If you would like to explore conversation with myself working with women, please do contact me; e mail Merwolh@live.com. I practice as a social work therapist in The Bay of Plenty engaging with your questions, struggles, safely, gently. I am available by appointment at the Wesley centre, Te Papa, Tauranga. We will work with narratives, with arts, engage Indigenous knowledge systems, slowly build on emotional spiritual intelligence. Learning together, you can recognise your meaning, utilise safe support for you as you grow well in your life.
My work also shares a recent research study with womens sharing those extraordinary ordinary ways spiritual identity informs her in social work in Aotearoa. For in being together we remembered, reimagined, recovered extensive and deeper legacies of meaning of great value.
These are the following pages: Earth, Being here, Silver Moon, Our Voice, and more.....
