Wellness Days
Supporting through grief
Your mental health matters to us
Inspire
Bringing Hope
Our vision is informed by the principle of empowerment – Whakamana – through Mana Atua – commitment to the wellbeing of people in grief through the community gift of time and resources.
​
At Feeling Fab Foundation, we empower individuals through our diverse range of wellness programmes.
Transform
Changing Futures
A common theme of our Wellness Days is the quiet, nervous start of the day, which soon transforms into a laughing, chatting, exchanging of phone numbers end of the day. There is no pressure; we are here to help nominees leave the blanket of grief and their worries at the door. They are taken care of by our caring and understanding team of volunteers, aka ‘Angels. Delicious food is another element that brings people together, sparking conversations and creating lasting memories.
Heal
Caring Hearts
Our dedicated team works tirelessly to heal hearts and minds, offering support and compassion to every individual we encounter. Our biggest wish for the nominees who attend our Wellness Days is that they feel welcome, safe, and honoured for all they have gone through or continue to go through.
Connect
Building Stronger Communities
Feeling Fab Foundation strives to connect people travelling similar grief, trauma or loss journeys, building stronger communities and fostering a sense of belonging for all. Join us in creating a network of support and unity.
What are our days all about?
​Our biggest wish for the nominees who attend our Wellness Days is that they feel welcome, safe, and honoured for all they have gone through or continue to go through.
​
​Depending on the type of Wellness Day, activities may include for women; hair styling, makeup, nails, hand massage, reiki. For the menfolk, a special guest speaker, a delicious meal, and a chance to connect, 'man-style'. And for our youth, this is a work in progress, however, we are working on making our Youth Days an unforgettable and positive experience.
