The Kondōu Story



The Japanese term for recently, now or next time referring to a point in time which is close to the current moment- this time.


Based on the principal of an all encompassing experience, a pause in current time, where you give your time, to lose all sense of time for all we have is such a time as now...  A reminder to pause and give yourself a slow moment, a moment of now... 


Why Japanese? 


The Japanese way has always been something so special to my heart, throughout my cultural studies and industry practices, I was immediately in awe of their concept of living, I then went onto working with a Japanese skincare company that taught me a lot of skin health science and hands on methods to improve the muscles of the face.


The culture has a deep respect for nature, a keen aesthetic sense and reverence for tradition reflected in their daily practices, this is what inspired me to create a space of wellness, an experience that adopts the Japanese concepts of life these being, to live with purpose and passion (ikigai), see beauty in imperfection and strive for excellence not perfection (wabi-sabi) embrace essentialism and live sustainably (mottainai), and keep a healthy body and a sound mind (Shin-Gi-Tai) 



We look forward to welcoming you soon...
