Let me introduce myself who am I?
Hello!
My name is Laurence Gauvin, and I am a nutritionist-dietitian and a member of the ODNQ. I have a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in nutrition from the University of Montreal. With over 15 years of experience in nutritional consultation and counseling, I specialize in eating disorders and healthy weight management. Together with my warm and passionate team, we offer you an intuitive and gentle approach to eating for the purpose of achieving overall well-being. I look forward to speaking with you!

Healthy weight management
Anti-diet approach
Intuitive eating
An approach based on benevolence and compassion
We follow the biopsychosocial model, which emphasizes finding a balance between physical, nutritional, and psychological well-being. This customizable approach, grounded in the latest scientific research, encourages tuning into the body and respecting its hunger and satiety signals. Through our anti-diet approach, you will rediscover your food freedom and the joy of intuitive eating while fostering a trusting relationship with your body.
A personalized support
To successfully reach goals step by step, it is crucial to establish a trusting environment for making changes in eating habits. Empathy, non-judgmental listening, and a warm atmosphere are essential for each individual’s unique journey.

What customers are saying
Find out what many of our clients have said after receiving our eating disorder services.
I definitely knocked on the right door to help me with my food and even psychological concerns! I completely discover a new way of living and feeling good, both with food and in my skin. Slowly, but surely! I love Gabriela's approach, her positive energy and her ability to listen. A great discovery for me, I highly recommend!!
Laurence is very attentive to the needs of her clients and she really takes the time to find solutions and challenges specific to the individual in front of her. She respected my boundaries while providing structure and a safe and supportive environment in which I could go against my more rigid thoughts. He is a person who allowed me to grow and change my perspective on food and I am very grateful for his services. He is reliable, professional, and full of authenticity...
My mother took the step with Laurence and she came out of it a transformed and much happier woman. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to clean up their eating habits and break free from diets!
LauGau Nutrition allowed me to initiate a global change in my vision of food. Between family, professional obligations, health issues and social pressures surrounding food, body image and general well-being, it is difficult to have a positive relationship with food. Thank you, Gabriela, for supporting me in this reappropriation! Super support combining scientific knowledge so well popularized and professional experience!
Laurence has changed my relationship to food for the better. She is human, attentive and has an extraordinary concern for others. I promise you that intuitive eating will change your life forever. The process is accompanied by empirical data, recent studies and effective tools (homework, reflections, tasting, etc...) I recommend it 110%.
Laurence is the best nutritionist. I do not regret my choice at all. He is a reliable, authentic person, attentive to the needs of his clients and so caring. I recommend it to everyone and I grew up a lot with it. He is a person who changed my perspective on food and I am very grateful!
Really a nice clinic with competent, warm and gentle nutritionists.
Excellent service. Very friendly nutritionist. Super effective treatment. I suggest Laurence Gauvin as a nutritionist regardless of the reason for your consultation. She is excellent. Thank you for everything!
I had a follow-up with Maude Martinez to work on my relationship with food and my body image. She is extremely respectful, non-judgmental and empathetic, in addition to being very knowledgeable in her field. She has an approach based on “health at every size” and intuitive eating. A follow-up with her is really a safe space to address all questions related to food, its relationship to the body but also our relationship with other professionals when you are plus size. I highly recommend her!
