About Us
Founded by sisters Stephanie and Eve Glover, they’ve worked together for over 15 years, providing their services to the population of Mangawhai, Te Arai and beyond, fine-tuning their techniques to bring a safe space for clients where physical and emotional tension can be released – the end result will have you feeling rested, relaxed and peaceful.
Inspired by their beachside Te Arai location, on the stunning east coast of Northland, New Zealand, the sisters service those residing locally, including guests staying at Tara Iti Golf Course and Te Arai Links golf course, luxury lodges and Air BNBs, as well as clients travelling on superyachts in the pacific islands. The sea also influences their choice of skincare products, exclusively using Thalgo skincare products for facials, which include natural, ocean-derived ingredients.
Just over an hour north of Auckland City lies the pristine surf beach of Te Arai. The thriving surf town of Mangawhai is just 10 minutes away, Te Arai is a place of peace with natural surroundings and a rich cultural history. Locals say there is a special healing energy here. The Te Arai Wellness Collective has been offering the best therapeutic massage in the region for over 15 years. Luxury organic spa quality facials, couples massage, pregnancy massage, sports massage, acupuncture and girls weekends are created for those who appreciate an experienced therapist. On location ‘in-home’ massage and spa are tailored to suit the needs of the client and delivered to the surf and coastal regions of Omaha, Te Arai, Mangawhai and beyond.

About Thalgo Skincare
For our facials we use products containing quality, natural ocean-based ingredients from French skincare specialists, Thalgo.
Expertise
The Thalgo laboratory relies on a multidisciplinary scientific team including pharmacists, research engineers, microbiologists and biochemists. They work in close collaboration with expert phycologists and experienced dermatologists to develop active ingredients and formulas that are more effective than ever.
Sustainability
In 2021, Thalgo mobilized even more for the oceans, by joining the association The Sea Cleaners, created by Yvan Bourgnon, to clean up the oceans and reduce waste, thanks to the Manta project. This giant depollution and recycler catamaran, designed by Yvan Bourgnon, will travel the world's oceans most exposed to plastic pollution from 2024.
Thalgo’s commitment:
CLEAN OCEAN: We carry out beach clean-up operations regularly thanks to more than 300 committed THALGO employees.
GREEN PACK: Material for our cartons and POS is from eco-managed forests. We’re committed to reducing plastic and improving how much of our packaging can be recycled.
CLEAN BEAUTY: We’re integrating a maximum amount of ocean-friendly ingredients and reducing use of controversial substances.
GREEN FACTORY: We’re reducing water consumption. We’re recycling our materials and reducing our carbon footprint.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: We’re producing renewable energy thanks to our industrial site. We’re taking on good things to do by using reusable bottles and reducing our waste and how much we print.
