Sensory Room Frequently Asked Questions:
Are bookings private?
Yes! Unless you are booking into a specific class or specific group sessions (more on that coming soon!). Your booking is just for you.
Do I need to book and pay for carers, parents, support staff?
Only the people using the items in the space need to pay.
Who is the Sensory Room suitable for?
Our Sensory Room can be set up to suit all ages and stages from infants to children, adults, seniors, and groups.
This room supports your wellbeing in so many ways, including reducing stress, building cognitive function, connecting to your senses, and increasing resilience. Our team can run guided sessions or you can enjoy the space independently.
Can I purchase a concession card?
Yes! We have these available to purchase in person at Te Puna Rau Aroha.
Is the space accessible?
Yes!
We have a ramp leading into the building, plenty of parking, accessible toilets, and wide entryways.
How do I find Te Puna Rau Aroha?
On Liverpool St, heading towards the mighty Tararua Ranges, continue diring until you have passed the hospital and St John Ambulance Bay. You will see a large MASH Trust sign - turn into this driveway and continue around the bend until you see our bright blue building.
How often should I use the Sensory Room to get the most benefits?
Everyone has different needs, but we find that consistency is the best approach. You might start with once a week, but many people find 2-3 times a week works really well.
