Neurodiversity affirming practice
Early supports for whānau and tamariki

Wellington

Kia ora! Nō Ōtepoti ahau, ko Te Whanganui-a-tara tōku kaianga ināianei. Ko Aelyth au.

I am passionate about providing mana-enhancing supports which foster joy and connection. In my work with tamariki, I enjoy running play-based and child-led sessions which whānau members can join in with. I love how music therapy offers the chance to get to know people in fun, creative ways.

I’m available for sessions in the home or at the AutismNZ resource center in Petone.
