Mental Health + Well-Being - September 1st to 30th đź§
Did you know, 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they never have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.
Don’t forget, this month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (23 - 29 September) and Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th.
However you choose to take part, feel free to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

Bowen Therapy for newborns and babies
"You fixed an issue we didn't know he had."
This is a comment I often hear when mothers bring their newborn or baby in for Bowen Therapy.
The gentle Bowen Therapy often results in a reduction of crying and unsettledness, and an improvement in feeding, burping and wind issues.
The awesome Flourish Taranaki has again opened their beautiful space on 12 Omata Road in Westown for me to offer Bowen for Babies on Tuesday mornings.
If you want to see me there, feel free to connect with me here, or book online, choosing the “Flourish option” 👶💚
