V.I.T.A. = LIFE (Latin)

 "The VITA Life model is a bottom-up approach of occupational performance and wellness, that begins at the level of the nervous system, supporting regulation, safety and purpose as the foundation for growth, toward self-understanding, mastery, and ultimately self-actualisation."

An Evidence-Based Path to Healthy lives and Thriving Communities

​

At the heart of our practice is a powerful, theoretical informed model designed to make sense of how we develop, make sense of the world, grow and thrive—especially following adversity. Think of it as a map: a thoughtfully crafted framework that brings together what we know from therapeutic, and  holistic wisdom, into something practical, understandable, and deeply human. 

​

​

​

​

​

Our model blends the best of Occupational Therapy, Psychology, and Holistic Health, with a clear shift from simply being trauma-informed to embracing a more empowering vision: Healing-Centred Engagement. We believe that whilst trauma, illness and adversity may shape someone’s experience, it does not define who they are. Every person is multi-faceted, unique, and full of potential.

​

​

​

​

​

This approach underpins and informs our practice, whether it is delivered  virtually or in-person; individually or with a variety of client groups; through regulated clinical work or through holistic workshops and well-being services.  Each session we focus on empowering others with translatable theoretical knowledge, and practical insights into each of our modules, whilst weaving into a bigger picture of self-awareness, emotional regulation, social connection, and purpose.

​

​

​

​

​

​

You will learn how your body and mind work together to support health and well-being, how to maintain a balanced (regulated) state, and how to reconnect with nature, others, and yourself in meaningful ways. The goal? To reduce stress, promote wellness, lift mood, and create long-lasting, positive change.

​

​
