OUR KAUPAPA…

Our mission is to promote mental and physical wellbeing, by reconnecting men and women with Tangaroa (the ocean) and Whenua (the land), through a complete fishing and diving based Coromandel experience which reinvigorates, educates and nourishes.

We are all Providers in some way for our whanau. To be the best you can be for your whanau, sometimes you need to put your own wellbeing, mind, body and soul, first. Our wellbeing retreats let you take some time out to focus on number one, so you can go back and be the best Provider for your whanau.

We honour our Provider - nature & its creator - by helping men and women remember that they are a part of it. Fishing and enjoying the fruits of being on and in the water, is still the core of what we do. But there is so much more to what we do. We particularly enjoy showing men and women how to take less from the ocean, and use a nose to tail approach for maximum nutrition.

A message from Carl..

Provider is unique in that it specialises in Men's Wellbeing and Mental Health - and making the connection with Men through their interest in and love of fishing and the outdoors.

I realised through my own journey, and lived experience, there were not many avenues out there for Men specifically to discuss and work through stress, burnout and mental distress in a safe space that is relevant to them,

Provider is a journey into the past, exploring many aspects of nature and indigenous culture, to find ways to new ways to heal in the future.

We strip things right back to basics, so that nature can do the healing, looking at diet, movement and remembering the souls true purpose.

I run 4 day Men's Wellbeing Retreats, 6 week wellbeing reset programs, and offer 1 on 1 coaching, speaking and bespoke wellbeing resets. Most men coming on them have led busy lives, are burnt out, and are looking for a break and to find a better way of going forward.

Mental health to me, essentially means your brain is allowed to self heal, and align with the body and soul, as nature intended. Mental health is a place where returning to calm and balance comes naturally. Often to do this we need to let go of things that do not serve us, and our retreats and programs provide a safe judgement free space to do this, with support, knowledge and lived experience, having been there.

Provider is a sustainable business at its core, because it recognises that by healing people, one by one, we also heal the planet.
