Flexible Music Therapy Services in Porirua and Wellington
Welcome to the Little Musical Caravan! We offer neuroaffirming music therapy and adaptive music services for children, teenagers, and young adults across Porirua, the Kāpiti Coast, and the Greater Wellington region.
Through our Mobile Caravan, Mana Therapy Hub (Porirua), Kāpiti Studio, and onsite school visits, our team creates safe, welcoming spaces where young people can explore, express themselves, and grow at their own speed. Our work is neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and disability-positive – focusing on personal strengths, individual identity, and genuine human connection.

Tailored music therapy options
Every individual brings their own unique personality, interests and play style to therapy. As a result, sessions look a little different for everyone. Whether you are seeking individual support for your child, collaborative group programs for your school, or professional development, we offer dedicated pathways to help you find the right support:
For parents and caregivers
We offer nurturing, strengths-based support built around your child’s unique passions and ways of being. From 1:1 music therapy and short-term ‘taster’ sessions to open play-based groups and adaptive music lessons (piano & guitar), we combine music-making, creative play, and gentle connection to support areas like self-expression, identity, and regulation.
For schools and educators
Our school-based services include targeted one-on-one sessions for students, collaborative group sessions, open play-based groups, and teacher workshops. Furthermore, we partner directly with classroom teachers, learning support coordinators, and TAs. Together, we create practical tools that make everyday learning environments more inclusive and regulating for students.
For music therapists and allied health professionals
We support the wider music therapy and health community through reflective professional supervision, professional development, and practical toolkits. Whether you are seeking 1:1 supervision, peer reflection groups, or strengths-based documentation templates, we welcome the opportunity to connect and support your work.
