Natalie Thompson
Delectable Dietetics
About
Natalie Thompson is a passionate non-diet dietitian with over 17 years of experience supporting individuals across all stages of life. Early in her career, she witnessed firsthand the harm caused by diet culture—physically, mentally, and emotionally. This experience sparked a lifelong commitment to weight-inclusive care, challenging the status quo, and advocating for a more compassionate, evidence-informed approach to health.
Natalie is known for her warmth, empathy, and non-judgemental approach. She builds strong therapeutic relationships with her clients, offering a safe environment to explore their relationship with food, body image, and well-being—without shame or pressure. Her work empowers individuals to reconnect with their inner wisdom, honour their needs, and build sustainable habits that support holistic health.
If you're ready to move away from dieting and toward a more peaceful, respectful relationship with food and your body, Natalie will walk alongside you.
Approach: Warm, empathetic, non-judgemental, weight-inclusive, trauma-informed, neuroaffirming, and compassionate. Focused on building therapeutic relationships and empowering clients without shame or pressure.
Weight Loss Approach
Non-diet, weight-inclusive approach. Natalie explicitly rejects diet culture and focuses on a compassionate, evidence-informed relationship with food and body image. Her work empowers clients to reconnect with inner wisdom and build sustainable habits rather than pursue weight loss per se.
She has completed specialist training in 'Weight Concern'.
