When you are part of the whānau of a medical child, you most likely are keen to support them - the parents as well as the child - to the best of your ability, but you don't always know how.  How can you help navigate the medical system, how do you talk to loved ones when they face grief and loss, seemingly impossible decisions and lengthy hospital stays. 

Everyone in the village has an important role to play, let's talk about what that might look like. 

The group coaching sessions can be customised to suit your needs and are especially helpful to parents, wider family, close friends, health professionals and support workers.

"I didn’t have much knowledge about this topic and I learned a lot. Valid examples were given, during Workshop including scientific evidence. The facilitator is knowledgeable. When asking questions she took the time to explain things. I heard a lot about mindfulness but this goes deeper cause it’s a combination of recognising your triggers, and brain -body connection, also basic tips and strategies were explained. Definitely something that I would like to learn about more. Recommendable especially for anyone who wants to learn about dealing with stress improving quality of life and finding balance. Thanks Mathilde."

"It was an interesting experience and quite different from what I had expected. It was interesting going into the science behind the techniques. I was sad when it was over as I wanted to spend more time diving into the techniques and exploring ways to combat the stresses of everyday life through using the special techniques. It was a fun informative workshop."

"First, Mathilde was knowledgeable and her way of the presentation was excellent. On top of that, I had a wonderful experience today. It's my first experience with a new technique to get rid of stress. It can be done easily and anywhere in a short time, so I want to incorporate it into my daily life. I very much appreciated this event.　Thank you, Mathilde ."
