“Heal For Life Foundation”

Dear Shaina;

Our centre, the Heal For Life Foundation, is run by survivors of child abuse/trauma for survivors of child abuse/trauma. I founded it here 12 years ago when I could not find the sort of place I needed to help me heal from my own abuse. We have welcomed over 5000 guests of all ages since then from 8 years old upwards, with the oldest guest being 84 years old. People pay what they can afford and we never turn anyone away.

Your music is much loved by the community here and we enjoy introducing your songs to our guests each week. In particular we play “How Could Anyone ” as part of one of our programs. This is a learning to love oneself day, the day we challenge the negative voices in our heads that say we are hopeless and no good. We do a visualization, a sort of rebirthing or rather giving birth to a new soul which is ourselves as a baby. At the end we play your song. Then each guest writes a letter to their inner child stating how they will love and look after themselves in the future. It’s a very powerful day.

In addition, your lullabies are wonderful for anxious guests. I have used them to great effect with young kids at our kids camp who are needing nurturing.

Warmest regards,

Liz Mullinar AM, CEO and Founder
