We start with why

O-Studio was founded by Tim Bateman, a former professional rugby player for the Crusaders and captain of the Māori All Blacks, whose journey in wellness began through supporting his wife Laura after her multiple sclerosis diagnosis. 

Discovering the profound benefits of Flotation Therapy while in Singapore, Tim and Laura opened Cloud 9 Float Club in Christchurch. Their passion for holistic well-being inspired them to then create O-Studio, a fully equipped wellness space where individuals can build resilience and connect in a supportive environment.

For former Olympian and professional hockey player Brooke Hayde, wellness has been a lifelong pursuit. While navigating the demands of elite sport, Brooke developed a strong commitment to mental and physical health. 

With the support of her husband Cam Hayde, also a former professional hockey player, they have embarked on their journey of bringing O-Studio to Hamilton. For them, O-Studio is more than a wellness studio; it’s their contribution to a healthier, more connected Hamilton.
