Hi, Welcome to elemental health

Our aim is to utilise a true and genuine holistic approach to mental health and wellbeing by situating our practice in and around the natural world whilst simultaneously drawing on evidence based biopsychosocial and cultural practice.

Nature-based methods addressing health concerns are becoming more common in mental health settings to address difficulties including anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress disorders, as well as addictions.

Creating a therapeutic space within nature that promotes and encourages wellbeing has been found effective to prevent and improve mental health difficulties whilst also help ing with the recovery of physical health concerns (such as strokes etc). Why not see if there is anything we can offer you…


 

where are we based?

Currently we are working on a sustainably built cabin which will be located within the boundaries of Hamilton, Waikato.

The cabin will be situated within easy public transport reach but, will be settled nicely in a natural environment complete with native planting and the opportunity to “walk and talk”

We also offer telehealth appointments which can be especially useful for those with anxiety about seeing a professional.

WHY CHOSE US?

  • worked within Te Whatu Ora for more than two decades combined –knowledge of systems and people within them

  • experience in both mental health and addictions specifically

  • established networks with PHOs and NGOs

  • a percentage of profits would be reinvested into the trust and its preservation (aligning with healthcare related climate targets and Te Ao Māori)

  • We are passionate about this and are motivated to create a better outcome for tangata whaiora experiencing difficulties with their mental health and addictions
