We know that making the decision to enter a treatment program is a difficult step and a significant commitment of time for many of you already facing very busy schedules. At ‘Ai Pono we are dedicated to helping you take this significant step in giving your health and well-being the priority it deserves. We would like you to consider that without your health, your cherished relationships with family and friends, work and self-esteem, will suffer.
Our program is designed to give you a supportive environment to assist you in gaining insight into your eating behaviors and to provide you with the tools for healthy living that will enable you to restore your body and mind to the natural and healthy state that is your birthright.
Our philosophy at ‘Ai Pono is that recovery from disordered eating is possible-- so that food, weight, and negative body image are no longer a central feature in your life. We encourage you to contact us with any questions you may have and look forward to working with you in the ‘Ai Pono Women's Program.
When a woman who travels the labyrinth of recovery comes to the center of her being, she discovers who she is and lets go of who she or others think she should be. She retrieves all those parts of herself that had been lost or discarded and finds wholeness.
Her task then is to wind her way back out and weave this new sense of herself into a new way of being in the world.
