Becoming Recovered is possible.
I recovered from anorexia in my early twenties, and I’ve spent my life since helping others do the same. Not managing. Not “recovering” forever. Recovered, body and soul.
“Everybody who has walked through my door has had the ability to get better. And I mean fully recovered better.”

Read Carolyn’s story →“Being recovered is when you can accept your natural body size and shape, and no longer have a self-destructive or unnatural relationship with food or exercise. When you are recovered, food and weight take a proper perspective in your life, and what you weigh is not more important than who you are, in fact, the actual numbers are of little or no importance at all. When recovered, you will not compromise your health or betray your soul to look a certain way, wear a certain size, or reach a certain number on a scale. When recovered you no longer use eating disorder behaviors to deal with, distract from or cope with other problems.”
CCI recognizes that for people with ARFID (Avoidant, Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) issues around weight and shape are most often not part of the presentation, so their definition of “recovered” would differ.
Train with Carolyn. Help others become fully recovered.
