Meet Esther M., a shining example of strength, resilience, and joy from the ViaMar Health Alumni Program.
Born in Israel, Esther has led a remarkable life—raising three boys, traveling the world, and even serving as a police officer (yes, she once had to arrest her own brother-in-law!). With a spirit full of laughter and unforgettable stories, Esther continues to inspire those around her.
Today, she’s focused on recovery and living life fully outside the eating disorder. Her journey is a powerful reminder that healing is possible and that life beyond treatment can be vibrant, adventurous, and full of laughter. 💜

🐾💙 September is National Service Dog Month — and we’re celebrating our very own Coco at https://viamarhealth.com/
Meet Coco Klinedinst, our beloved therapy dog here at ViaMar Health. Born on July 15, 2022, Coco quickly revealed her natural gift for emotional support, and she’s been an integral part of our therapeutic community ever since.
With her calm demeanor and gentle presence, Coco has an uncanny ability to connect with both adults and adolescents. Whether she’s offering quiet strength during a psychodrama, providing a reassuring nuzzle in a breakthrough moment, or cuddling close after a tough session, Coco knows exactly how to bring comfort when it’s needed most.
But Coco isn’t all work. She thrives on attention, never turns down a round of pets, and happily soaks up every standing ovation she earns. Her gentle energy creates a safe and welcoming space where healing begins and hearts open.
This National Service Dog Month, we honor Coco and all service and therapy dogs who bring light, love, and healing into people’s lives every day. 🐶💫

Freedom, Confidence, Self-Love: A Declaration of Healing
From the voices of teens and their families in our Family program.
A Recovery Declaration of Independence
During today’s Via Mar’s Family Program: https://viamarhealth.com/family-programs/, adolescents and their loved ones came together to create something beautiful and empowering: a Recovery Declaration of Independence, a word cloud representing the undeniable rights they are reclaiming as they heal from their eating disorders.
The larger the words, the more frequently that right was claimed.
The most shared desires?
• To self-acceptance and self-love
• To eat what I like
• To appreciate and love my body
• To have confidence
• To feel and show my emotions
This powerful exercise reminded everyone in the room what recovery is really about - not just food or behaviors, but rediscovering freedom, joy, connection, and the right to be fully themselves.
Let this image be a daily reminder:
You have a right to happiness, mental peace, and to live your life to the fullest.
And you’re not alone in working toward it.
