In focus: Honey Tapping Honey tapping is an ancient ritual that has been used for centuries to strengthen the connective tissues and to brighten and firm the skin. This technique involves applying honey to your face, followed by a massage that uses a rolling, kneading, and patting motion to encourage incredible movement to help the lymph flow quicker to the nearest lymph node, speeding up detoxification. The lymphatic drainage will aid in accelerating healing on and beneath the skins surface…. IS MANUKA HONEY THE BEST HONEY FOR HONEY TAPPING? In short, yes- here’s why… Manuka Honey is solely crafted from Mänuka flowers (making it a monofloral honey). This exceptional honey is distinguished by its deep golden hue and high concentration of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is also favorably valued for its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Studies show that Mānuka Honey has a higher pH and sugar content than other varieties of honey, which may contribute to its antibacterial activity. Recognized for its antimicrobial and wound-healing properties. Mänuka Honey is now used clinically as a topical treatment for wound infections, and scientific evidence for Manuka Honey’s effectiveness in treating wounds and other skin conditions has been extensively evaluated and recommended. Our favourite honey product in the studio is the ACTIVIST Mānuka Honey mask! Can be used as a cleanser, mask or spot treatment! @activistmanuka

〰️ photosynthesis: the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. 🌿 During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds. Much like plants, our cells work in a similar way needing the correct amount of micronutrients, light and water to optimise cellular health and repair skin barrier, the key is finding the balance between these three components for the skins ecosystem to function efficiently and effectively. Our team are available for discovery consults to curate your individual experience in repairing and enhancing your skin barrier and wellbeing… Get in touch with studio to learn more.

“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect” — Alice Walker Our relationship with the natural environment can be understood through the concept of biophilia and the biophilia hypothesis. This term is defined as humans’ innate need to affiliate with other life such as plants and animals. This essentially means that humans have a desire to be near nature… Our philosophy at Kondōu is to always reconnect you with nature through the art of touch, plant botanicals and allowing your nervous system to pause so you are able to re channel your mindset to thinking about you, even if it’s just a little while every moment of doing something for yourself is an improvement… your cells are healing, your mind is flourishing and your overall wellbeing is improving. This is the Kondōu way… 🌿

In focus: Skin Icing Icing our skin can provide an array of skin benefits from reducing inflammation , redness and puffiness to preventing premature ageing. It stimulates the lymphatic system which aids in detoxification of toxins, other benefits include decreasing pore size, controlling bacteria in the skin and providing firming effects to the elasticity and skin tissues. How should I ice my skin? There are a few different ways you can ice your skin… 1. Ice rollers and globes- delivers the sought after chill and allows you to apply gentle pressure for contouring benefits 2. Ice cube- easily accessible but they melt fast and become a bit messy with water dripping all over the place benefit is they prevent you from over icing, which can than cause damage in the skin barrier. 3. Frozen spoon- another great inexpensive easy to use option, the shape of the spoon is perfect for addressing puffy under eye bags, another benefit it heats up quickly preventing over icing from occurring… How Should You Prep Your Skin For Icing? Regardless of what you ice with, the best way to prep your skin remains the same. In fact, the first step is consistent with how you should begin almost every skincare routine, you’ll cleanse your face, then to make the experience smooth and glide well apply your favourite facial oil or moisturiser. This is helpful as it reduces friction and provides less grab on the skin. A recommended time for icing is no longer then 15 minutes and to be constantly moving your chosen ice friend around the skin at all times this prevents over icing and damage to the skin barrier, if using a cooling wand/globes you can provide a little extra pressure to the skin to contour and take it that bit deeper… the idea is to have fun creating your own icing sequence and enjoy the benefits as they come!

〰️Lipolaser pad treatment Lipolaser pads emit low-level laser energy, which penetrates the skin to target and liquefy fat cells, aiding in body sculpting and inch loss. Benefits include targeted fat reduction, improved skin tone, and a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. You can add lipolaser pads onto any of our lymphatic and sculpt treatments, or you receive 5 sessions complimentary with our 10 session Brazilian lymph packages.

