Registered NDIS Provider
Your trusted NDIS partner for Psychosocial Recovery Coaching and Support Coordination
Our mission is to empower individuals with disabilities to lead fulfilling and independent lives, whilst also acknowledging and honouring the unique challenges they face.
We take a steady, communicative and collaborative approach, ensuring our participants receive access to the correct types of services and care to meet their needs.
OUR NAME:
The Totara is a huge, native, ancient tree that grows for hundreds of years in the forests of New Zealand. It stands tall, mighty and proud, and is renowned for its commanding presence and contribution to the land and environment in which it grows; nourishing and sustaining life around it. For a Totara tree to fall is a great tragedy.
In Māori mythology, Tāne is the god of the forests and of birds.
In 2023, Jane’s father in New Zealand passed away following a long struggle with his health. A beautiful sympathy card was received by her family after his passing. In this card was written the message:
“Kua hinga he Tōtara i te wao nui a Tāne” - A Totara has fallen in the forest of Tāne.
The concept of the Totara tree is firmly interwoven with the psychosocial support provided through our business. Our aim is to help individuals build strength and resilience, with a determination to hold steadfast during challenging times. We also acknowledge that we are all part of a greater whole, and that we all need support from our wider community at some point.
Jane is very passionate about providing person-centred support to people in the psychosocial disability space. Her focus is on empowering others to seek and receive the care, guidance and encouragement they need to live powerful and enriched lives whilst living with mental health.

As your Psychosocial Recovery Coach our goal is to be here beside you as you navigate through life living with mental health challenges. Through a lens of knowledge, education and lived experience, we are here to provide emotional support, to help you identify and work towards the things you want to achieve, and to help you utilise your NDIS plan. With a vast collection of person-centred tools and strategies, we are passionate about helping you to enhance your own unique strengths and skills so that you can be in control of your own choices through life.
Support Coordination
If you're feeling overwhelmed by trying to make sense of your NDIS funding, we've got you covered. Our role as your Support Coordinator is to oversee your access to services and supports using your NDIS Plan. We will sit with you and discuss the supports that you want and need. We will then link you in with these supports according to the funding in your plan, and oversee the care they provide. We won't interfere, we'll just make sure you're being well looked after.
