Voices from the Village
“I have recommended the services to others who have also benefitted from the sessions. Again it’s important to understand the context of your clients and I can say that my experience has been great because of this.” - Talavou, 35
“Before we found Village Collective, we had sought help from other health and well-being providers for our daughter. However, these ‘Pakeha-led’ institutions felt uncomfortable and dismissive of what our daughter was experiencing. From our very first meeting, Koni made both our daughter and us feel at ease. Our daughter was finally able to speak and be heard. Koni helped her find her voice, allowing her to express her thoughts, feelings, and emotions.” - Mother of Talavou, 48
“Village Collective is a warm and welcoming space to be in. It allows those attending sessions to relax and not feel as though they are in a sterile, hospital environment.” - Talavou, 21
“Accessibility & Brown. This service is affordable, professional and is friendly on our brown and MVPFAFF+ groups. A service like this is rare” - Talavou, 23
