Non-diet virtual dietitian care for Ingersoll and Oxford County, with Lauren Hofstee, RD. Eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, body image, binge eating, and food anxiety support, all online.
Book a free intro callIngersoll sits on the Thames River in Oxford County, roughly halfway between Woodstock and London along the 401. Its closeness to London means adults here fall inside the city's regional eating disorder catchment, which helps, though reaching that care still means a referral and a drive. I work with people across Ingersoll by secure video.
Lauren is based in Guelph and Toronto and works virtually across Ontario. That means people in Ingersoll 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 Ingersoll 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 Ingersoll and nearby communities including Woodstock, Thamesford, Beachville, and Embro, as well as people right across Ontario. From town to the surrounding Oxford farmland, the session comes to you instead of asking for the trip to London. You do not need to live near a clinic to get thoughtful, registered dietitian support. You can also browse every Ontario city served.
Ingersoll, like the rest of Oxford County, is inside the catchment of the Adult Eating Disorders Service at London Health Sciences Centre. The service treats anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and related diagnoses, with outpatient therapy and a residential option.
Getting in has real requirements. It needs a physician referral with recent bloodwork and imaging, and it is based in London, so appointments mean travelling into the city. Young people are directed instead to the children's hospital there.
For an Ingersoll adult whose difficulty is binge eating, chronic dieting, food anxiety, or body image, or who simply is not ready to ask a doctor for a referral, the nearest specialized service can feel out of reach.
A dietitian is open without any of that. No referral, no age cap, sessions by secure video from home in Ingersoll, and a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach across the whole range of eating concerns.
If you do enter the London program, nutrition support can sit alongside it. If you are still weighing it up, a dietitian is somewhere to begin right away.
None of it comes with judgment, and you do not need a referral 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.
