We’re thrilled to share that EatWell Health Centre is officially expanding into British Columbia, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring our care and expertise to this part of the country.
While we’ve been supporting clients virtually across Canada for some time, we kept hearing one thing over and over from folks in BC: “I’ve been looking everywhere for support, but there’s nothing accessible.” It became clear that there was a real need for specialized, compassionate eating disorder treatment in the province, and we knew we had to show up!
So, here we are. 💜
Why BC?
EatWell founder, Dr. Natalie Mulligan, puts it simply:
“Although we’ve always worked with clients Canada-wide, we noticed a particularly big gap in BC. Wait times for eating disorder care are long—sometimes six months or more—and outside of hospital programs, options are incredibly limited. We wanted to change that.”
And of course… She also happens to love BC, which makes this expansion all the more special!
What’s New in BC?
Our BC branch is fully virtual (for now!) and offers the same compassionate, individualized care that’s helped so many clients in Ontario over the past 7+ years. Here’s what you can expect:
🌱 One-on-one virtual appointments with our team of:
- Registered Dietitians
- Registered Social Workers
- Registered Clinical Counsellors
💜 Support for a range of concerns, including:
- Anorexia
- Bulimia
- Binge Eating Disorder
- ARFID
- OSFED
- Restrictive eating
- Chronic dieting and disordered patterns
- Negative body image and food preoccupation
Yes, our Refeeding Program is also available—this can be especially helpful for those currently on waitlists for inpatient programs or who need more immediate, structured support.
What Sets EatWell Apart?
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. At EatWell, we take a holistic, dual-care approach, combining nutrition support with psychotherapy. Our goal is to address both the symptoms and the root causes of disordered eating.
Whether someone prefers nutrition-only, therapy-only, or both, we work with each person to build a plan that meets their unique needs. And we’re with them for the long haul! No deadlines, no pressure… Just real support, until full recovery is achieved.
“Not everyone fits into hospital programs,” Natalie explains. “Many of our clients fall outside the scope of what hospitals offer, like those with bulimia, orthorexia, or those who are weight-restored but still struggling. That’s where we come in. We fill the gap.”
