“Years from now, when I reflect on my recovery from anorexia, I know that I will be able to pinpoint this program as a pivotal moment on my journey to health. I gained new knowledge on how to have a healthy relationship with my body. I now see my body as my own sanctuary.”
— Victoria, Eat Breathe Thrive Participant
