Book a free intro callCentre Wellington takes in the twin towns of Fergus and Elora on the Grand River, just north of Guelph in Wellington County. Specialized eating disorder care for the area runs through the Waterloo Wellington programs in the Kitchener and Guelph area, where demand outstrips capacity. It is close to Lauren's home base, and still, virtual care is what removes the wait and the drive. I work with people across Centre Wellington by secure video.
Lauren is based in Guelph and Toronto and works virtually across Ontario. That means people in Centre Wellington can access specialized nutrition counselling without travelling to a clinic, while still working with someone registered with the College of Dietitians of Ontario.
You may be looking for general nutrition advice, but many people land here because food has become louder than they want it to be. You might be dealing with restriction, binge eating, guilt after eating, fear foods, body checking, or feeling unsure whether your eating is serious enough to deserve support. It is enough to start a conversation.

Every person who reaches out is met where they are. These are the main reasons people in Centre Wellington and across Ontario look for this kind of care:
Nutrition support for anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, orthorexia, and eating that feels frightening or out of control.
Compassionate, weight-inclusive care when food, exercise, rules, guilt, or body image have started to take over.
A non-diet approach to binge eating, emotional eating, and the restrict-binge cycle, without shame or more rules.
Gentle support for food anxiety, fear foods, avoidance, and the slow work of feeling safer around eating.
Help for chronic dieting, body checking, food guilt, and rebuilding trust with your body at a steadier pace.
Work with a Registered Dietitian online from anywhere in Ontario, with receipts for extended health reimbursement.
Because care is virtual, I work with clients in Centre Wellington including Fergus and Elora, and nearby Belwood, Salem, and Arthur, as well as people right across Ontario. From the Grand River gorge at Elora to the farms around Fergus, the session comes to you. You do not need to live near a clinic to get thoughtful, registered dietitian support. You can also browse every Ontario city served.
For Wellington County, specialized eating disorder services sit within the Waterloo Wellington region. The Canadian Mental Health Association Waterloo Wellington runs eating disorder services for adults and their families, and the region's hospital services, now delivered by the Waterloo Regional Health Network formed in April 2025, include eating disorder care.
The pressure point is capacity. Referrals to the region's eating disorder programs have run well ahead of available spots, so waits are a real feature, and a physician referral is part of getting in.
For a Centre Wellington adult whose struggle is binge eating, chronic dieting, food anxiety, or body image, that can mean waiting for a program not built around their particular concern.
A dietitian is available without any of that. Sessions happen by secure video from home in Fergus, Elora, or anywhere in the township, there is no referral and no age cap, and the approach is non-diet and weight-inclusive across every kind of eating concern.
If you do enter a regional program, a dietitian can work alongside it. If you are on a waitlist, this is somewhere to begin now.
None of it comes with judgment, and no referral is needed to begin. Lauren Hofstee is a Registered Dietitian with the College of Dietitians of Ontario, registration number 15869. You can also read what seeing a dietitian costs in Ontario.
