When you choose recovery, you choose your best self.
When you have an eating disorder, it can feel like no one understands. The ED often convinces you that you can’t talk about your symptoms—or that they’re not bad enough—which leaves you feeling lost about what you should do next.
That's where our experts come in.
We’ll hear you. We’ll get you. We’ll share our years of knowledge.
We’ll help you believe recovery is inevitable. Because it is.
Treatment Approach
Nutrition and therapy go hand-in-hand
Find relief from food symptoms while working through psychological needs. Our eating disorder team cheers you on through every win, big or small.
Nutritional Counseling
Your nutritionist will help you feel grounded and safe in food in all scenarios.
This may involve symptom interruption, refeeding, fear food challenges, cooking, or meal planning. You’ll uncover the ways your eating disorder deceives you so you can disarm the rules it’s created. The ultimate goal is intuitive eating, where you balance nutrition and pleasure while listening to your body’s needs.
Psychotherapy
Your therapist helps you heal underlying challenges that contributed to and fuel the eating disorder. They’ll also teach you valuable skills to navigate urges and triggers.
Our psychotherapists specialize in eating disorders. They can use a variety of modalities such as CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), or attachment theory in their treatment. We also offer therapy for parents who need help.

Phone Consult
The first step is booking a free, zero pressure phone consult. Learn more about our approach, fill us in on your concerns, and make sure we’re a good fit.
Initial Intake
You’ll meet with our Clinical Director, Natalie, to discuss your situation in more depth. Natalie stays involved in your treatment at every step.
Meet Your Team
Next, we’ll pair you with a team that best fits your needs based on sub-specialties and personality. This includes a nutrition expert and a therapist who will work collaboratively.
Treatment Begins
You’ll start regular nutrition and therapy appointments. We evolve your treatment plan as your needs shift, keeping you in the driver’s seat at every phase.
Destination: Full Recovery
The goal for your treatment is more than refeeding or symptom interruption. Full recovery means overcoming symptoms, feeling safe around food, and accepting your body. Most importantly, you’ll feel strong, capable, and resilient in life.
what to expect
Compassionate support at your own pace
This is your treatment, so we never hold you to unrealistic timelines. What are your goals? What symptoms do you have? How much, if any, treatment have you experienced? How strong is your healthy voice compared to your eating disorder voice? We consider it all to create a custom plan.

Insurance Coverage
Our program is not covered by provincial health insurance as we are a private treatment centre. If you have extended health benefits from your workplace or a family member’s workplace, your treatment may be partially covered.
How do I know if I need eating disorder treatment?
Great question.
Many of our clients aren’t sure if they “technically” have an eating disorder—if that’s you, it’s totally normal! We don’t rely on diagnoses or labels to determine whether or not you’d benefit from treatment. In reality, the labels usually don’t fit perfectly for anyone.
➡️ The important thing:
If food, symptoms, or thoughts about your body are intruding on your job, relationships, social life, hobbies, or happiness, it indicates disordered eating. Book a consult to see if treatment is right for you.
we support:
Those who are voluntarily seeking treatment—this is critical
Those with disordered eating patterns but no diagnosis
Those with diagnosed eating disorders (e.g. binge eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, orthorexia, OSFED, purging disorder)
Those who aren’t sure but feel their relationship with food is unhealthy
No waitlist & no referral needed
“I really thought, truly to my core, that I was going to be your one client that never got better.”
Maybe I would make it to 75%, whatever that looked like. I can now see that people can live a life where they don’t think about these things all the time because that was something I couldn’t fathom, like how can I not have this in my head 24/7?...I can see it wasn’t insurmountable.

Do I need to have a diagnosed eating disorder?
Nope. We work with those who have been diagnosed and those who haven’t, but feel their relationship with food is unhealthy. So many people with eating disorders never receive a formal diagnosis.
Do you meet the parents of young clients?
Yes! If a client is young and/or living at home, we meet with their parents prior to treatment. We keep them in the loop in a way that everyone agrees on ahead of time. Treatment is ultimately in the young person’s hands. We also offer therapy for parents who need support.
I’m worried you’ll pressure me to go too fast.
We’ll never pressure you to do something you’re not comfortable with. We break the steps down as small as necessary and let the process take as long as necessary. Every step will be something you’re ready for.
How often do I see my nutritionist and therapist?
Most people start by seeing both experts once a week for an hour. As treatment goes on, we adjust based on what you need more or less of. If this frequency of support doesn’t work for you financially, we design an alternative plan.
Is treatment covered by insurance?
Provincial health insurance does not cover our program as we are a private treatment centre. If you have extended health benefits from your workplace or a family member’s workplace, your treatment may be partially covered.
What designations do your experts have?
Therapy:
- Registered Psychotherapist
- Registered Social Worker
- Registered Occupational Therapist
Nutrition:
- Registered Dietitian
- Naturopathic Doctor
- Registered Holistic Nutritionist
Please note: Not all of the above designations may be available at the time of booking or best suited to the patient’s needs.
How much does treatment cost?
Initial Consultation (60 minutes): $240
Follow-up Appointments:
60-minute: $200
45-minute: $155
30-minute: $110
We’re more than happy to design a treatment plan that suits your budget.
How long do I stay in treatment?
The average length of time we see patients is one year. During your first year of treatment, the plan almost always changes to reflect the progress that is being made. Since we work with patients until full recovery is achieved, we are connected for quite a long time, often long after the eating disorder symptoms disappear.
