Our Surroundings
HeartLinks signs meet you at 16 Coroglen Avenue in Birkenhead, on Auckland’s North Shore, and guide you along a driveway that reveals a safe, tranquil nature haven that is protected by large Flame / Cabbage and Gum trees, native flaxes and Pongas. Your arrival may be heralded by local Tuis and Rosellas or you may be greeted by Inanna, Anita and Stephen’s black cat (Inanna means goddess of the underworld).
Our Clients
Many clients express how much they enjoy sitting and looking into the green bush reserve while they wait for their session - just looking and listening - the stillness contrasting the weight and concerns of their world. In the therapy room client’s often are inspired by the view through the French doors of the Koru fronds emerging from the Pongas that adorn the garden. The spiral suggests “extension, evolution and continuity, uninterrupted concentric and centripetal movement, the very rhythm of breathing and life itself.” (Tresidder, 2000) Symbolising beauty and unfolding growth - qualities many clients seek to connect or re-connect with in their life.
