"We absolutely loved our stay at Karitane. It’s helped our sleeping at home progress so much. Inala went from waking 5–6 times per night, to now only waking up twice, exactly what we went there for."

"Because of this service, I am able to recognise that just because I had my children young, my life isn’t over like everyone had told me it was. I am not a disappointment. I am not a waste of potential, and I didn’t deserve the judgement and harsh words that I was dealt."
