OjasAndTheMoon is a wellness sanctuary at 24 Peter Street in Caversham, Dunedin, built around the Ayurvedic idea of ojas, the body's deepest reserve of vitality. The founder, Sylvia, holds a diploma in Ayurvedic medicine and has spent nearly two decades in wellness-focused day spas. Treatments include somatic bodywork and massage, infrared sauna, LED light therapy for the face and the body, and tuning forks and reiki. The site also lists Face Up, a face-sculpting treatment, as coming soon. A wait-list is open for it, and the first 50 people to join are named the Founding Fifty, with an opening rate and a set of rituals to use at home.
The studio's approach is slow and intuitive, with each session built around stillness and warm botanicals rather than a fixed routine. The site describes its sauna as a way to soften and release tension, and its light therapy as a way to refresh the skin. The founder's aim is to make space for rest, which the business says is a need many people neglect. The site gives the email and form for questions, and the team will guide visitors through the offerings.
