💚🌏$10 off your initial Bowen treatment in September 🌏💚

🌿"How can something so gentle, have such a profound effect?"
🌿"I feel like my joints have had an "oil and grease"."
🌿"Actually,..... the pain is gone!"

These are just a few of the many astonishing things my clients tell me after 3 or 4 Bowen sessions.

For a minimal investment and a very relaxing treatment, they get to experience better energy, less (or no) pain, better movement, and quicker recovery after heavy physical work.

You get $10 off your initial Bowen treatment when you book in September.

I keep the cost low, so you can come back for the follow up work, and really deal with the issues that are bothering you.

Find me on Facebook or send me a message if you want to know more, or want to book yourself your first session 💚🌏

50000 more kiwis eligible for insulation grants

Homeowners are being encouraged to check their eligibility for the Government’s Warmer Kiwi Homes programme after changes to its eligibility criteria, announced the Minister of Energy and Resources Dr Megan Woods today.

“Extending the eligibility criteria will help more homeowners and their families to enjoy comfortable homes, without feeling they need to economise on heating,” said Megan Woods.

“The changes mean up to 58,000 more lower-income homeowners will now meet the criteria so I encourage homeowners who think they, or those close to them, might benefit from this programme to check the Warmer Kiwi Homes website. People who have applied previously, may now be eligible,” Megan Wood said.

Run by EECA (the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority), it has delivered warmer, drier, healthier, and more energy-efficient homes for tens of thousands of New Zealanders since it began in 2018. Last year, the programme reached a significant milestone of having achieved over 100,000 retrofits in that time.

Grants were previously set at 80% of the cost of insulation, and up to 80% for heating, capped at $3,000 for those living in an area with a ‘Deprivation Index’ of 8, 9, or 10. Further top-ups from community organisations in some centres have made the cost of insulation even lower or no cost.

The change means insulation grants have been extended to include level 7. Further, those in levels 9 or 10 – and Community Services Card holders – will now be eligible for a grant that is 90% of the cost of an insulation retrofit.

“Increasing the grant to 90% for insulation will extend the number of potential homeowners, who may be the hardest to reach,” said Megan Woods.

“It will also allow funding from community organisations who support the programme to spread twice as far, reducing the cost to zero for many people.”

If you have family who have been feeling cold in their home through winter, help may be at hand to make their home warm, dry, and healthy.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.
