What Guides Us

How We Work

In Balance

Living in Balance

Creating a kind space within to explore, notice, and reflect.

Before beginning something new, it helps to pause and tend to the space within. Our values provide quiet ways to connect inwardly, in your own time and way. Whether you’re just beginning self-kindness or returning to the practice, our approach provides the scope of how we work in guiding you through your self-kindness journey.

Continue with the walkthrough at your own pace, by reviewing the offer of a 3 Day Trial♡

Non-clinical

A gentle way to arrive. This is where you may name what feels important right now, and open space for what matters most. Find intention click here.

Inner Growth

Self-kindness isn’t something to chase, it unfolds and ripples out. These quiet moments of guided reflection are here to support your attention and inner noticing. Find inner growth click here.

Mindfulness-Informed Practice (Whakatau te hinengaro)

Our approach is mindfulness-informed, drawing from the principles of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), developed by world-leading mindfulness teacher Jon Kabat-Zinn. We offer space to slow down, notice gently, and respond with care rather than judgment. Please note Kind Caller is not affiliated with the official MBSR programme, read our Disclaimer.

Self-compassion-Informed Practice (Aroha ki a koe)

Our work is inspired by world-leading self-compassion researcher Dr Kristin Neff, who says self-compassion (aroha ki a koe) includes mindfulness (whakatau te hinengaro), common humanity (te whanaungatanga), and self-kindness (atawhai i a koe anō). Of these, self-kindness is often the hardest to nurture, and that’s where Kind Caller begins, gently guiding you to grow care from within.

Nature-led (Te Taiao)

Our programmes honour the wisdom and rhythm of the natural world, not to control it, but to learn from it, walk with it, and be gently led by it.

Monthly Calls

Kind Calls offer a warm, human voice, not for advice or fixing, but simply to listen and be alongside. They gently support your self-kindness practice by creating space to slow down and notice with care.

This is an open invitation to go beyond the initial trial to practice mindfulness-based self-compassion during the Clear and Connected phases of the programme. Find Kind Calls click here.
