The Renfrew Center of Philadelphia – Spring Lane truly saved my life. Through their holistic approach to my well-being, targeting both mind and body, I learned how to maintain my health. Through Renfrew’s programs I learned to not only dwell in my body but to learn from and love my body and what I am able to do. Renfrew helped me dream again, and ultimately live again.
