Koru Wellbeing is becoming Sanflora Wellbeing — A Fresh New Chapter Begins —
The heart of what we love isn’t changing: Naturally Gentle. Honestly You.

Welcome to Sanflora Wellbeing 

Naturally Gentle. Honestly You.

Natural Skin Care & Aromatherapy rooted in nature, made for radiant, mindful living

“I create skincare as I travel the world — gathering plants, stories, and scents that nourish both skin and spirit.”

Founder, Certified Natural Skincare Formulator, 
Certified Aroma and Massage Therapist

Hi, I'm Sandy, originally from Switzerland and founder of Sanflora Wellbeing — a brand born from my passion for natural skincare, beautiful scents, and the quiet, transformative power of self-care. My heart beats for nature, animals,  people, cultures and humanity. I love outdoor activites, adventures and travelling. I want to learn, enjoy, inspire, share and love. And I want to take care of these gifts, live the call of my heart and contribute to a better world.

 

After many years in the corporate world, I found myself craving something more grounded — something that aligned with my values and brought me closer to nature, purpose, and personal wellbeing. On my journey I not only fell in love with a Kiwi man, but soon after also with the beauty of New Zealand and its unique native flora. I'm so happy to call Aotearoa my home today.

 

Based in Queenstown, I’m inspired daily by the beauty of the land — especially the healing plants that have supported wellbeing for generations.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the way plants can heal, calm, and connect us — not just physically, but emotionally. My journey led me to study aromatherapy, natural skincare formulation and a variety of massage technics, where I discovered how deeply scent and self-care can influence our mood, our energy, and our sense of self.

 

I created Sanflora Wellbeing to share that wisdom through skincare & aroma therapy that’s as nourishing as it is aromatic, blending botanicals with pure essential oils to create scented rituals that restore, uplift, and connect you to yourself.

​

My hope is that Sanflora Wellbeing becomes part of your day in the gentlest, most joyful way — a little moment of calm, care, and joy in a busy world.

 

With warmth,

Sandy

​Naturally Gentle. Honestly You.

At Sanflora Wellbeing, we believe skincare should be more than just clean - it should be soulful. A ritual. A return to yourself.

 

From Queenstown to the World.

Based in the breathtaking landscapes of Queenstown, New Zealand, Sanflora is inspired by the wisdom of native plants known for their healing and skin-soothing properties. But Sandy’s story doesn’t end in New Zealand — she’s a self-described botanical nomad, gathering plant wisdom and scent inspiration from around the world. Every travel and her European routes bring new notes, new rituals, and new layers of meaning into the Sanflora range.

natural skincare and why it's

worth making the switch. As long as humans have had skin, they’ve been taking care of it. For centuries, natural ingredients have been trusted for their effectiveness and safety.

Why Aroma Therapy

Why Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils in holistic treatments to improve physical and emotional well-being. Plant oils have been used for their health benefits for 1000's of years. Essential oils, extracted from plants, possess distinctive therapeutic properties which can be used to improve health and prevent disease. These natural plant oils are applied in a variety of ways including massage, inhalations, compresses, baths and skincare. They are readily absorbed into the skin and have gentle physiologial effects. Aromatherapy is an especially effective treatment for stress-related problems and a variety of chronic conditions. It can help with:

skin conditions

Skin Conditions

Skin problems are often the

surface manifestation of a deeper

condition, such as a build-up of toxins in the blood, hormonal imbalance or nervous and emotional difficulties. In this area the versatility of essential oils is particularly valuable because they are able to combat such complaints on a variety of levels. 

pain and inflammation

Pain & Inflammation

Essential Oils are easily absorbed

via the skin and mucosa into the

bloodstream, affecting the circulation as a whole. Oils can provide considerable pain relief for rheumatism, arthritis, muscular stiffness. They can relieve local inflammation and reduce swelling. Some oils tend to reduce or stimulate the blood pressure.

respiratory issues

Respiratory Issues

Nose, throat and lung infections

are conditions which respond very

well to treatment with Essential Oils. By inhalation they are absorbed into the blood circulation even faster than by oral application. Treatments to help respiratory problems include asthma, bronchitis, coughs, colds, flue and pneumonia.

digestive disorders

Digestive Disorders

Although it is not recommended

that Essential Oils be taken orally,

baths and massage of the abdomen both can help intestinal problems such as diarrhoea, indigestion and constipaton. Also inhalation of oils affects the digestive system indirectly because the molecules of Essential Oils are carried to the circulation.  

immune support

Immune Support

Essential oils have bactericidal 

and viral properties and they can 

help prevent and treat infectious illness. Useful oils are stimulating the lymphatic system  to preventatively strengthen the body's own defences or to treat particular conditions, like the build-up of cellulite and water retention. 

womans health

Womens Health

Essential oils are very useful for

treating problems associated

with menstrual well-being, pregnancy and menopause. Some oils having an affinity for general strengthening effect. Other oils contain plant hormones which mimic the corresponding human hormones. 

​

Sleep and Energy

sleep and energy

Recent research shows that the

properties of many oils

correspond to the tradionally held views. Some were found to have a sedative effect for nervous tension, stress and insomnia. Others are stimulants for convalescence, lack of strenth or nervous fatique. Nerve tonics are believed to strenthening the nervous system as a whole. 

Stress and Anxiety

stress and anxiety

There is no doubt that throughut

history Essential Oils have been

used for their power to influence the mind. It is today known, that oils that are breathed in to the nose are travelling directly into the limbic system, which means that scents can evoke an immediate and powerful response to emotional states like depression, anxiety and stress.

Safety Precautions

Aroma Therapy is a complement to modern medicine. Always follow your GP's and your therapist's guidelines. Use extra caution with any existing medical conditions, medications or allergies, if you are pregnant or breastfeed, or for children. Use oils as external remedies only and be aware of contra-indications.
