Our stories

"Through EMDR therapy, Emma* found a way to heal the memories that once controlled her life. For years, she had pushed through, trying to stay strong for her two young children."
Untangling the past with EMDR
"For many years, Donald and Jean were part of our North Canterbury Totara Club whanau. They came each week with warm smiles, gentle humour, and a kindness that made everyone feel at home."
Donald and Jean - A life shared with love
"For Kadee*, life hadn't been easy. She had endured pain no young person should ever experience, and the memories of those years still echoed quietly beneath her laughter."
Stronger than her scars
