Welcome to Imani

Imani is a ten-bed, secondary care facility for eating disorder treatment. Our facility was opened by Pam Goodman of Tharagay House, and is situated in the central suburb of Observatory in Cape Town, South Africa.


Our eating disorder treatment programme includes support and care for those in recovery from eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, compulsive over-eating and other related disorders.


We work with leading eating disorder professionals: dieticians, medical staff, psychologists, trained counsellors and recovery assistants – many of whom have walked this path and are an invaluable support.
At Imani, anorexics, bulimics and compulsive over-eaters benefit from the mutual support of others who are overcoming similar disorders. Our clients live together in a home-like environment that attracts local and international clients.
We teach our clients to love, trust and believe in themselves

Our comfortable, home-like environment is ideal for those seeking recovery.
