"Our son has battled with gagging, coughing and throwing up after meals since he was in second grade. His sophomore year he began playing football for the first time. Excitingly this led to him being offered scholarships to play in college. Our family is grateful that we found Richmond Center for Eating Disorders. Most importantly, they correctly diagnosed our son and were the experts he truly needed."

"My daughter is the happiest she has been in years. I had heard of other families who stressed the importance of getting to that higher weight, that true "recovery weight" where the ED sufferer's psychological challenges dissipate. Now we were actually seeing living proof of its benefits. I cannot express enough gratitude to the Julies for helping us get here."

"Our son was weighing in at about 94 pounds and was completely controlled by the eating disorder. Over several months you helped us to help him take back control of his life and become healthy again. The education and guidance you provided for us was incredible, and I am happy to say he is doing very well.
Most of all, he is confident in himself, feels a part of a team, and says that he loves the way he feels now - healthy.
I say all of this to express again my deep appreciation for your help and guidance. I will be forever grateful that we found Richmond Center for Eating Disorders and your team."

"There aren’t words to adequately express all that this program has done for me. For decades, I tried unsuccessfully to battle this, both on my own and with various professionals. I found partial recovery, but was never able to maintain my footing, and continued in its exhausting, relentless grip.
Finding this program was fortuitous. I decided to contact them because the idea of participating in an intensive program while remaining at home appealed to me. I went into it thinking that at 55, this was probably just the way my life was going to be- constantly struggling to get through each day. During treatment, I learned so, so much about eating disorders, and myself. This enabled me to release so much of the guilt and shame that was helping to keep me trapped. But I believe that in addition to the services of the kind, skilled, and knowledgeable providers, the component that made this work was involving support people, which for me was my family. They learned alongside me, and having them understand and know how to support me enabled me to get through even the very worst days.
I am so grateful to the staff of Richmond Center for Eating Disorders, particularly my coach and dietician. We are so fortunate to have such a valuable resource in our area. I believe it could be the answer for many, many people, enabling them to get well, and stay well- to live whole, happy, vibrant lives free from, not just living with, eating disorders."
