✨ Meet Kim – Owner & Operator of Nirvana Wellness ✨
If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind the treatments at Nirvana Wellness — here’s a little about me 💜
I’m passionate about helping people look and feel their best, inside and out. From holistic beauty to intuitive healing, I love creating a space where clients can relax, reset, and leave glowing. 🌸
Get to know me a little better 👇
💜 What inspired you to become a beautician?
I’ve always loved helping people. My passion for wellbeing began in my early 30s while living overseas, when digestive challenges led me to discover holistic health and the connection between inner and outer beauty. That journey inspired me to help others look and feel their best — from the inside out.
💜 How long have you been in the beauty industry?
I trained in the late ‘80s and have worked in New Zealand, overseas, and on cruise liners ever since — constantly expanding my knowledge with post-graduate training in beauty, massage, electrolysis, colonics, intuitive healing, and Bowen therapy.
💜 What’s your favourite part of your job?
Helping clients feel relaxed, renewed, and confident. Seeing someone leave feeling lighter, glowing, and more at ease truly makes my day. I also love holding space for clients to let go of old beliefs that no longer serve them. ✨
💜 What beauty treatment could you not live without?
A good facial or massage — the perfect blend of relaxation and results. I’m results-driven and love seeing how the skin responds when it’s nurtured with quality products, gentle touch, and intuitive healing.
💜 How do you unwind after a busy day at the salon?
Quiet time, a nourishing meal, a soak in the bath, or a gentle walk — simple moments that restore balance. I also love an infrared sauna to fully relax and reset. 🌸
💜 What do you love doing when you’re not in the salon?
You’ll often find me outdoors around beautiful Central Otago — spending time with the horses, boating with my husband, tending to the veggie garden, or enjoying Pilates class with my girlfriends. I also love creating healthy recipes and exploring new wellness ideas. 💜