〰️ the balance of oil and water content plays a crucial role in optimising skin health… If you were to pour oil into a glass of water the two don’t mix, but you see the oil creates a film on the surface level sealing in the water and preventing it from evaporating… this is the same scenario for skin health…. Utilising a balanced facial oil on the skin not only assists the microbiome but locks in the hydration preventing the skin from becoming dehydrated and lacking of lustre… dehydrated thirsty skin then leads to fines lines and in long run deeper lines within the fascia… You can see the snowball effect an imbalance of water and oil in the skin can have and how we can best prevent premature ageing and impaired skin barriers… Combine a good facial oil with a deep facial massage and wah la that’s the secret formula to beautiful ageless skin… 😉

We didn’t give up, (even though there was numerous times we nearly did) we kept getting up and showing up and what an incredible thing it is now to look back on the journey… Tomorrow we reach 1 week in our new space and I’m so thankful to everyone that has showed their love and support for our passion and dream to bring you a beautiful studio of wellness… — to pause, rest and restore… 🌿 It’s been an overwhelming week of excitement for business life and scared-ness for family life so putting this here to continue to remind me of all the hard work and determination we put into the making of this space… taking a moment to appreciate and be thankful for where we are 🙏🏻

Featured here is the stomach sequence - The Brazilian lymph treatment includes the whole body.. If you have any questions about these methods, we’d love to hear from you!

—What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger… The making of Kondōu was most definitely the most sacrificial thing for my family - so many long hours, days-nights, all to make the vision come to life… The most challenging part was to constantly split myself into two.. wanting to be 100% present with my children but having to give the business all my energy to get to where we are now… We fell apart, we picked ourselves up and then fell apart again over and over… there were so many raw emotions, that you don’t always want to show but in the real transparency of life, I believe it shows our children persistency, strength and dedication… to not give up and always stand up to what you believe in, what your heart desires and what you put your strength into - will in time, have its rewards… A huge thank you to a few special people in my life that have held me up through the journey… Firstly, my husband Jake, what an incredible man, dedicating every waking hour to be here, building, taking all my demands. Jake practically moved in here to bring it all together in a short 6 weeks… (you can come home now haha) To my parents and parent in laws for your dedication to the space & my children - thank you for your patience and love. @kelli_reginatto & her family for supporting us in the build. @amyhunter_ for holding the fort at Sara Wells Skin and holding me up when I wanted to fall… Of course, our beautiful community - all the encouragement and support - we literally couldn’t have made this happen without you!! 🥹🥹🥹 So, here we are! Kondōu has been born and we are overwhelmed with the love it has already received… our vision has always been to provide you a place to escape reality, to go on a journey of wellness and experience your better self, to nourish and to nurture… it doesn’t stop here we are excited to share what is all to come!

Ｓｋｉｎ Ｃｙｃｌｉｎｇ〰️ Skin cycling is a hot topic of late, but what actually is it ? To put simply it’s changing it up so the skin can’t become immune to one thing and you are able to treat multiple skin concerns effectively, therefore the microbiome and skin cells are constantly at work… by keeping everything interesting the skin aims to achieve more. Do you ever feel like your skin has stopped improving after a while of using a product that used to work wonders? Then maybe skin cycling is for you! It is important to keep in mind correct product usage is a must and it is recommended to have a consultation with a skin expert before commencing skin cycling… We provide full consultations to our guests before commencing any skin journey with us to ensure each treatment and recommended product is going to work on a cellular level not just the surface.

Just over 4 years ago we birthed Sara Wells Skin! a place where the internal and external align, combining nutritional therapies with holistic facial treatments that not only made you feel good but provided healing through a physical, emotional and internal state. My first treatment room was a small room at the back of a health food store in a shopping centre it was the size of a store room! From there we grew within another room @cryoplus_centralcoast then given the opportunity to continue out of Cryoplus building our own room downstairs in 2021! Here our passion continued to flourish and our name continued to expand opening up opportunities to work with some amazing people and incredible brands, including our first press review with the powerhouse team @gritty_pretty , our team here has grown and expanded above my expectations and proud would be an understatement for how this business has developed over the years… It is with great excitement to officially announce that we are working on our dream space! I had this vision of my dream space when I first started, now 4 years later we are stepping into that space! (Literally 😂) Can’t wait to be opening the new doors to you all soon! 🤍🤍🤍

IMPROVING TEXTURED SKIN~ Uneven skin texture is a common issue we see in the studio often… the main goal through our treatments is to recreate the skins surface from within so with every cellular turnover skin just gets better and better, helping you feel confident in the skin you are in, without any make up or filters… Here’s some tips to help improve texturised skin~ • Use a chemical exfoliant • Apply a vitamin C serum • Use sunscreen daily • Apply a skin identical retinol of an evening • Increase water intake • Incorporate treatments such as microneedling and facial peels • Moisturise daily Image @hollow.sun

