Outpatient virtual nutrition care that can sit alongside campus counselling, medical care, accessibility support, and community treatment.
Refer a studentLauren Hofstee is a Registered Dietitian based in Guelph and Toronto who works virtually with clients across Ontario. Her approach is non-diet, weight-inclusive, gentle, and collaborative. She commonly supports students whose food or body concerns are affecting concentration, energy, mental health, relationships, or daily campus life.
A campus clinician can use the brief referral request, or a student can book a free introductory call directly.
Lauren contacts the student or referring clinician and confirms whether outpatient virtual care is appropriate before an appointment is promised.
When the student agrees, Lauren can coordinate with the campus clinician, physician, therapist, or community care team.
The first step is a free introductory call. Lauren explains the current fee, checks fit and availability, and gives the student space to decide whether they want to continue. Sessions are virtual across Ontario. Detailed Registered Dietitian receipts are provided for students to submit to eligible insurance or student benefit plans.
Lauren provides scheduled outpatient virtual nutrition care. The service is not an emergency, crisis, medical-monitoring, or higher-level eating disorder program. Students who may be medically unstable or at immediate risk need assessment through the appropriate campus, local emergency, or specialist service.
Lauren commonly supports students in their late teens and adulthood who need outpatient nutrition care for eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, restrictive or binge patterns, ARFID, food anxiety, body image concerns, or a difficult relationship with food.
Begin with the brief referral request and avoid detailed health information in ordinary email. If additional information is needed, Lauren will arrange an appropriate way to exchange it.
The introductory call is free. Current fees are explained before care begins. Lauren provides Registered Dietitian receipts for extended health benefits, including eligible student plans. Coverage varies by plan.
No. This is scheduled outpatient virtual nutrition care. It does not replace urgent medical assessment, crisis support, medical monitoring, or a higher level eating disorder program.
