KooShoo
KOOSHOO is the word that embodies what we‘re all about. It means
feeling good in Norfuk, a language spoken exclusively by the people of Norfolk Island, a small island in the South Pacific. As it happens. our co-founder Rachel is a proud Norfolk Islander.
Rachel has since moved to Canada though Norfolk lsland remains a constant in our hearts (
see the family home built by Rachel and Leiloni's father on Norfolk). Back on Norfolk
kooshoo is used in many different woys though perhaps the most common is as part of a greeting:
Wut a way you? (Hi, how are you?)
Kooshoo, you? (feeling good, yourself?)
Here at KOOSHOO HQ we have built our business around a simple question: "does this feel kooshoo?" In other words, every time we make a decision we ask ourselves "is this in support of the greater good?" To see how this questioning has influenced our production line decisions, check out the "The KOOSHOO Way of Business" diagram below.
As for using the word kooshoo, next time someone asks how you're doing, try answering with 'kooshoo', and if you‘re not already feeling kooshoo, you will find after saying it enough times you will start to feel its positive effects! If anything like us, you may just find yourself with a new favorite word.