CONCIOUS GIFT GIVING 〰️ This Christmas i invite you to be conscious of what we give, a conversation I always have every Christmas with my children… what is the true meaning of Christmas? My daughter replies this year, with “it’s about Love” I think from time to time we often lose ourselves in the need to give a materialistic item, but as I grow older I find myself wanting something that is becoming more and more scarce…time… Gift the experience this Christmas, something that someone can attach a memory to, something that will last forever… the gift of love and time is the greatest gift of all… If you too, want to give the gift of love and time we have gift vouchers available! 🎄🎁✨

CLEANSING〰️ An important and often overlooked step to a facial routine, probably the most important step in keeping your skin looking radiant and healthy. Here’s why? ~ Prepares the barrier in aiding following products and treatments to work properly. ~ Helps to maintain optimal pore size. ~ Encourages skin hydration and prevents production of excess oils… ~ Removes not only make up (if any) but the daily exposure to bacteria, pollutants, viruses, dirt and old (dead) skin cells. We believe a good cleanse at the end of each day is essential in improving skin regeneration… Analogy: You wouldn’t clean a white wall with a dirty sponge, now think of you’re skin as a sponge at the end of each day, exposed to an excessive amount of environmental pollution… Image: @shop_baina

THE FASCIA FACIAL〰️ A treatment that brings life, vitality and nutrients to the skin by way of increased circulation… Releasing blockages and tension in the muscles and skin leads to the softening of deep lines, restoring hydration and plumpness, melting away worry and strain from the face. Just like a foam roller to the face, or an iron smoothing out the creases, the benefits of this work resonate with a feeling of well-being throughout the nervous system, as well as being seen and felt on the face, much like bodywork… it’s a remedial practice…

Have you booked your spot at our upcoming SCULPT & CENTER workshop? Why we self massage - “Lymphatic drainage helps increase our energy levels, boost the immune system with regulating hormones, helps clear up acne and helps with a deeper nights sleep. The lymphatic system is our body’s ‘sewerage system’ which collects all the waste products that leak out of our blood vessels and bacteria that enters into our body through our skin to maintain the fluid levels of our body’s tissues. When the lymphatic is not working properly, the tissues swell and the stagnate fluid becomes congested, appearing puffy or swollen. The lymph system does not have a pump which is why lymphatic drainage massage is so incredible because the fluid is manually pumped/ pushed out into the lymph nodes to then be filtered back through the circulatory, digestive or urinary systems.” - @forme_bysophiedulac Book via the link in our bio 🤍

MOULDING SCULPTING RESHAPING The healing power of touch ~ the best tools you can use are the hands. With every treatment comes an opening & closing ritual of heavy, nurturing hands circling around the body to bring a sense of grounding and balance. image @bythebe

Body water declines as you age, but it will remain above 50 percent for most, if not all, of your lifetime. With the decline comes a need to increase, water is an essential part of not only skin health but holds many benefits to overall well-being… The key to purify your skin is to increase your water intake to aid in the flushing of toxins and hydrating the cells from within, resulting in a plump and radiant appearance. 📷 @feaverish

We love reading clients reviews like this, the less is more approach is really what good skin is all about… an over complicated routine generally means an over complicated result… Skin is intelligent, it thrives on simplicity, we just have to feed it the right balance for it to function at its finest… Thank you to every single one of you that writes us a review! We are so appreciative of the support you give🙏🏻

Self Care~ A constant reminder to pause… Finding time to care for yourself can be challenging, I often find I have to remind myself to adopt the pace of slow more often as life progressively gets busier… The importance of taking a moment to breathe and turn inward, brings great benefits… a happy body occurs when the nervous system is balanced… A few things to help you turn inward and serve the nervous system well are~ Nature~ the best form of medicine (alongside laughter) connecting back to nature is connecting back to our roots, our creation, what we are made of, a bush walk among the trees or picnic outside will lift the spirit. Breath~ just taking a moment to focus on our breathing, feeling our diaphragm lift and fall, allowing our inhales and exhales to be lengthened to capacity, to circulate and provide adequate oxygen to our tissues… Grounding~ Get those shoes off, feet on the earth… You are a bioelectrical being living on an electrical planet. Your body operates electrically so grounding with the earth reduces stress, decreases inflammation and improves circulation.

