Lisa Koole, Registered Psychotherapist in Guelph, Ontario providing in-person and online therapy for anxiety, overwhelm, emotional eating, and midlife stress.

You are likely doing everything right on paper. You eat reasonably well, you know what you should be doing, and you have tried more approaches than you can count. And yet something is not working. Your energy is unreliable, your relationship with food still feels complicated, and the changes you make never seem to stick.

That is where we start. Not with another plan, but with understanding what is actually getting in the way.

As a Registered Holistic Nutrition Practitioner (RHNP) with a background in weight loss coaching, I bring a practical, grounded approach to nutrition support that is rooted in real results. I am also a Registered Psychotherapist, and while these sessions are not therapy, that background meaningfully informs how I work. I understand the emotional and behavioural patterns that shape how we eat, and I bring that knowledge into our work together through a coaching approach, helping you explore those patterns, understand what is driving them, and build new ones.

Most nutrition support addresses what you eat. My work also addresses why.

What We Work On

Emotional Eating and Food Patterns Emotional eating is rarely about lack of willpower. It is often a stress response, a coping pattern, or a habit built over years. We work to understand what is driving it and build new ways of relating to food that actually stick.

Energy and Burnout Unreliable energy, afternoon crashes, and the feeling of running on empty are often connected to blood sugar imbalances, nutrient gaps, and chronic stress. We address the root causes rather than managing symptoms.

Weight Concerns in Midlife Weight changes in midlife are frequently driven by hormonal shifts, cortisol, and metabolic changes rather than simply what you are eating. My approach works with your body and where it is right now, not against it.

Hormonal and Metabolic Shifts Peri-menopause and menopause bring real physiological changes that affect how your body responds to food. We build a nutritional approach that supports your hormones, energy, and weight during this transition.

My Approach

My approach is grounded in whole-foods nutrition, blood sugar balancing, and anti-inflammatory eating. These are practical, evidence-informed frameworks that work with your body rather than against it.

Sessions are one on one and built around your life, your patterns, and what is realistic for you. There are no rigid meal plans or quick fixes. The goal is sustainable change that you can actually maintain.

My goal is to offer a warm, grounded space where real and lasting change becomes possible. Not because you finally found enough willpower, but because the conditions for change are finally in place.

In Person Nutrition Services in Guelph Sessions are offered at Guelph Women's Health Associates, 1453 Gordon Street, Guelph.

Virtual Nutrition Services Across Ontario Secure online sessions are available for adults anywhere in Ontario. Virtual sessions offer the same quality of support with the flexibility of attending from wherever you are.

If you have tried to change your relationship with food before and it has not lasted, that is not a reflection of your commitment. It is a sign that something deeper needed attention first.

A free 15-minute consultation call offers space to connect, ask questions, and see whether working together feels like the right fit. There is no pressure and no commitment required.
