Today's the day. It's SOCKtober!

Please support our friends at Āhuru Mōwai Trust by buying a pair of socks. Tried and tested by my family - Mr 11 says they are very comfortable and no seams. :)

"You might not be able to walk a mile in their shoes, but you can wear some socks to show your support!"

What a wonderful surprise at the Hub this morning!

In addition to all the awesome therapy work that goes on at the Hub, Mana Ukulele Group have been using the music therapy room for their fortnightly sessions on a Wednesday evening.

I played with them briefly back in 2018 - such a friendly bunch of people, with a gloriously eclectic taste in music! It's a pleasure to be able to offer them a 'home' and I very much appreciate the gift they left for me. :)

Supervision now on offer at Mana Therapy Hub!

This week I completed a course on Supervision Skills for Health and Social Service Professionals with NZ Coaching & Mentoring Centre. It was such an inspiring course that aligned with my values on social justice and person-centred practice and a lot of my existing skills were very transferable. I am so excited to be able to offer supervision to support other music therapists and allied health professionals on their professional journeys.

Many thanks to Music Therapy New Zealand for organising and subsidising such a great course.
