Non-diet virtual dietitian care for New Tecumseth and Simcoe County, with Lauren Hofstee, RD. Eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, body image, binge eating, and food anxiety support, all online.
Book a free intro callNew Tecumseth brings together Alliston, Beeton, and Tottenham in the farmland of south Simcoe County, a growing area with a big commuter population and a Honda plant at its centre. Specialized eating disorder care still tends to sit in Barrie or Orillia, a drive from these towns. I work with people right across New Tecumseth online, so thoughtful, non-diet nutrition support arrives without the trip.
Lauren is based in Guelph and Toronto and works virtually across Ontario. That means people in New Tecumseth 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 New Tecumseth 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.

Because care is virtual, I work with clients in New Tecumseth and nearby communities including Alliston, Beeton, Tottenham, and the surrounding farmland of south Simcoe County, 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.
As part of Simcoe County, New Tecumseth falls under the Simcoe Muskoka Regional Eating Disorder Program, delivered by Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie with Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital. It is a genuine outpatient service worth knowing about.
It is also tightly defined. Care is for children, adolescents, and young adults under the age of twenty-five, provided as Family-Based Therapy and Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and other specified feeding or eating disorders, accessed by physician or nurse practitioner referral.
For a lot of adults across Alliston, Beeton, and Tottenham, the age criterion closes the door. So can the diagnosis criteria, if what you are living with looks more like binge eating, chronic dieting, or anxiety around food than a classic eating disorder.
A dietitian works without either barrier. There is no age cap, no referral required, and no waitlist to hear whether you qualify. Sessions happen by secure video, and the approach is non-diet, weight-inclusive, and steady across the whole range of concerns.
The intro call is free, and it is just a conversation, nothing to prepare. 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 how to find an eating disorder dietitian in Ontario.
