The Perfect Gift When You Can’t Be There

If you don’t live in Christchurch or don’t have capacity to support loved ones yourself, you can rest assured your whānau is cared for and has all the practical help they need. Gift them one of our thoughtful packages, with a caring team member ready to step in where you can’t.

Meet our Team

  • Friendly business owner

    Jasmine

    Jasmine is deeply empathetic, joyfully others-oriented, and a lover of restoring peace and order to overwhelming environments.

    She has been married for over a decade and has two delightful primary-school aged children. With multiple years of experience as a foster mother (from toddler to teenager) and a disability support worker, she brings a wealth of lived experience.

    Alongside this, after experiencing the loss of her third child to pre-term labour, she also understands the deep pain of loss and recognises the need for both practical and emotional support when navigating a season of grief.

  • Christina

    Christina is thoughtful, considerate, and deeply people-focused, with a natural ability to bring order and steadiness into homes during difficult seasons.

    She is married and the mum of three children, and she understands firsthand the complexities of family life when things don’t go to plan.

    Through her own experiences - including pregnancy loss and supporting her children through injuries, medical care, and recovery - Christina carries a deep empathy for families facing physical, emotional, and mental strain.

    Christina values good nutrition and thoughtful organisation, and she loves cooking and baking nourishing meals that bring comfort and stability to households under pressure.

  • Having an extra pair of hands in the Postpartum time was an incredible gift. Jasmine came over and picked up on the little jobs I hadn't been able to get to. I felt so comfortable having her in my home, knowing that as a mum herself, she just gets it

  • "I cannot say enough good about the team at Hands That Hold. They filled a need I didn’t even know existed until they provided me a listening ear and caring heart. The care I receive has been invaluable to me”

    — Amy (North Canterbury)

  • "Hands That Hold kept me sane in some of my darkest moments. Jasmine brought peace, confidence, and lightness into a chaotic space”

    — Sam (Christchurch)
