with food through science-backed, sustainable strategies. I provide a safe, judgment-free environment to address stress, isolation, and stigma.
Whether you're navigating weight challenges, diabetes, or hormonal changes, I'm here to provide personalised guidance tailored to you. I focus on the non-diet philosophy, helping clients overcome emotional eating, rebuild their relationship with food, and develop strategies to manage stress and triggers. I offer customised meal plans, shopping lists, and easy-to-use apps for progress tracking, alongside holistic guidance for sleep, physical activity, and stress management.
Approach: Compassionate, approachable, judgment-free, science-driven, holistic, empathetic, client-centred. Described by clients as approachable, knowledgeable, and deeply supportive.
Weight Loss Approach
Personalised, science-backed, non-diet philosophy. Acknowledges weight is influenced by hormones, lifestyle, emotions, genetics, and environment. Approaches include non-diet/intuitive eating, intermittent fasting, health coaching, cognitive/behavioural strategies for emotional eating, and support for weight loss medications.
Focus on sustainable habits rather than restriction.
Yes. Explicitly supports patients on GLP-1 medications including Wegovy (semaglutide), Mounjaro (tirzepatide), and Ozempic (semaglutide). Provides tailored nutrition plans to complement medication use, helping manage hunger and energy levels, ensure adequate nutrition, and prevent muscle loss.

Client Reviews
“The My Health for Life program helped me create new habits, like making time for lunch. This simple change transformed how I feel. I used to skip lunch at work and then binge on chocolate or takeaway food in the afternoon. With Dorelle's guidance and the group discussions, I saw how this affected my mood and weight. Now, I feel more energetic and in control of my health.”
