Patient Testimonials
The Team That Gave Me My Life Back
(North Sound Nourishment & Recovery) have literally given me my life back. I walked in as a depressed and unmotivated person struggling with an eating disorder. They have guided me through one of the most challenging but rewarding parts of my life and I could not be more grateful for this team.
Recovery Is Possible
To pick up the phone and call NSNR was one of the hardest yet best decisions of my life. I struggled with bulimia for 9 years and it was an illness I kept hidden from everyone around me. Today, I have a relationship with food and my body that is beyond anything I have ever experienced, recovery really is possible!
NSNR is like a second home
North Sound Nourishment and Recovery is like a second home to me. I love the food positive, body positive atmosphere. Dr. Hammond-Meyer, Heather Paves, and Sharayah Lewis are not only amazing at what they do but they are all incredible role models for all women.
NSNR Saved My Life
I would first like to say that no words can express the love, respect, and gratitude I have for my team at North Sound Nourishment and Recovery. Dr. Anne Hammond-Meyer and Heather Paves helped save my life
My Life is Now Falling Into Place
My eating disorder ran my life, it held me back from college, relationships, moving, social events, and countless other things. I tried to fix so many other things in my life, thinking, if I fixed those one or two things, my eating disorder would disappear. It doesn’t work that way, ironically, now that I am on the recovery road at NSNR everything else in my life is falling into place.
My Internal Strength
After I came to NSNR I kept a tally on my mirror for how many days of recovery from bulimia I had. On my 100th straight day of recovery I stood in front of the mirror and cried because I could not believe how far I had come, how much my life had changed and how incredibly happy I was. My eating disorder ran my life, but now I am the strong, confident person, I always thought I was deep down inside.
Living Breathing Proof
I am living breathing proof that recovery is possible and I have North Sound Nourishment and Recovery to thank for that.
I never dreamed I could love myself this much
( ... ) I never could have imagined that my life would change this drastically. Not only am I very far along in my recovery, I never dreamed that my life could be this full and that I could love myself and my life this much. I am no longer in a body project and I have fully embraced my inner foodie.
A Blessing in Disguise
So many people have said ‘you are not defined by the hardships in your life, but how you face them.’ An eating disorder does not define who you are. In fact, recovering from mine has made me an incredibly strong woman who I don’t think I would be if I hadn’t gone through the hardships I had. They are a blessing in disguise.
