If the holiday season has you feeling a little frazzled, you are not alone. December tends to arrive with parties, pressure, long to-do lists and not quite enough hours in the day. Which is why Nudi Point’s 'Relax' Pure Essential Oil Blend (available in our December 2025 'Christmas Calm' Wellness Box) feels like such a comforting little companion. It is a pocket-sized moment of peace created by someone who genuinely lives and breathes the art of slowing down.
Nudi Point founder and owner Blair Coates has built his entire brand on a simple idea. Nature heals. Growing up in Takahue in Northland, Blair learned early on that the most powerful resets happen outdoors. His childhood swimming hole on the family property became the inspiration for the name Nudi Point, a symbol of authenticity, release and pure connection with the natural world. That connection still guides everything he creates.
When we asked Blair how he stays calm during the festive chaos, his answer was beautifully straightforward. He tries to spend as much time in nature as possible. Even a walk with the dog in the park or a quick swim in the ocean helps him ground himself. For Blair, switching off at the end of the year almost always happens in the garden, beside a river or simply sitting and watching birds. He says these quiet moments slow down the monkey mind and support his mental wellbeing more than anything else.
That same philosophy runs through the formula behind 'Relax'. Blair wanted to create something that genuinely worked for the stress and anxiety that so many of us carry. Essential oils have been used for centuries to calm the body and mind, so he blended a generous selection together to cover all the bases. 'Relax' supports stress relief, better sleep and a sense of balance when life gets overwhelming. Blair even shared a personal family story. His dad struggled with lifelong insomnia, yet now keeps a bottle of 'Relax' beside the bed. If he wakes during the night, he rolls it under his nose a few times and falls straight back to sleep.
Now, that's a 'Relax' hack for sure.
