Westwind Eating Disorder Recovery Centre

Westwind has been a healing place for me to land and regain my footing in my recovery through both of my experiences with them. I was first attending the residence program back in Manitoba a few years ago where, for the first time in my years of struggling, I felt I could truly start to challenge and face my ED head on in ways other treatment programs couldn't in the past for me. This past new year I recognized I was needing some more support again, but not wanting to disrupt my schooling, work, and other responsibilities, I was unsure of what my best option would be. I came to learn that Westwind now offers online programing options! This was a saving grace for me at where I was at in my recovery and life. After 4 months of participating in their online program I have regained a sense of self beyond my ED and once again feel I am in a more stable place where I can begin to trust myself. The team at Westwind truly cares about their clients. It's definitely a unique recovery center where you have to be willing to put in the work as they will lend support in exceptional ways while also encouraging independence and accountability to oneself. They don't necessarily hold your hand the same way other treatment programs sometimes do, but I found this to be integreal for my recovery! They'll hold your hand, but they'll let you guide the way. This is the only recovery center I've experienced where I have felt I wasn't lost after my treatment time was complete. I'm grateful to know such a place exists and that if I ever need again in the future that I will know where to turn for additional support. Every person I've worked with on the team has been incredibly caring, thoughtful, and patient. This is a special place for sure!

Joining Westwind's online R.I.S.E program was undeniably one of the best decisions I've ever made. Their approach offers a highly personalized treatment experience, tailored to meet individual needs. What sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to working alongside you, regardless of your level of commitment, to bolster your self-belief and confidence. Highly recommended for anyone seeking treatment from disordered eating or eating disorder, who is seeking for a highly specialized team with numerous years of experience.

As someone who has navigated the challenging journey of overcoming an eating disorder, I cannot recommend Westwind Counselling & Eating Disorder Recovery Centre highly enough. From the moment I started my sessions, I was enveloped in a sense of understanding, compassion, and unwavering support. They have helped me emerge from the darkness. They’re the only people in my life who truly understand what I’m going through. Eating disorders are so complicated. They’ve taught me so much. I truly can’t thank them enough. They saved my life. If you or someone you love is struggling with an eating disorder, I urge you to reach out to Westwind Counselling. They have truly been a lifesaving haven on my journey to healing, and I am forever grateful for their unwavering support.

Participating in the Westwind RISE virtual program was the best decision I’ve ever made. The meal support sessions, one on one support and resources provided allowed me to start my recovery journey in the comfort of my own home. And the various ongoing treatment options have allowed me to maintain my recovery for over a year now. I’ll be forever grateful for the help I received at Westwind to change my life for the better.

The staff at Westwind helped me transform my life in a safe and welcoming environment. My time spent at Westwind and continued aftercare has helped me take my life back. I am very grateful to all the staff at Westwind and highly recommend seeking out their support if you are struggling.
