(1)

Koukoulee offers private luxury yoga retreats on Waiheke, events and corporate wellness at some of the island’s most stunning locations. Every little detail is thoughtfully tailored to your intentions and planned to help you focus on the important stuff - your wellness. Rather than pressuring people into impossible stereotypes, our retreats celebrate authenticity. Our whole reason-to-be is about s

haring a gentle, balanced and optimistic break from the norm. We thoughtfully and intentionally slow-down and break the pattern by feeding the body and soul, so you get some sanctuary and leave feeling inspired and better than before. Think boutique accommodation rather resort or retreat complex. We have a range of self-contained luxury accommodation for your group with spa/swimming-pool, private lounge, dining, kitchen, bedrooms with luxury linen and toiletries. Think delicious, gut-loving recipes that are big of flavour and light on your digestion. Our filling and creative menu of balanced vegan meals, will have you inspired to take a few recipes home. Think totally bespoke. No two breaks are the same. Our ‘triage’ approach diagnoses exactly what you wish-for and tailors a made-to-order event. We’ll curate a personalised accommodation, staff, menu and activity package to meet your group dynamics and needs. Koukoulee was founded by Vassia Simou. As a ‘burn-out’ survivor, Vassia’s wellness philosophy is that every once in a while, we need to reset so we can see the big picture. Taking time-out to ‘find your happy’ is a joyful and fun experience. Vassia has spent the last three years building a large team of hand-picked, incredible individuals who are experts in their fields of yoga, Pilates, chefs, PTs, beauty therapists, and masseurs. These passionate specialists put their soul into their craft. What they do is more than a job to them. Vassia has worked in marketing and events for over 12 years but she gets a real kick when bringing people together, creating beautiful experiences and seeing the smiles on their faces. In Greece - where she comes from - it’s called ‘filoxenia’.

Stress and Your Skin: The Hidden Connection

Did you know your skin is one of the first places stress shows up? Here’s why:

When you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol, the “stress hormone.” While cortisol is helpful in small doses, prolonged stress can:
✨ Trigger breakouts by increasing oil production.
✨ Dehydrate your skin, leading to dullness and fine lines.
✨ Break down collagen, speeding up signs of aging.
✨ Inflame skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea.

At our wellness centre, we understand that addressing stress is essential for healthy skin - and remember our skin is our biggest organ. That’s why our holistic facials are designed to target both physical tension and emotional stress, combining mindfulness techniques with lymphatic drainage, muscle relaxation, and gentle skincare to bring balance back to your body — and your complexion 🌿

Your skin doesn’t just need care; it needs calm. Ready to see the difference a stress-relieving facial can make? 💆‍♀️

I've been waiting for things to quiet down to do this introduction and I am very excited to do it now because the reviews have been glowing!

Charlie brings over a decade of experience in care and support work, where she has used massage to help clients improve sleep, manage pain, reduce stress, and more. Witnessing the profound benefits firsthand inspired her to formally train as a massage therapist.

She began with Ayurvedic yoga massage but sought a deeper understanding of anatomy and physiology, leading her to earn a Level 5 Sports and Remedial Massage Diploma. This advanced training equipped Charlie with exceptional knowledge of the body and the skills to treat a wide range of clients, including those with complex needs.

Charlie's approach is deeply personalised, tailoring each session to address specific injuries, mobility challenges, or areas of tension. Her ability to combine expert massage techniques with her extensive care background ensures effective, compassionate support for every client.

Remedial massage with Charlie

Charlie is trained in Ayuverdic, remedial and sports massage with more than 10 years working with clients with injuries, pain, stress and sleep issues. Remedial massage is a therapeutic massage that uses a variety of techniques to treat muscle and soft tissue issues:

Pain and injury management
Remedial massage can help with muscle injuries, trigger points, and poor joint mobility. It can also help with chronic pain and muscle tension.

Soft tissue techniques
Remedial massage therapists use a range of techniques to manipulate soft tissues, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and stretching.

Customised treatment
Remedial massage therapists work with clients to develop a customised treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and concerns.

Holistic treatment
Remedial massage can help with a wide range of issues, including headaches, joint pain, anxiety, depression, and repetitive strain injury.

Relaxation
Remedial massage can also have a relaxing element.

Why we do what we do

Greek word for silkworm cocoon

We offer wellness retreats and morning yoga events at some of Waiheke’s most stunning locations. Our yoga studio in Oneroa is open for daily classes and one-off events and workshops. Looking for a private session for your group? We can organise yoga & brunch (or just yoga) at your space for your group.

We have created an extensive yoga teachers network on the island and work with some of the best accommodation providers. Get in touch :)

Koukoulee was founded by Vassia Simou. After a long and tiresome period, she realised that stopping to take a breath is more important than chasing goals - for the mind, the soul, the people around us and even work. Yet we barely do it.
