LoKAHI WELLNESS

What LoKAHI WELLNESS does

LoKAHI Wellness (LōKAHI Wellness Centre) is a privately held direct-to-consumer wellness center operating from a single location at 7 Trade Way, Kilsyth South, Victoria, Australia. Founded in 2016 by Kerry and Scott Thurrowgood after Scott's 2014 back injury exposed them to the inconvenience of accessing multiple alternative therapies across separate providers, the business was built around the thesis of consolidating complementary wellness modalities under one roof. The center offers 12+ therapy services, including float tank therapy (sensory deprivation pods with 500kg of Epsom salt heated to 35°C), infrared sauna (near/mid/far wavelengths), Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (MHBOT) chambers delivering 35% increased oxygen saturation, CVAC therapy simulating altitudes up to 22,500 feet, multi-wavelength red light therapy (633/660/810/850/940nm), cryolipolysis, Normatec compression lymphatic drainage, BrainTap light/sound entrainment, hot & cold contrast therapy, massage, EVOLT body composition scanning, and free 15-minute wellness consultations.

The company serves health-conscious individual consumers — including athletes, busy professionals, and people managing chronic pain, stress, or sleep issues — through three monetization layers: per-session pricing (typically $35-$355 casual, with member pricing at 30% off), a House Membership subscription at A$22.95/month (3-month initial term) bundling discounts with monthly EVOLT scans and member events, and pre-packaged gift card combos (e.g., Relax Combo Float+Massage for $160). Bookings and gift card sales flow through the FloatHelm online platform, while in-person service delivery occurs at the single Kilsyth South center. The go-to-market relies on organic digital channels (Wellness Hub content, Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn), Google reviews via Trustindex, free wellness consultations, and a 'Bring a Friend' referral mechanic. The founders also publicly advertise franchise opportunities, though no additional franchised locations are disclosed as operating.

Regional players

• Urban Wellness Melbourne: Multi-modality wellness studio in Melbourne offering float, infrared sauna, and recovery services; closest geographic competitor with an overlapping integrated-therapy concept.
• Chill Cryotherapy / Chill Wellness: Australian wellness studio chain focused on cryotherapy, infrared sauna, and compression — overlapping modality set and target customer with LoKAHI.
• Sauna House: Australian infrared and traditional sauna studios with social bathing and wellness positioning; competes with LoKAHI's infrared sauna sessions within the same eastern Melbourne / Victoria catchment.
• MyHealth1st Wellness / The Float Spa: Australian float-tank-focused studios offering sensory deprivation plus adjunct wellness services; comparable to LoKAHI's core float therapy offering and membership model in the same geography.

Broad incumbents

• Endota Spa: Australia's largest day spa chain offering massage, facials, and wellness treatments at multiple locations; comparable as a multi-service wellness brand in the same consumer segment, though less focused on high-tech modalities like float tanks or CVAC.

Emerging players

• Saltuary / Salt Therapy clinics: Australian halotherapy and salt-room providers with a complementary, non-overlapping modality; relevant adjacent comparator for the alternative-therapy positioning LoKAHI cultivates.
• Hyperbaric Health (Melbourne): Australian hyperbaric oxygen therapy providers; overlapping modality with LoKAHI's MHBOT service and similar clinical-adjacent positioning.

Direct peers

• Body Catalyst: Multi-location Australian wellness clinic offering cryolipolysis, infrared sauna, red light therapy, and body sculpting — directly overlaps with LoKAHI's tech-heavy therapy menu and target market.
• FloatHouse: Multi-location float and wellness centre (US/Canada) combining float tanks, infrared sauna, cryotherapy, and massage under one roof — a direct conceptual analogue to LoKAHI's integrated-therapy positioning.
• Imbue Natural Wellness: Holistic wellness centre combining massage, naturopathy, infrared sauna and mind-body therapies — comparable small-format Australian operator targeting the same integrative wellness segment.
