About the Ōtautahi studio
Chodyrexslozarin grew from late-night kōrero on porches around Sockburn: flatmates tired of negotiating one more episode, parents who wanted bedtime to feel kinder, and neighbours who missed hearing footsteps instead of notification pings.
What we actually build
We choreograph evening rituals that rely on light, sound, and touch already inside your whare. Programmes are documented on paper so you can adapt them when guests arrive or when someone works a night shift.
We do not diagnose conditions, measure brain chemistry, or position our sessions as therapy replacements. If you need clinical care, kōrero with your GP or a registered mental health practitioner first.
Te taiao
Weather honest, not dramatic
We name nor’west headaches, damp June flats in Lyttelton, and the way cricket on the radio competes with bedtime routines—then we design around those realities without blaming whānau.

How decisions get made here
Evidence-informed, not hype-driven
We read lighting research and sleep hygiene literature, then translate findings into plain steps. We avoid miracle language that would breach the Fair Trading Act 1986.
Local context
Christchurch winters, dry nor’westers, and shared rental layouts all change what feels realistic at nine pm. We test ideas with volunteers before publishing.
Transparent boundaries
If a request falls outside our facilitation skills, we say so and suggest other resources.
“We keep evenings slow on purpose. Speed belongs to the morning commute, not to the last hour before sleep.”
