When Daniel started working with Momenta in his final year of school, he had a passion for technology and a strong drive to learn.

Fast forward to today… he’s turned that passion into something incredible 💻
Daniel has developed his own wellbeing app, Koi: Daily Progress designed to help people build positive habits, set meaningful goals, and create momentum in everyday life.

What began as a personal idea has grown into a real tool supporting others, built from scratch through curiosity, persistence, and a focus on progress over perfection.

Daniel’s journey is a powerful example of what can happen when people are supported to explore their strengths, take action, and create something meaningful.

✨ “I want to say yes to what is coming next and feel confident doing so.”

This is what growth can look like.

At Momenta, we’re always inspired by the journeys people are on, building confidence, exploring new opportunities, and backing themselves to take that next step.

Saying “yes” doesn’t mean having it all figured out. It can simply mean being open, feeling ready, and knowing you have support around you.

We’re proud to walk alongside people as they build that confidence in their own way, at their own pace. 💙

We loved seeing Brayden’s volunteering journey shared by Volunteering Services💙
From a shy starter to a confident contributor, Brayden’s story is a fabulous example of what can happen when people are supported to grow in their own way. Great mahi Brayden! 👏

From shy starter to community standout... say kia ora to Brayden! 👋

We are so stoked to share his story and how volunteering isn't just about the mahi we do for others. It is also about building confidence and, for outdoorsy Brayden, a chance to connect with Papatūānuku while doing good for the team at Waipuna Hospice.
