OUR MISSION
Everything we do, we do to equip! We do not create co-dependency, but instead, provide services that produce real results. We believe every person has the ability to be great and our mission is to remove barriers.
Helping people get unstuck from the mental mess is our main focus, with the intention that every person will feel empowered to be exactly who they were made to be.

WHAT YOU CAN
DO ABOUT THIS.
Breaking the stigma around mental health in NZ begins with you. It starts with you equipping yourself. Caring for others becomes easier when you begin to care for yourself. We have a range of services to help you with this. The next step is to genuinely care for your neighbour. Fear is rampant right now, and fear centres you around one thought, “What is going to happen to me?”. When you genuinely care for people in your world, your gaze naturally moves off yourself and onto others. What you are doing here is allowing love to drive out fear. Caring for people in your world does wonders for them and for yourself. Go and buy someone a coffee and talk life!

Our programs are inspired by and built on the work and research of Dr. Caroline Leaf and Dr. Daniel Amen. They also incorporate insights and approaches from multiple psychological methods used today, such as psychodynamic theory, psychoanalytic theory, ACT, CBT, narrative therapy, and more. Additionally, our programs involve mentoring strategies, advisory services, and coaching. Our professional development programs aim to bring long-term brain changes that lead to long-term behavioural changes, significantly increasing your emotional health and intelligence.
