Pamper Day for our patients

Our Stories
Written By Kim Manunui

Last week Lake Taupō Hospice had the pleasure of hosting a Pamper Day for some of our patients, and it was truly a wonderful afternoon. The day was all about taking a break from the usual routine and giving our patients a chance to feel spoiled and cared for. We had everything from nail polish to blow drying, makeup, foot treatments, and even massages— these small pleasures certainly brought huge smiles.

This magical day was made possible by the incredible team from Toi Ohomai. Their beauty therapy teachers and students came in for the afternoon, offering their time and skills to make our patients feel special. It wasn’t just about the treatments; it was about the kindness and attention they poured into each person.

Throughout the afternoon laughter and quiet moments of relaxation filled our activities room. One of our patients, who hadn’t had her nails done in years, lit up with joy as her hands were treated to a fresh coat of polish. Another patient simply leaned back, eyes closed, enjoying the gentle massage of a foot treatment. These moments were priceless—a chance for them to feel truly pampered, cherished, and bring back a sense of normalcy and confidence.

It was a great reminder of how powerful these small acts of kindness can be. We’re so grateful to Toi Ohomai for helping us create a day filled with joy, relaxation, and human connection.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
