About Us
Nurture and Thrive Children’s Therapy Collective was established by Jamie Blank and Erin Rayner as a way to bring together Allied Health practitioners who are working towards a shared goal to improve the health and wellbeing of tamariki, rangatahi, and their whānau.
Initially, Jamie and Erin were both solo private practitioners who were working to support each other both clinically and professionally. In July 2022, Jamie and Erin formally joined forces to establish Nurture & Thrive CTC out of a strong desire to support one another in their respective fields and specialty areas, grow the diversity of services that they could provide, as well as to establish a network of trusted clinicians who collectively assist one another to achieve a greater level of service and care for the tamariki and rangatahi of Aotearoa.
Our shared mission for Nurture & Thrive is to help tamariki and rangatahi:
-
Feel empowered, engaged, and connected to the world around them
-
To be able to complete everyday tasks and activities with greater ease and joy
-
For their whānau to have a greater knowledge base and support system to assist their young people in their daily life.
