We rely on the kindness and generosity of our neighbours. At present, we have a unprecedented demand for our services. We require a larger storage shed ideally close to central New Plymouth. The catch is, we are not able to pay for it. Any money we get, goes into buying more household items for people in need. Is there a storage shed not being used, that is safe and secure, that is easy to get in and out of, 5 - 7 days a week.

Goodday! I hope you are all balancing the school holidays and work and housekeeping with grace 😉

I would like to share my facebook group for working mothers, where I offer a weekly relevant topic online via a FB live, on how to support our health and wellbeing naturally.

It is focused on supporting working mothers who may have a little too much on their plates, and provides easy tips and tricks and contextual information to help make life a tad less stressful.

We talk about nutrients, we talk about breathing techniques, we talk about flower essences, we talk about food intolerances, etc etc.

Tonight at 7.30pm, I'll be talking about a simple way to help reduce stress, using a few essential oils, so if you are interested, or you know working mums that are just in need of some support for free, let them join the group and enjoy the raft of Naturopathic options to support their wellness.
It is free and has no strings attached, just answer the 3 questions to join, to make sure I know you are in the right place with the topics discussed.🌏💚www.facebook.com...

Live independently while your loved one is cared for in the same Ryman village.

A full life for Helen is one that is surrounded by family. When she first moved to the village, Helen’s husband John was being cared for elsewhere. Now that he is living at the same village, it brings Helen and her family so much happiness and reassurance.

“All the family cried when he moved in. They were so happy because it was such a beautiful thing to have him close by.”
