Non-diet virtual dietitian care for Paris and the County of Brant, with Lauren Hofstee, RD. Eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, body image, binge eating, and food anxiety support, all online.
Book a free intro callParis sits at the meeting of the Grand and Nith Rivers in Brant County, often called one of the prettiest towns in Canada. For eating disorder care, though, it looks toward Hamilton, where the regional adult program is based, or toward Brantford for local health services. I work with people across Paris and Brant County by secure video.
Lauren is based in Guelph and Toronto and works virtually across Ontario. That means people in Paris 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.
What nutrition counselling can look like when recovery needs to feel steady, collaborative, and safe.
A gentle, private self-reflection tool if you are not sure what to call what is happening.

Sessions happen by secure video from wherever you are in Paris. Nothing to prepare, nothing to weigh.
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 Paris 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 Paris and nearby communities including Brantford, St. George, Ayr, and Burford, as well as people right across Ontario. From the river flats downtown to the county roads around town, 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 adults in Paris and the rest of Brant County, the regional specialized service is the Eating Disorders Program at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton. It is an outpatient program for people aged sixteen and over who can work toward independent change, and reaching it means travelling to Hamilton.
It carries clear limits. There are no inpatient beds, and the program advises that a dangerously low weight needs more intensive care arranged through a physician. Young people under eighteen living at home in school are usually directed to the children's program at McMaster instead.
That leaves a real group in Brant County, adults whose struggle is binge eating, chronic dieting, food anxiety, or body image, who do not fit neatly into a program built mainly around anorexia and bulimia.
A dietitian is open to them without a referral and without an age cap. Sessions happen by secure video from home in Paris, and the approach is non-diet and weight-inclusive across the whole range of eating concerns.
If a family member does qualify for the Hamilton program, a dietitian can work alongside it toward the same goals. For everyone it cannot reach, this is a door that opens now rather than another referral.
None of it comes with judgment, and there is no wait to be told whether you fit. Lauren Hofstee is a Registered Dietitian with the College of Dietitians of Ontario, registration number 15869. If it helps to read first, here is binge eating support.
Yes. Every session with Lauren is virtual, so you can meet from anywhere in Paris or the County of Brant 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.
