Chaia Hazan, BA
Chaplain, Treatment Assessments
|
Chaia Hazan is a veteran of a 20-year battle with anorexia, bulimia, and other life threatening disorders. Her heart’s desire is to share the knowledge she has gained from her journey and help others walk into the freedom that she has found. Her testimony is being heard throughout the United States and Canada, and her story is an inspiration to all. She knows that hope, healing and freedom are possible for women who have awakened to the realization that the eating disorder, which was at one point within their control, has in fact now began to control them.
Chaia states, “Please believe me when I say that freedom is possible…but it is not by our own willpower that we gain freedom from the grips of an eating disorder…if that were the case many of us would have been free long ago. Instead, it is with the help of others who know the way ‘out’, and with God who IS able to do all things, that we truly find freedom.”
Chaia’s passion for life is guided by the knowing that with and through God not a single woman is beyond hope because with Him ALL things truly ARE possible.
