Our Mission

To support people to achieve full recovery from eating disorders through compassionate, specialist care.

Te Whare Whakamana

The House of Empowerment

Ngāi Tūāhuriri, the local Iwi, gifted the Recovered Living NZ home the name Te Whare Whakamana meaning The House of Empowerment.

At RLNZ, recovery is about reconnecting with yourself, finding strength, and feeling at home within your own body again.
