Cothú is a holistic wellness clinic in Hamilton Central, at 14 Garden Place. The entrance is down the alley beside the Garden Place Noodle Bar and Cream Eatery on Worley Place. Its distinctive feature is that it combines lymphatic therapy, mindful movement and nutrition under one roof, run by functional nutritionist Moira Dunn, who became a mother and began the business from her own wellness journey.
The clinic offers lymphatic massage, buccal facial massage, red light therapy, body-shaping therapies and rejuvenating retreats. It also sells wellness products and two e-books: The Cothú Guide to Fasting, which covers preparation and reintroducing food afterwards, and a Nutrient-Dense Recipe Book. A Fasting Preparation with Support package gives guidance during a fast. Gift vouchers can be used for any Cothú experience.
New clients can book a free discovery call to talk through their needs. The business has also run day retreats, including one at Kula Muriwai Wellness Retreat, and it sells its broth at the Hamilton Farmers Market once a month. The website says Moira is a member of the Nutritional Therapy Association and the International Institute for Complementary Therapists, and offers 20 per cent off an order to people who join its live list.
