“Just a beautiful, strong and inspiring group. I feel so safe to say things I’ve never said out loud.”
You don’t have to do this alone.
Recovery Happens in Relationship
Isolation feeds eating disorders. Connection heals.
Some of us held it all together for years — the career, the relationships, the smile. Some of us fell apart and learned to rebuild from scratch. Many of us did both. Eating disorders don’t just live in behaviour; they live in disconnection, secrecy, and the weight of doing it all alone.
-
⤷ a place where presence matters more than progress, where support is steady, long-term, and unconditional. A rhythm. A refuge. A reminder that you are not the only one, and you don’t have to do this alone. You don’t need to prove you’re ready — you only need to be willing. If you’re not quite there yet, we’ll help you get there. You are already welcome, just as you are.
Your Courage is Honoured
The first step isn’t small. It’s everything.
We know how much it can take just to show up — even to read this, to speak aloud what’s been silently carried. That’s why our spaces are designed to hold you with care: emotionally safe, gently structured, and rooted in lived experience.
-
We’ve built this community for that exact moment — the one where you’re unsure, tired, but still quietly hopeful. Where the room is warm. Where you’re met with compassion, not assessment. Where the doors are open, and you won’t be walking in alone.
You Belong as You Are
No performance. No fixing.
You don’t need to prove anything. You’ll be listened to. Matched with care. Held in confidence. Each Circle is carefully curated, so you’re surrounded by women who feel like peers — not strangers. Support here is a relationship, something we build, together.
-
You won’t be judged, analysed, or placed at random. Our Circles are designed to feel safe, inspiring, and like-minded — where each woman can give and receive support in her own way, at her own pace. We know how important it is to be with people who feel like the right fit — not so far from your world that you feel alone again. That’s why we take time to understand who you are, what you need, and what kind of space will help you grow, without losing your autonomy.
You Are Held and Understood
The experience behind the mask.
Our members have been through the same struggles — late diagnosis, shame, relapse fears, high-functioning masks. This is real, validating, and honest connection.
-
From our founders and therapists, to your Circle and mentors, you’ll be surrounded by women who’ve walked this path. There’s no need to justify your experience here. It will be recognised without explanation — and respected without question.
We Walk This Path Together
You won’t be walking alone.
Whether you’re beginning again, rebuilding after relapse, or deepening work that’s already begun — you’ll be walking alongside women who are doing the same, and who want to walk with you.

Why Our Community Model Works.
Long-term, curated recovery spaces
—built around what actually helps women heal.
Our community isn’t just supportive — it’s structured around what actually works. Based on extensive research, therapeutic insight and lived experience, we’ve built every Circle around four core elements shown to increase recovery commitment, reduce relapse risk, and deepen long-term growth.
Belonging
Whatever the world may ask of you from moment to moment, your team, community and Recovery Circle are spaces where you can feel safe to be vulnerable, and to show up just as you are.
-
Belonging isn’t just a feeling — it’s one of the strongest predictors of recovery. Asking for support is a brave act that requires self-worth, and many of our women have spent years believing they weren’t “sick enough” or didn’t matter enough to ask for help. We create spaces where that worth is restored — and where connection comes with care, not performance.
Accountability
We don’t just check in — we walk with each other. Shared milestones, rhythm, and presence create quiet but powerful forward motion.
-
You and your Recovery Circle represent an intimate circle of trust offering encouragement and accountability. Together with your recovery mentor and specialist practitioners you will find a veritable army of cheer-leaders invested in your progress.
Curation
Each Circle is thoughtfully matched, not just by symptoms or goals, but by what helps you feel inspired, understood, and safe to show up fully.
-
Recovery is hard work — emotionally, financially, and practically. It takes about 12 months to embed meaningful change without relapse, and that work is much more sustainable when you’re surrounded by the right people. Not just those who “get it,” but those you respect and enjoy. That’s why our matching process is thoughtful and intentional — no generic groups, no uncomfortable misfit.
Trust
Groups are held by experienced therapists, within a wider culture of confidentiality and care. No forced sharing. No pressure. Just real relationship, at your pace.
-
The ability to ask for help from those you trust is a key predictor of recovery. Your Circle is a place where you can be vulnerable, without fear of judgement. Our community is bound by confidentiality and discretion, and our flexible, integrated approach to healing means no disclosure is necessary outside of Ianthe House.
Intimate, Curated Groups for Real Connection
Meaningful relationships, lasting change.
What makes a Circle special isn’t just the format — it’s the feeling. A group of women who move at your pace, who don’t need you to explain, and who show up with the same quiet commitment. Circles aren’t just where recovery happens. They’re where it starts to feel like something you can live — and share.
-
Over time, Circles take on a rhythm of their own — part therapy, part sisterhood, part sanctuary. It’s not just about being supported. It’s about being remembered — your Monday struggles, your Thursday wins, the quiet ways you’re learning to return to yourself.
There’s structure, yes — but what carries you forward is the shared presence. The unspoken understanding. The unexpected laughter. The way healing becomes part of something shared, not something you carry alone.
“This is such a lovely safe space. You will get an incredibly rare opportunity to connect with other amazing women who can understand, resonate and empathise with your experience.”
Recovery Co-Living
Where recovery lives alongside real life.
There’s something different about waking up in a place where everyone understands. Where shared meals, passing chats, and parallel lives gently stitch healing into your day — not just your therapy hour. Ianthe Houses are peer-led co-living spaces built on structure, autonomy, and shared rhythm. They’re homes for women who are doing the work — but who don’t want to do it alone.

“I don’t know what I was expecting but everyone opened up and was so vulnerable and it was really special. Thank you so much, I feel so lucky to be in this group.”
Your Recovery Team.
Expert Care with Lived Experience.
Where clinical depth meets real compassion.
Our team aren’t just trained to help — they’ve lived what you’re living. We blend professional expertise with personal insight, offering structured, evidence-based care held with empathy, honesty, and deep respect for your unique story. This isn’t about treating a diagnosis. It’s about walking with you — carefully, skilfully, and without judgement — as you learn to trust yourself again.
-
All our programs are rooted in best-practice, trauma-informed care. But theory alone doesn’t heal. What makes this work land is the way it’s held — gently, intelligently, and by people who understand what it means to keep showing up for yourself when it’s hard. Trust is the foundation. Empathy is the medium. And recovery, in its fullest sense, is the outcome.
Our Online Community.
Online Community, Flexible Support.
Stay connected, wherever you are.
Recovery isn’t linear — and support doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Whether you’re between Circles, living abroad, or just not ready for a structured program, our digital community offers a softer way to stay close to what matters. From group chats and milestone tracking to gentle prompts and shared reflection, it’s designed to meet you wherever you are — and walk beside you, even on the quiet days.
-
Many of our members stay connected between deeper phases of healing through our digital space — a place to be witnessed, celebrated, and gently encouraged forward. It’s flexible and confidential, but always held with the same care and intention that shapes everything we do at Ianthe House. Even when life gets busy, you don’t have to go it alone.
Not sure where you belong yet? Let’s figure it out together.
If you’re not sure which Circle or House is right for you — or just need someone to talk it through with — you can book a call with one of our team. No pressure. No scripts. Just a thoughtful, compassionate conversation with someone who gets it.
“The one-to-ones with the team are so helpful. In a chilled, sisterly way, you help us look at everything. It’s like you hold our hands through the process — and that’s so special to me.”
