Music therapy, described by the trust as a way to heal both mind and body, uses all elements of music to promote well-being, health, and development. “It’s about using all of music’s elements to support people’s well-being, health, and development,” Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust. music therapist Rachel Foxell says.
Named after Hinewehi Mohi’s daughter, Hineraukatauri, the trust provides life-changing therapy to individuals with special needs, including those with cerebral palsy, brain injuries, and mental health challenges.