Increase your radiance with lymphatic drainage - our new treatment coming soon is designed to build circulation, blood flow and feed nutrients back to the skin so you can glow from the inside out… ✨

The human face possesses over two dozen individual muscles on each side - upwards of 30, depending on how they are counted. The facial muscles are striated muscles that link the skin of the face to the bone of the skull to perform the expression of emotions. Our tissues hold our issues and our emotions lie within the facial fascia, long term emotions lead to premature ageing and expression lines begin to set in… Our deep fascia work is all about peeling back the layers, and releasing the muscles from tension… so that oxygen can flow more freely optimising skin health and slowing the ageing process, during this process the lymphatic system is opened up so toxins can be efficiently drained, resulting in a reduction of inflammation and a brighter complexion. This treatment is training the muscles to function rather then letting them become lazy with age and is becoming the new fave at SWS, it’s like taking a rolling pin to the face… Are you ready to let go?

A common question we get asked all the time is what collagen should I be taking for skin health? When choosing a suitable collagen we recommend a marine based collagen, wild caught is preferable, deep sea even better… But why marine not bovine? Marine collagen is classified as type 1 and 3, and is of a finer particle making it higher in absorption for finer tissues such as skin, hair and nails it promotes optimal skin health and elasticity, and has be shown to improve fine lines, wrinkles and restore hydration to the tissues. Bovine collage is classified at type 2 and would provide most benefit to joint and gut health as the particles are larger and can absorb efficiently into larger junctions. Tip: Combining your collagen powder with vitamin c further oxygenates the collagen making it travel further and activating its benefits! Our fave marine collagen powder in clinic is @gelproaustralia And is now available to purchase!

Finding a good sunscreen can be hard but is most vital to prevent the skin from premature ageing and sun induced pigmentation, a number one product to slow the ageing process and maintain youthfulness. A few tips when choosing an optimal sun protection- ☼ Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, which guards against both UVA and UVB rays. Consider your skin type and any sensitivities when selecting a formula. ☼ Check the ingredients for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for physical sun protection. ☼ Apply a Vitamin C Serum in the morning underneath sunscreen to help neutralise free radicals caused by radiation and environmental factors. Vitamin C has also been known to enhance the effects of sunscreen, reduce oxidative stress and even skin tone. Application: Apply generously and evenly to all exposed skin. Don't forget areas like ears, neck, and the back of hands. Chat with our team to find the perfect sun protection for you.

Exfoliating your face is an essential step in a skincare routine, but it's crucial to do it properly and at the right times to avoid weakening skin barrier and causing damage to your skin. Here are some guidelines on when to exfoliate and when not to exfoliate.. When to exfoliate ~ Regular exfoliation- Generally, it's recommended to only exfoliate your face 1-3 times a week, depending on your skin type and the exfoliating product you use. Evening exfoliation- It's often best to exfoliate at night because your skin goes through a natural regeneration process while you sleep. Before applying specific products - Exfoliating can help improve the absorption of other skincare products, such as serums and moisturizers.. When not to exfoliate~ Open wounds or active breakouts - Avoid exfoliating areas with open wounds, cuts, or active acne breakouts. Exfoliating such areas can irritate the skin, worsen the condition, or cause infection. Sunburned or irritated skin- Exfoliating can further aggravate sunburned or irritated skin, potentially damaging the skin's barrier. Over-exfoliation or sensitive skin- If you have sensitive skin or if you've recently used strong exfoliating treatments, avoid additional exfoliation to prevent over-exfoliation. Right before a big event- Refrain from exfoliating the day before a significant event as your skin might become sensitive or red. It's best to exfoliate a couple of days before to allow your skin to recover fully 🤍

Adding greens to your diet in anyway you can is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and can provide many benefits to overall health and wellness, a few reasons why include: Nutrient rich: Green vegetables are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promote skin health. They provide a wide array of nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, folate, and more, which are vital for maintaining skin elasticity, fighting free radicals, and reducing inflammation. Antioxidant power: Greens are abundant in antioxidants that combat oxidative stress caused by environmental factors like pollution, UV radiation, and toxins. Antioxidants protect your skin from damage and help prevent premature aging by neutralizing free radicals that can break down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Anti-inflammatory properties: Many green vegetables possess anti-inflammatory properties that can benefit the skin. Chronic inflammation can contribute to various skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. The nutrients found in greens can help reduce inflammation, leading to calmer, healthier skin. Detoxification: Some greens, such as kale, broccoli, and spinach, contain compounds that support the body's natural detoxification processes. By aiding in the removal of toxins from the body, this can help purify your skin, leaving it looking clearer and more radiant.

When the air becomes drier, our skin can quickly become parched, often described as "dry." It's crucial to prioritise hydration every day, regardless of the season but my go to winter saviour is our No.24 oil!

