A weekend before Christmas, we gathered by the Auckland coast for a Christmas Light Wellness Camp. The day has passed — but what stayed with us goes beyond the event itself. Here’s what we took away, and what we’d love to share with you.
In the festive season, “health” is too often reduced to restriction
In New Zealand, Christmas is sun, sea, backyard BBQs, and effortless laughter. Yet each year, “being healthy” can start to sound like rules: don’t eat this, work it off, be disciplined.
As if enjoying pavlova or a generous holiday table must be “repaid” later — quietly placing joy on one side and wellbeing on the other. It made us ask: in a New Zealand summer, do we really have to choose between feeling good and living well?
So we created an experience — not a lecture
OXYENERGY was never meant to be the brand that points fingers during the holidays.
We don’t believe in the indulge–punish loop, and we refuse to let anxiety drive choices.
To us, real wellness is gentle support: helping you feel light after gatherings, and energised through summer celebrations. That’s why this wasn’t about what you should do — it was about how you could feel.
We designed it to feel easy, relaxed, and genuinely worth showing up for
We took it outdoors under the New Zealand sun, letting the breeze and greenery be part of the experience. The flow was intentionally light: gentle stretching, guided breathing, and easy conversations about festive eating — no intensity for intensity’s sake, no calorie counting, just reconnecting with your body’s rhythm and comfort.
We invited a nutritionist to join us as a friend: sharing simple ways to feel less heavy after a BBQ — not handing out a list of restrictions.
Your words said it best
What moved us most were the real reflections shared on the day:
"I thought it would be another Christmas 'don’t-eat-this' talk — instead, I learned how to enjoy the holidays better."
"It’s not the scale — it’s that heavy, low-energy feeling after a big meal."
"Today reminded me wellness can be as natural as a walk by the sea."
And that’s the point: people don’t need another wellness “judge.” They need a companion who understands the rhythm of the season — and stays beside them.
Our products are made to support moments like these
OXYENERGY wasn’t created to “fight” the festive season, but to support your body through it, so you can stay clear, comfortable, and light even when routines shift.
When BBQs, desserts, and gatherings stack up, your body doesn’t need harsh “detox” trends or aggressive stimulation. It needs gentle, intelligent support — the thinking behind our weight management range:
-
Stimulant-free formulas that don’t add to your body’s load
-
Gentle metabolic support designed to help you stay in your natural rhythm
-
Light, non-burdening formats that fit real festive life
Not “holiday redemption.” A festive support system.
More than an event — a reminder of what we believe
Wellness shouldn’t steal joy at Christmas or become a heavy New Year’s promise. It should be natural, sustainable, and life-friendly — supporting you to enjoy summer gatherings and good food while staying balanced and comfortable.
At OXYENERGY, we’ll always believe: true health never asks you to give up life’s joys. It should feel like a New Zealand summer — energised and free. We’re not here to manage your life. We’re here to support you in finding your own effortless balance, in every season.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. This Christmas, OXYENERGY is here to support you — in every real festive moment.
