Integrative Skin Therapy

Welcome to Pamper Pod

Where skin speaks, and I listen.

Tucked away in a quiet, private studio near Ohoka, just 15 minutes from Christchurch, Pamper Pod is more than a treatment space — it’s a sanctuary. A peaceful, one-on-one experience created just for you, where the outside world fades and your skin takes centre stage.

Whether you’re seeking a moment to breathe and reconnect through a restorative facial, or you’re ready to dive deep into results-driven skin therapy, you’ll find personalised, expert care in a calming, distraction-free space.

No noise. No rush. Just time, intention, and skin solutions that make sense.

My Mission at Pamper Pod

At Pamper Pod, my mission is simple:
To honour what your skin is trying to say — and respectfully provide the personalised support it needs to thrive. The skin doesn’t need to be ‘traumatised’ to achieve results.

I’m Caryn Hardy, and for over 30 years I’ve been helping clients reconnect with their skin through results-driven, evidence-based treatments delivered with integrity, care, and purpose. My mission is grounded in the belief that skin health is not just about surface-level beauty — it’s about understanding the complex relationship between our skin, our hormones, and our overall wellbeing.

Through a one-client-at-a-time approach in a peaceful, private setting, I create a safe space where you can slow down, be seen, and receive the attention you and your skin truly deserves.

I’m here to take the guesswork out of skincare by:

  • Decoding what your skin is communicating

  • Addressing concerns at a cellular level, not just covering up the symptom

  • Supporting women, especially those navigating hormonal shifts like menopause, with targeted, hormone-conscious care

  • Offering treatments and programmes that are grounded in science and formulated to actually ‘care’ for your skin — not skincare trends or industry noise

Above all, my mission is to empower you to feel confident, calm, and in control of your skin again — because you deserve to love the skin you’re in.

Let’s help your skin tell you what it needs to function optimally for YOU! Because skin health isn’t just about looking good — it’s about feeling empowered in the skin you’re in. I’m here to guide you with integrity, intuition, and evidence-backed care.

A Final Note on Safety & Standards in New Zealand

Unfortunately, in New Zealand, registration in the beauty industry isn’t compulsory (which means there no requirement to have completed any training prior to performing a treatment on a client!)— but I believe you deserve better.

That’s why I’m a FULL member of the New Zealand Association of Registered Beauty Professionals, a status that recognises verified qualifications, requires adherence to professional ethics, commitment to ongoing education and liability insurance – which of course comes with its own professional compliance requirements.

You can rest easy knowing you’re in qualified, caring, and experienced hands.

What Clients Say…..

WOW !!! In my twenty years of having facials, I have NEVER had such a knowlegable person talk me through and show me what my products are doing/not doing for my skin!!! !!!!!!

I love that when my sensitive skin ‘freaks-out’ I know that you’ll be able to fix it. You always seem to know exactly what to do to calm things down.

Last night I had Dermal Needling, OMG my face feels great. This is my second treatment and I can see that this has made all the difference to my face. Highly recommend this treatment.
