Health & Healing Services…
provides a wide range of compassionate and comprehensive health & healing services for the elderly and their families. We understand as we get older situations change, families may not be able to be with their loved ones due to other commitments, location or your loved one might find it difficult to accept in-home care.
Here at Health & Healing Services we can take the stress and worry out of choosing and finding aged care services as well as navigating and applying for aged care funding.
We demonstrate the highest level of honesty, transparency and integrity in all our interactions with others.
We support individuals to remain happy and healthy in the comforts of their own home, maintaining a quality of life as long as possible.
We become the advocate, asking questions to understand the individual’s situation and support them to work through the steps to address their needs, positive changes, and being in control of their choices.

Feeling sad, low moods or lacking motivation are not part of the aging process, talk therapy can be a powerful tool in helping older adults maintain mental health, cope with life changes, and find joy and meaning in their later years. By working together, we can make sense of life events and changes that challenge our resilience, confuse and confound us, nowadays, there is so much more support available to the older generation.
Relocation
Moving house can be both emotionally and physically stressful for older people and their families.
Health & Healing Services understand the stress relocation can be especially if your loved one is living a distance away, has suffered a fall or medical condition and can no longer live alone. We use our therapies to help with the challenges and work with services to make that transition a little more stress free.
We work with professional relocation businesses who can provide a range of helpful services to assist with moving into their new home or facility.
We are the shoulder to lean on and together we can.
Dementia Coaching for Caregivers
Differentiating between normal memory loss and dementia can be puzzling since the type of memory that is affected in day-to-day situations is also the kind affected in the early stages of dementia.
Health & Healing Services are here to support you and your loved one on an easier journey with dementia, dementia is not the bad guy in the room, its about how to find a positive approach to care. We help you care for a person with dementia without guilt & frustration, we help you understand the different stages of dementia, find solutions and techniques to positive actions.
We can relate to;
This is so exhausting; I can’t get a minute to myself.
I try & try, but they are still so mad at me
Together we can ease the burden turning challenges into victories!
