HEAL™ is seeking schools, funders, foundations, donors and community partners who share our belief that every child and adult deserves the opportunity to experience connection, confidence, belonging and growth.
OUR GOAL
TO WORK ALONGSIDE SCHOOLS, LOCAL IWI…
… to make HEAL programmes accessible as part of individual learning, wellbeing and support pathways, particularly for neurodivergent and special-needs learners, rangatahi, tāngata whai ora, and people who benefit from alternative, relationship-based approaches to learning and wellbeing.
We also welcome partnerships with organisations and individuals who hold or distribute funding for disability, education, youth development, mental health and community wellbeing.
Funding can help remove one of the greatest barriers to participation - the ability to pay - by supporting individual placements, school programmes, respite experiences, HEAL™ Out & About visits and wider community access.
Whether through funding, sponsorship, referrals, programme partnerships or donations, your support can help us take HEAL to the people who may benefit from it most, and ensure that financial circumstances do not determine who gets the opportunity to connect.
I am only one person,with a strong vision, which I believe can be reality.
My vision is, by December 2026, to have 20 local businesses, organisations each fund ONE session each, per week.
With that funding we can ensure over 20 people every week get access to connection, empowerment and education at the first ever HEAL™ space in Ōtaki.
Call me to learn how you can become a HEALn member of your community, and the many ways in which I can ensure you get the media and marketing exposure you deserve for your support. You will feel the passion.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Notes of aroha from our community
-
"I've always been weary of horses since getting a hoove print on my back as a child. I definitely felt comfortable with moose and his big brown eyes looking into my soul and he obviously new and let me find my way. Evie is just a beautiful wahine. I feel like ive known her forever. What an amazing kaupapa. The wairua of the whole place is tau (peaceful) the confidence my miss 4 suddenly had in a new environment was amazing to see. Normally very shy was now telling Evie what to do. We both cant wait to come back. We both hope to be apart of this journey for a long time and cant wait to share with our whanau. Nga mihi nui kia koe me o hoiho mo o kotou manaakitanga Koka Evie Ka nui te aroha."

"I love that her vision for this place is for it to be a community supported healing space and resource for, and with, the community. For all those who would enjoy and benefit from the healing power of Horse assisted healing and learning to have access to it. I love that her kauapapa is different from something like Riding for the Disabled programs, (no dis to them, they're great at what they do), in its flexible, responsive, relational approach, and its basis in Aotearoa and te ao Māori ways of working, healing and growing. The horses blew me away with their unique personalities, their own histories of healing from trauma and their ability to attune to me, and make me attune to them, and myself! I suppose attunement, through breath, heartbeat and herd dynamics awareness, is their survival super power, and it gives them this massive advantage as therapy animals. Apparently some sciency research has indeed confirmed that it regulates our nervous systems just to be around horses, even (perhaps especially when) we aren't riding them. This was certainly my experience on Friday. I just felt so aligned in myself, so calm and grounded and settled for the rest of the day. Like you feel after a good therapy session with a therapist, but without the emotional hangover!"”

"Eve and her beautiful horses have been game changing for my 8 year old daughter, Mya. Eve is patient, kind and supportive with Mya. Her 3 horses are so safe and calm. Mya shows a sense of calm and focus when she is with the horses that she struggles to find in other areas of life. Thankyou for all you do."
— Jenny Mother of anxious ADHD daughter
