Transformational Breath for emotional trauma in Christchurch, New Zealand, following the earthquakes and the mosque terrorist attack

Canterbury

Transformational Breath for the people of Christchurch

Following the earthquakes and more recently, the mosque terrorist attack, Christchurch is a city with heavy emotional baggage and trauma.

At the beginning of April, I completed Levels one, two and three, of Transformational Breath workshop with Helle Thomson. At this workshop I met an incredible woman named Anna Hattingh. We had an incredible heart opening and healing experience. Together, we have a vision to become certified transformational breath facilitators to assist and benefit the lives particularly of people in Christchurch. Currently, Helle, an amazing facilitator, is the only certified transformational breath facilitator in the North Island, New Zealand. We want to change that. We want to get transformational breath off the ground in Christchurch.

This ‘Give a Little’ page is to support my friend Anna. When I first set eyes on Anna I had an immediate connection. I really felt that there was something special about her, something special that might help change the lives of others. Anna is a medical doctor from South Africa but is currently unable to practice as her qualification is not from New Zealand. Anna has come through a journal of deep personal struggle, she is a single mum with financial challenges. She now wants to help people in an holistic way.

To begin this journey of healing and compassion for those in Christchurch, Anna and I need to fly to Los Angeles to become certified as transformational breath facilitators. This money will fund the beginning of an incredible journey of investment not only for Anna, but for those in need in Christchurch city.

Once Anna is qualified, she can pay it forward back to those that generously donated by facilitating free sessions and setting up workshop sponsorships for those who need it most in our community. This will be part of a Charitable Trust which focus is to help ‘youth at risk’ in the community. Please help us by donating towards Anna’s flights and training in LA so we can bring some of this transformational power to the South Island, and begin to support healing the hearts, souls and bodies of those continually effected by the trauma of the Christchurch earthquakes and mosque terrorist attacks.

I am doing the same training with Anna in LA and will finance my own part of this journey. I live close to the mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, and feel I want to help people to emotionally recover from many stressful years.

Use of funds

Anna to be certified as a Transformational Breath facilitator. Surplus money will be used to sponsor people who can't afford to attend the workshops. If insufficient, money will be used to sponsor people to attend Helle's workshop in the North Island.
