Induced After-Death Communication in Aotearoa New Zealand

Welcome to a New Zealand-based space for those exploring Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) - a therapeutic approach that supports people navigating grief, loss, and the continuing bonds many feel with loved ones who have died.

Tēnā koutou katoa. If you are seeking support, you are welcome to make an enquiry. This can be a gentle first step in exploring whether this approach feels right for you.

You’ll also find a collection of resources to help you learn more about IADC, grief and the continuing bonds many people experience after loss.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
There is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
Doesn't make any sense.

— Rumi

Understanding the Approach

Induced After-Death Communication is a therapeutic approach drawing on elements of EMDR. It is designed to help ease the emotional intensity of grief and support a renewed sense of peace following loss.

IADC is practiced by trained therapists, with training supported by the IADC International Institute.

Continuing Bonds in Grief

Modern grief therapy recognises that relationships with loved ones do not simply end with death. They often continue through memory, meaning and the bonds we carry forward. Approaches such as IADC support this understanding, helping people heal while honouring the ongoing connection many feel with those who have died.

A Careful and Client-Led Process

IADC is offered by trained professionals who approach the work with care, integrity, and respect for each person’s experience. The focus is always on easing distress and supporting healing in a way that is guided by the individual.
