A compassionate approach to eating disorder recovery for independent women.

Bookshelves, green-painted shutters, and a coral sofa fill the bright living room at Chiado Ianthe House in Lisbon—a recovery home designed to honour your story through independence, beauty, and belonging.

recovery that honours your strength & story.

For many women, the battle with an eating disorder is a quiet, exhausting one.
Behind outward success and independence, there’s often an invisible weight—of shame, pressure, and the relentless need to “manage it all.”

At Ianthe House, we do things differently.
Recovery here doesn’t mean stepping away from your life.
It means weaving healing into your daily rhythms—with the support of people who understand.

Whether through our remote Recovery Circles or residential Recovery Homes, we offer a compassionate, flexible path forward.

Empathy in action

Led by women who have walked this road, our programs are a judgment-free space where you’re truly seen and understood.


Flexible, integrated

Continue your career and commitments while receiving expert therapeutic and peer support through our remote Recovery Circles or residential recovery homes.


Affordability & access

Ianthe House offers support 10x more affordable than traditional private treatment programs, eliminating barriers that keep so many from seeking help.

Our programs

Every recovery is as unique as the woman undertaking it, and we honour that individuality with tailored care.

Peer supported online Recovery Circles are therapist-led groups providing emotional support, accountability, and connection—all from the comfort of your home. A year of ongoing support costs less than two weeks of traditional outpatient care.

We offer residential support through Ianthe Houses, co-living homes where you can live and recover alongside a community of women who understand your experience. Ianthe Houses offer a nurturing environment where long-term healing takes root, without sacrificing your independence.

Whether you’re looking for residential eating disorder support options near you or searching for affordable, long-term recovery, we’ll walk with you every step of the way.
