  • Healwell

    Healwell partnerships provide care that prioritizes personal connection, quality of life and outcomes that are valuable from both the patient and provider perspective. We know that this kind of care does not exist in a vacuum and it never relies on a single discipline.

  • Tui Balms

    OMT is the grateful recipient of sample Tui Balm’s products for our starting OM1 and OMBT students.


    In the early 1980s, Tui Bee Balm was designed by the late Colin Iles, an English bee keeper, combining only natural ingredients to create a multi-purpose soothing & healing skin care balm. The recipe was gifted to the newly formed Tui Community in Golden Bay, New Zealand, in 1984.


    For the first few years, the balms were hand-made with voluntary effort by the community residents. With a massage therapist and a naturopath part of the team, new recipes were created and the range increased to include balms for specific uses as well as a range for all-over body massage.  In 1994, Tui Balms became a registered co-operative society and in 2008 a registered charitable organisation operating as a not-for-profit business, each year donating the profits to registered charities.


    Tui Balms has massage & health practitioners as well as private customers in New Zealand and Australia, and many internet customers scattered throughout the world.  To meet the demand in Europe and the UK, Tui Balms recipes are also being produced under licence in the UK by Songbird Naturals.
