Kōanga

Kōanga Spring Seasonals offerings at Manaaki Wellbeing

Kōanga, the Māori word for Spring, is a season of renewal, fresh growth, and new beginnings. Traditionally, it is a time connected with preparing the whenua, tending the māra, planting, and nurturing what will grow in the months ahead.

In the same way we care for the garden, Kōanga can also remind us to tend to ourselves — to clear away what has felt heavy, nourish what needs attention, and create space for renewed energy, wellbeing, and growth.

As the days grow longer and the season changes, we invite you to make a little more space for your own care.

This Spring, we are featuring two nurturing treatments to ease tension, encourage relaxation, and restore balance.

A little seasonal care to help you feel refreshed, nurtured, and ready for Kōanga

Refresh • Hydrate • Glow

Step out of winter and give your skin the fresh start it deserves.

Our Spring Renewal Facial is a beautifully layered seasonal treatment designed to refresh dull, dry or congested winter skin and restore softness, hydration and glow.

Your treatment includes:

Dermaray
We begin by preparing the skin with Dermaray. This will allow your serums to penetrate deeply while also supporting collagen and elastin production within the skin.

Diamond Microdermabrasion
Next, we gently exfoliate away dry, tired surface skin to smooth the complexion, refine texture and reveal fresher, brighter skin underneath.

Signature Hand & Arm Massage
While your skin is being cared for, your hands and arms receive a relaxing massage to encourage you to fully unwind.

Neck & Shoulder Massage
We complete your treatment with a soothing neck and shoulder massage, helping to release tension and calm the nervous system.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Infusion
A deeply hydrating oxygen infusion follows, helping to plump, lift and replenish the skin with moisture for a fresh, dewy finish.

Perfect for:
Dry or tired skin, dullness, dehydration, seasonal skin changes, congestion, or simply when your skin needs a little extra care.

Spring is the season to bloom — and your skin deserves to as well.

Infrared Heat Therapy
Gentle infrared warmth is applied to the back to create a soothing sense of comfort and relaxation, helping the body soften and encouraging the therapeutic oils to be absorbed into the skin.

Tuarā Mirimiri
Your back, shoulders, and neck are then treated with flowing mirimiri techniques to help release physical tension, support circulation, soften tight muscles, and encourage the whole body to settle.

Atua Healing Hā
Throughout your treatment, various Atua Healing Hā are woven into the session to support the shifting of blocked energy

Soak • Unwind • Restore

A gentle wellbeing ritual designed to give you time to slow down, rest your feet, and enjoy a deeply relaxing experience.

Your treatment includes:

Bio-Pulse Ionic Foot Bath
Settle back while your feet are immersed in a warm Bio-Pulse ionic foot bath for 30 minutes. The warm water and ionic process create a soothing, restorative experience that encourages relaxation and gives your body space to simply rest and reset.

A Moment to Pause
As your feet soak, allow yourself to switch off from the busyness of the day, breathe more deeply, and enjoy a quiet moment dedicated entirely to your wellbeing.

Waewae Mirimiri
Your ritual finishes with nurturing Waewae Mirimiri — foot and lower-leg massage — using flowing, grounding touch to soothe tired feet, encourage circulation, release tension, and leave you feeling relaxed and restored from the ground up.

A beautiful Spring ritual for anyone feeling tired, heavy, stressed, or simply in need of some nurturing time for themselves.
