Evidence-based Holistic Eating Disorder Treatment
At Ai Pono Hawaii, we offer evidence-based, trauma-informed holistic eating disorder treatment in a peaceful home-like setting with picturesque views of the ocean (just footsteps away), mountains, and lush gardens. Our treatment center was designed to reflect and complement its surroundings - creating a peaceful, relaxing environment that will help individuals reconnect with their inner selves. We also offer an in-person Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Program on Maui and a Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program accessible to all residents of Hawaii.
Our Philosophy
We recognize that eating disorders are complex problems with emotional, nutritional, and biochemical components, but we do not view those who struggle with these problems as irreparably damaged. Rather, we see them as highly intuitive, sensitive beings who developed an obsession with food and body as a way of coping with trauma and psychological stressors.
Our Clinical Leadership
Ai Pono Hawaii is under the clinical leadership of Dr. Anita Johnston, Ph.D., CEDS, author of Eating in the Light of the Moon. Dr. Johnston has been treating eating disorders for over 35 years and remains involved in the daily operations of our small treatment center.
