Lisa Koole, BA, RP, RHNP: Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Holistic Nutrition Practitioner

You are caring for aging parents, supporting your kids, and carrying the weight of work and finances, while trying to find any time left for yourself. I offer psychotherapy and holistic nutrition for exhausted adults in midlife, in person in Guelph and online anywhere in Ontario.

Somewhere between taking care of everyone else and keeping everything running, you stopped being on your own list.

Many people I work with are capable, dependable, and quietly running on empty. They often live with high-functioning anxiety, holding everything together at work and at home while carrying stress, emotional exhaustion, and a complicated relationship with food or their body. For many women, the changes of perimenopause and menopause add another layer to an already full load.

What looks like a lack of willpower is usually burnout and a nervous system that has been in survival mode for too long. With the right support, my clients learn nervous system regulation skills, rebuild their capacity, and come to understand what has been getting in the way, so change becomes something they can sustain.

    Holistic Nutrition Services

    I offer holistic nutrition support for adults navigating emotional eating, low energy, weight concerns, and the metabolic shifts of midlife. My approach is practical, non-diet, and built around your real life, focusing on what is actually getting in the way rather than another plan that does not stick. Holistic nutrition services are offered separately from psychotherapy, with their own intake and booking process.

Sustainable change begins with capacity.

When you understand how to care for yourself emotionally and physically in ways that are realistic and supportive, change becomes more possible to maintain.

My work focuses on helping you build that capacity. Together, we develop a deeper understanding of your patterns, strengthen emotional resources, and support changes that respect the life you are actually living.

All-or-nothing thinking is not a discipline problem; it is a protective pattern shaped by stress, emotional load, and capacity. The aim is not perfection, but creating a way of caring for yourself that feels steady, compassionate, and sustainable.
