A common kōrero I have with wāhine that I work with is around how they tolerate other behaviours and experiences because “it’s not physical violence so it’s not that bad”

A lot of these normalities stem from childhood but also societal norms.

Relationships can be challenging, humans are complex but challenging times are not an ongoing experience this is where we can normalise unhealthy experiences.

A healthy relationship is not only physically safe but is also emotionally safe.

There’s a part of the recovery and reintegration journey where our wāhine may feel like they are only defined by their past but through our studio, a trauma informed environment and access to a supportive community they begin to see they are much more capable than they give themselves credit for 🤍

Our beauty skills aspect of the program is designed to empower and build confidence.

Not everyone who joins our program wants to work in the beauty industry but a common theme is that they don’t believe in themselves beyond their past.

Learning a skill helps them to realise they are capable, and to give themself a reference point for that capability.

For those who do want to go into beauty it also gives them tangible experience to create financial independence and opportunities.

Beauty was actually the turning point in my life out of addiction, trauma and it created so many opportunities for me and I’m so grateful that I get to share my experience with other wāhine.

The wahine that do pathway into our For Her | Beauty Studio Ōtautahi are supported to build a career and running as a charity all profit goes back to the wāhine and any income for the studio runs our costs.

I’m so proud of what we are creating and can’t believe it’s still so new but thriving already.

Registrations are now open for Her Future.

This is a new program we are running. It is a fully funded 6 week program for wāhine ready to create direction, explore what’s possible and start taking meaningful action towards what comes next.

During the 6 weeks you will create a 90 day plan and be supported to achieve one goal, for some that will be employment and for others it may be emotional stability or getting your license.

This program requires a level of readiness with participants expected to be approximately 3-6 months out of immediate crisis or significant instability and ready to focus on what comes next.

If you’re currently experiencing instability or crisis we encourage you to join the waitlist for our reintegration program which is designed to support earlier stages of rebuilding.
