"If you have a complicated relationship with exercise, you are not alone. We believe that each individual can and deserves to reconnect to movement and body in a way that offers balance, joy and freedom."

"Movement can and will look different in different seasons of life; it is normal and to be expected. Instead of focusing on what you aren’t doing, can you acknowledge what you are doing so as to appreciate and benefit from the experience?"

"It can be difficult to tease out intentions behind exercise or movement. It can certainly be beneficial to our minds and bodies but can also get complicated when it’s used to justify food choices or micromanage weight. A question to consider - would you exercise the same way if you knew there was no chance it would ever change the way your body looked?"

"To have any doubt in your body is the biggest weakness an athlete can have." - Shawn Johnson

"How much of your mental energy is devoted to weight and body concerns? Imagine what could happen if you dedicate that brain space to something else."

"Maybe you don't love your body at this point in time, but are you able to see it, listen to it and offer it some gratitude?"

"Your body is continually talking to you and giving you information about what it needs. When we begin to turn down the volume on all the external noise, we can listen to and hear the body’s wisdom."

"Try to take care of your body; it's the only place you have to live."

"Making the decision to pursue and accept recovery can be daunting and we’re unable to clearly predict the outcome. What we do know for certain is that on the other side of recovery is a greater sense of freedom."

"Society paints a very specific picture of eating disorders. This is not only inaccurate, it’s harmful for those who worry they may not look “sick enough” to seek out support. Anyone with an eating disorder deserves access to compassionate care no matter what they look like."

"Recovery is possible. Recovery is for you. We believe in full recovery and we believe it is possible for you. We will stand by and support you as you navigate the winding path, all the way until you reach your destination."

"Finding moments of peace in the recovery process is difficult. It can be challenging to relinquish control and commit to healing. Instead of focusing on all the things you have to let go of or feel you are losing, can you focus on all the things you can now allow in?"

"Diet culture tends to enforce an 'all or nothing' mindset. On one end of the pendulum, there is hunger, dieting or restriction. On the other, there is overeating, feeling out of control or bingeing. Neither is sustainable and neither feels good. When you truly give yourself unconditional permission to eat, the pendulum will begin to settle and your body will find its balance."

"Life is too short to abide by rigid food rules or skip out on certain items just because you “don’t need them”. When was the last time you ate something for pure enjoyment? You are allowed to do so and this says nothing about your character."

"Getting curious about your relationship with food removes pressure from your food choices and makes space to understand the intention behind them."

"Normal eating is instinctual; we lose sight of it for various reasons but it is something we can always reconnect to."
