Te Tiriti Commitment

We honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi as a foundation for genuine partnership and equity in all we do. Guided by mātauranga Māori and strong relationships with mana whenua and Māori leaders, we are committed to delivering music therapy that is culturally safe, and grounded in tikanga and te reo Māori. We ensure that the music therapy services we provide are appropriate to the cultural heritage and qualifications of our staff, and respectful of Māori healing traditions such as taonga pūoro and rongoa.  

We value the unique cultural expertise of Māori kaimahi, commit to uphold Māori spiritual practices, and continually deepen our learning so our services contribute to the wellbeing and aspirations of Māori clients, whānau and communities. When we make mistakes, we take responsibility to learn from them, and work alongside tangata whenua to restore trust and uphold mana.
