About Us
Embrace Change specialises in providing compassionate and stress-free moving services for seniors and their families. We also work in the disability space, and with those who may have temporary or permanent impairments, limited mobility and more.
Our team of experienced professionals understands the unique needs and challenges of our clients who are transitioning from their current home to a new residence such as a retirement village, assisted living facility, accessible homes, nursing home or simply a smaller residence.
We offer a range of wrap-around services to help navigate this often emotional and potentially overwhelming process.
These services include downsizing, decluttering, packing and organising, transportation, storage, and unpacking and setting up in the new location, as well as cleaning, garden and house maintenance, home staging, and sales of household furniture, artwork, ceramics, other general items and possessions
We differentiate ourselves from other moving companies by focusing on the specific needs and concerns of our clients and their families.
We prioritise our clients’ wellbeing, and ensure that every client feels heard, supported, and well cared for throughout the moving process.
We work with seniors, their family members (sometimes based offshore), lawyers, real estate companies and agents, healthcare organisations such as Te Toka Tumai Auckland, caregivers who may be helping with the moving process, doctors’ offices, hospital social workers, Public Trust, those with power of attorney, executors of wills, trustees, and funeral directors, as well as referrals from Age Concern and Housing New Zealand.
Embrace Change Ltd is owned and managed by Helen Greenland-Kirk and Simon Kirk, who established the company in 2019. Helen and Simon bring to Embrace Change a wealth of experience and expertise across diverse industries.
Helen has an appreciation for, and a strong and knowledgeable background in antiques, jewellery, fine arts, ceramics, design and interior design.
Simon has worked as a senior manager for large multinational companies and privately owned businesses, often reporting to the board of directors or the business owner. He specialised in overseeing change management, business restructuring, new business growth and managing large numbers of staff through change.
Prior to joining Helen in her business, Simon worked for a large New Zealand rehabilitation, pain management and occupational health provider. This provider's core focus at all times was on their patients’ and clients’ wellbeing, rehabilitation, full recuperation and health and safety.
Helen and Simon bring together their expertise and experience to ensure a seamless and trustworthy process. They will prioritise your personal wellbeing and take great care of your property and possessions, providing you with complete peace of mind.
