The Wellness Store

Helping people achieve their optimum health is the focus of a new business in Hillary Square Ōrewa.

The Wellness Store is owned by Ritu Tomar, who also operates similar stores in Ōrākei and Whitianga.

Ritu says that while the shop shelves are well stocked with a range of supplements, organics teas and self-care products, it’s helping people on their wellness journey that is most important to her.

“Whether a customer is an athlete, a woman going through menopause or someone suffering from anxiety and depression, there are natural remedies that can help,” she says.

“An important step in the process is understanding the whole person – their lifestyle, diet and exercise regime. You must assess their needs and provide honest, genuine advice.”

Ritu says she is motivated to help people reduce their reliance on prescription drugs, which can often have side effects.

“We are particularly focussed on listening to our customers and trying to identify the underlying cause of their health issues.

“Sometimes one product is all they will need, but sometimes there is a need for a recipe of treatments. Finding what people need is the key.”

Ritu has a pharmacy background and 15 years experience in natural health. Working with her in-store are two naturopaths, an Ayurvedic doctor and a student herbalist.

“We are all committed to helping people take control of their health so they can feel the best they have ever felt.

“We stock the best natural supplements available from a range of companies including many local suppliers. All are high-quality or practitioner-only brands.”
