Introducing our new Ayurvedic Facial Massage and Reiki Service

Mukha abhyanga, an ayurvedic facial massage, offers a multitude of benefits in just one session. With its gentle yet firm strokes, this rejuvenating practice is said to promote relaxation, improve blood circulation, and help tone the facial muscles. It stimulates the lymphatic system, aiding in detoxification and reducing puffiness.

Heather from Fleurish will be here from 10-2pm on Fridays offering an Ayurvedic Facial Massage using Jojoba and Caster Oils or a Reiki Treatment.  Each treatment is 30 minutes, the cost is Reiki $10, Facial Massage is $20, half of which Heather donates to the KWC.  Please contact KWC for an appointment.

Kāpiti Women’s Centre receives $17,000 donation via fishing competition

Louise Waterworth’s mission is to help as many Kāpiti women as she possibly can – and a recent donation of more than $17,000 will contribute greatly to that goal.

Waterworth is the manager of the Kāpiti Women’s Centre, a service that helps women and children who have been victims of family violence by providing counselling, safehouses and funds for things like protection orders.

The donation of $17,015 came from the Texturite Reel Womens’ Kāpiti Classic fishing competition.

The competition, which was meant to be held earlier this month, was unfortunately cancelled due to bad weather – much to the disappointment of the 120 women who entered – but the night event still went ahead and saw over 250 people attend.
