We are the Sutherland family, the faces behind Self-Trust Association. We are a kiwi family who highly prioritise good health and well-being and live a life that feels free and joyful. Our two beautiful children started home-school in 2022 when we decided this was the best move for our children to live a more authentic life aligned with our values. This momentous decision truly changed our lives. We re-evaluated the way we wanted to live and thrive as a family and soon after, we made moves to create Self-Trust.

We practice what we preach

When we talk about eating well, moving well, thinking well and living a life that feels true to our values, it all starts with us. Everything we talk about, we do ourselves. As a family interested in natural health we have tried and tested most things. Through trial and error, lived experience and a strong desire to continuously keep striving for good health, we feel like we've mostly "been there done that" when it comes to natural health care.

Keeping it simple

What we have found over the years is that 'keeping it simple' truly is best. You don't need to stick to the latest trends or fads, or get "new and improved" gizmos and gadgets in order to experience true health. It needs to be true to you and your values, and it needs to be simple. Good health and well-being won't come in a prescribed pill. It is what you do every day, most days, that matters. It is what you eat, how you feel about yourself, your feeling of purpose in life, the relationships that are close to you and how you treat your body.

We love what we do

Our family lives a life that brings us joy and happiness. We all love what we do and we love providing a service to you through the Self-Trust association. As we continue to grow and settle into our new community, we will widen our offerings and health-based solutions available for you. At the moment, as we ensure all our systems are up and running and all going smoothly, we're following our own ethos of 'keeping it simple'. In the mean time, we look forward to welcoming you all into our new space, meeting new faces and seeing familiar ones again. Thank you so much for being here and being part of our journey.
