Testimonial
Ahavas Chaim has provided me with the healthy physical space I needed to be me. Before Ahavas Chaim, I never felt comfortable in my own body; with my history of unsafe and unsupportive relationships, I was a person who didn’t know how to love or to be loved. My mentor, “G.”, became my rabbi, my big brother, my support system. He provides me with a relationship that is nonjudgmental – he’s never fazed by what I throw at him – and loving, caring, and growth-oriented. I know that no matter what I do, he will always be there for me.
