Non-diet virtual dietitian care for Georgina and York Region, with Lauren Hofstee, RD. Eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, body image, binge eating, and food anxiety support, all online.
Book a free intro callGeorgina sits at the very top of York Region along the south shore of Lake Simcoe, taking in Keswick, Sutton, and Jackson's Point. It is the part of York that feels closest to cottage country, and specialized eating disorder care usually means a long drive south toward Newmarket or beyond. I work with people all across Georgina by secure video, so non-diet support arrives without the trip down the highway.
Lauren is based in Guelph and Toronto and works virtually across Ontario. That means people in Georgina 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.

We work at your pace toward a calmer, steadier relationship with food and your body.
Every person who reaches out is met where they are. These are the main reasons people in Georgina 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 Georgina and nearby communities including Keswick, Sutton, Pefferlaw, and Jackson's Point along the Lake Simcoe shore, as well as people right across Ontario. You do not need to live near a clinic to get thoughtful, registered dietitian support. You can also browse every Ontario city served.
York Region is served for eating disorders by Southlake Health in Newmarket, a regional leader for the Central East region including York, Simcoe, Durham, and beyond. For families in Georgina, it is the closest specialized program, and it is a real drive to the south.
Southlake runs a Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders Program for ages thirteen to eighteen and a Young Adult Eating Disorders Program for ages eighteen to twenty-five. Both need a physician referral, and both are built around that age range.
That leaves adults over twenty-five in Georgina without a clear local program to enter. It also leaves out many people whose relationship with food shows up as binge eating, chronic dieting, or food anxiety rather than as a diagnosis the program treats.
A dietitian has no age cap and no referral requirement. Sessions are by secure video from anywhere in Georgina, and the approach is non-diet and weight-inclusive across the full range of eating concerns. For a younger person already in the Southlake program, dietitian support can work alongside it.
The intro call is free, and there is no waitlist just to be heard. Lauren Hofstee is a Registered Dietitian with the College of Dietitians of Ontario, registration number 15869. If it helps to read first, here is more on disordered eating support.
Yes. Every session with Lauren is virtual, so you can meet from anywhere in Georgina or York Region by secure video. You get the same individual, professional care as an in-person visit, without the commute or waiting room.
No referral is needed. You can reach out directly to book a free, no-pressure introductory call. Physicians and other clinicians are also welcome to refer a patient through the online referral form.
Lauren supports people with eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, binge eating, restriction, chronic dieting, food anxiety, body image concerns, intuitive eating, digestion, energy, and general wellbeing. The approach is non-diet, weight-inclusive, and free of judgment.
Book a free intro call. It is a relaxed conversation to see if working together feels right, with nothing you need to prepare beforehand.
Some of the writing people in Georgina find their way to first. No plans, no rules, just honest thinking about food and body.
Weight-inclusive care is not a softer way of avoiding health. It is a different starting point entirely.
Not through more control or willpower, but by understanding why it happens and meeting your body with care.
If you feel like you can't stop eating, there are real reasons, and almost none of them are about willpower.
Reaching out is often the hardest part. The intro call is free, and there is no pressure to continue.
