Become someone's angel

Let's collectively support each other

​We all need support to do our bit in the world. ​

​

And to make therapeutic support as accessible as possible, we - collectively - can all help, using the principle of Gifting, or Paying It Forward. 

 

» Donate a session* to those who can't afford »
 

It takes a village to bring up a child, to support a marriage, to heal our traumas, to be our best self. ​​​​Therapeutic support will cascade to benefit all those we touch in big and small ways.

​​​

Consider donating a session* and making a positive difference in someone's life, and all the people they come into contact with.

HOW THIS WORKS

​

Rather than a 'user-pays' model, this initiative fosters gifting, or Paying It Forward as a way to collectively support each other.

 

The Gifting Economy Model that I am using has 3 pillars;

  1. Gift / Donation from an angel (that could be you)

  2. Client pays what they can afford (that could also be you, at another time)

  3. Subsidised Hakomi session (that's me)

​

​These 3 pillars create a sustainable offering that supports those in need who can't afford to pay 100% - we all win :-)

  • How do I donate?
    Super easy! Select how much you want to give in the donor box above and click the donate button and then enter your payment details. There is the option for ongoing monthly contributions also. If you do decide to gift, I want to thank you sincerely for supporting this initiative and those who are in need of support.
  • How much should I donate?
    That is entirely up to you and what you can afford. Every gesture counts, be it $1 or $100. A one hour session costs $100, but a donation of $50 will gift a session for someone in need. More $ will gift more sessions. Please note: The donation platform (donor box) and payment gateway (Stripe) both charge fees. If you wish for 100% of your donation to go towards supporting Angels Pay It Forward Hakomi Sessions, you can either... 1) (easy option) Select to cover the fees by 'topping up' or ... 2) (cost effective option - incurring zero fees) Make a manual bank transfer by contacting me and I can send you an invoice (yeah, I know, it doesn't look as professional).
  • Can I set up a regular contribution?
    Yes! Thank you so much! Setting up something regular means I can provide continuity for clients who need longer term therapeutic support. There is the option to give monthly donations (above), or you can contact me directly and we can sort out the details.
  • Can I get a tax rebate for my donation?
    IRD states: You can claim 33.33 cents for every dollar you donated to approved charities and organisations. You can only claim on donations that added up to the same amount or less than your taxable income during the tax year. Please note, Angels Pay It Forward is a personal initiative and I do not have a registered charity number, therefore this is NOT LISTED on IRD's approved list of charities. You can still try the process and see how you fare... you will need to submit a donation receipt through the IRD website. You can read how to do this on their website. I can provide you with an end of year receipt, on request.
  • I love this idea, how can I support it more?
    I have a couple of ideas... 1) Share this with your colleague, family and friends. I promote the Angels Pay It Forward Hakomi sessions on my channels (email, website, telegram and instagram). If you want to share this initiative with your networks, you are very welcome to. 2) Your business could sponsor this by offering a more substantial donation. ​ Sponsored by ... [your business name and logo here]. 3) If you would like to expand on this initiative, there is the potential to grow this within our local community, bringing in a collective of private non-funded wellbeing and health therapists to offer their services from a larger pool of donated money. Living vibrant communities need social resilience and connection. We all need support to do our bit. If this is something that gives you a buzz, let's talk and see what magic can happen!
