Wishing you a safe & happy holiday season 🎄

13/12/2025

This time of year can be a LOT for our kids.

They’re tired.
They’re excited.
They’re overwhelmed.
They’re adjusting to change.

Prizegivings where they clapped for others but didn’t hear their own name.
Saying goodbye to a classroom, a teacher, a routine that felt safe.
Looking ahead to a new year, new expectations, new worries they don’t quite have words for yet.

And if we’re honest it can be bloody hard to parent through all of that.

So, to support kids (and parents) through all the feels, Heal is giving away three copies of the beautiful book by Kiwi legend Rebekah Lipp:

📖 How Do I Feel?
A dictionary of emotions for children
(and yes… for adults too).

It’s the kind of book that helps kids name what’s going on inside when “I don’t know” is the only answer they’ve got.
And sometimes, having the words makes all the difference.

💛 To enter:
• Like this post (and of course make sure you follow us)
• Comment with one word that sums up how this time of year feels in your house
• Tag a parent, caregiver or teacher who might appreciate this too

We’ll draw three winners and get these books into the hands (and hearts) of families who need them.

Because feelings don’t disappear just because the school year ends
and no one is meant to navigate them alone.

Love this ❤️

New!!! 🌟

I’m so excited to introduce Youthfit classes to Clive school.
It’s designed to build strong bodies and even stronger confidence.

These fun and energetic sessions are open to boys and girls, combining strength and fitness in a safe and supportive environment.

My goal is to help our children to feel powerful through movement, and;
✨ Build strength
✨ Boost confidence
✨ Learn healthy habits for life
✨ Have FUN!

Starting young makes fitness a normal part of life - something they will enjoy and carry with them as they grow.
By making movement fun and empowering, we’re helping them grow into confident, active young people.

Starting in term 4!
Every Friday
Year 2-4: 3.15 - 3.45pm
Year 5-6: 3.50 - 4.20pm

$60 for the ten week term

To reserve your spot, contact [email protected] for a registration form.

A few facts around Men’s Health have really hit home for us lately. Some are hard truths, and they remind us just how important it is to create spaces that support men’s wellbeing.

But here’s our question: how do we do this better?
We’d love to hear from the men - would you come along to a speaker evening if we hosted one? Or would a smaller, more relaxed group activity, like a walk or hike, feel more comfortable? We want to know what you think.

👨 Blokes, let us know in the comments or send us a DM.
👩 Ladies, check in with your husbands, partners, dads, or colleagues and share their thoughts too.

We run a men’s-only sauna session on the first Sunday of each month. The benefits of hot/cold therapy are HUGE - relieving stress, boosting mental wellbeing, supporting recovery, and building a real sense of community.

So blokes, if you are keen to give it a go, we have one this Sunday 2pm at East Pier (don't knock it till you try it!) Head over to our website for more info www.healhb.co.nz

Your feedback means a lot to us. Thank you 🤍

We loved seeing you all at Build Better Bones! 🦴

A massive thank you to Dr Tracey Clissold for coming down from the Mount to share her knowledge with us — we hope you left feeling motivated and confident to put her strategies into practice.

We’re also incredibly grateful to Canopy Imaging for providing the DEXA scans for our giveaway. Congratulations again to our lucky winners!

If you have any questions or feedback from the event, we’d love to hear from you 🤍