Let there be light 💡 LED treatments ~ Think of photosynthesis, plants are made up of cells and so are humans… plants need light to oxygenate and transport nutrients through their tissues so that they can be healthy and viable… well that’s the same concept with humans and their skin cells, we need light at the correct wave length especially if the skin is compromised and needing an extra boost in energy… After one Dermalux session the cellular energy is charged up and functioning 200% faster then the normal rate, accelerating repair and renewal, strengthening and rebuilding the skin from within… with each session spaced accordingly to the individuals skin concern the skin cells just get better with every cellular turnover… What colour LED is right for you? 💙 Blue 415NM- Destroys acne bacteria, minimises redness, reduces inflammation, perfect for acne prone skin. ❤️ Red 633NM- Increases collagen production, restores cell function, provides essential energy for cellular renewal, nutrition and removal of waste material, increases hydration for an immediate glow up!

There are many benefits to working with the neck and chest, every treatment should always include these areas to be able to deliver comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing the signs of ageing and cellular damage. Benefits to why we work beyond the face include… ~ Evened complexion and reduced discolouration or hyperpigmentation. ~ Smoother skin texture, resulting in a softer and supple feel. ~ Improved hydration and moisture balance. ~ Reduced fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. ~ Enhanced lymphatic drainage, reducing fluid retention and puffiness. ~ Relaxation and stress relief by targeting tension, to release and promote deep relaxation.

The fascia approach — Optimal fascia release in the context of improving fine lines, wrinkles, and releasing tension in the face can be achieved through two main methods: Method 1: Opening the Lymphatic System and Releasing Tension The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in removing waste and toxins from tissues, including the face. By promoting lymphatic drainage and reducing fluid retention, the facial fascia can be relieved of tension and inflammation. Techniques like facial massage, myofascial release, and gua sha are often used to stimulate the lymphatic system, encouraging better fluid circulation and waste removal. Method 2: Increasing Circulation and Blood Flow Improved blood flow to the facial tissues is essential for supplying vital nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells. This helps nourish the skin and aids in its repair and rejuvenation. Techniques that boost circulation, such as facial exercises and certain massage movements, can support this process and contribute to a healthier, more vibrant complexion. Deep fascia massage is known to achieve facial rejuvenation by releasing tension for a more soft and youthful appearance. It is also often referred to as a “non surgical face lift”

The fascia can hold onto emotional memories and traumas. This concept is often encapsulated in the phrase "our tissues hold our issues." Emotional experiences, especially those associated with trauma, can leave imprints within the fascial network. These imprints can contribute to the development of chronic pain, physical discomfort, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Releasing and resolving these emotional imprints within the fascia through various therapeutic approaches, such as deep tissue massage, lymphatic drainage and acupressure can lead to profound emotional and physical healing. Most of our clients say they “feel emotional” during or after our treatments or a sense of “deep relaxation” this is because of the tension release that happens when we work with your fascia… it’s a whole body experience.

Working deeply with the fascia ~ Fascia is a three-dimensional web-like structure that surrounds and permeates every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ in our body. It consists of collagen fibers embedded in a gel-like substance, providing support, protection, and flexibility to our tissues. However, fascia is not just a passive structural element; it is also highly responsive to our emotions. We incorporate deep therapeutic techniques and lymphatic drainage in our latest Kobido treatment, working with the fascia to provide deep relaxation and emotional and physical healing. Get in touch with our clinic for more information on our latest treatment ✨

The skin around the eyes is delicate and tends to be 10 times thinner than the rest of the face, making it more prone to dryness, fine lines, and other signs of aging. Eye creams are specially formulated to address these concerns and provide targeted care. Here are some potential benefits of applying eye cream around the eye area: • Hydration: Eye creams typically contain moisturizing ingredients that can help hydrate the delicate skin around the eyes, reducing dryness and preventing moisture loss. This can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. • Reduced puffiness: Some eye creams contain ingredients like caffeine or cooling agents that can help reduce puffiness and under-eye bags, giving the eyes a refreshed appearance. • Dark circle reduction: Certain eye creams may contain ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, or peptides, which can help diminish the appearance of dark circles by improving blood circulation and skin tone in the under-eye area. • Improved firmness and elasticity: Eye creams often contain ingredients such as collagen, elastin, or peptides that can promote the production of collagen and elastin fibers, leading to improved skin firmness and elasticity. • Protection: Eye creams may contain antioxidants or ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties that can help protect the delicate eye area from environmental damage, such as sun exposure or pollution.

Radiant skin starts from within… A balanced diet, correct supplementation and lifestyle choices is the true key to a healthy skin microbiome. The skin is our protective layer that houses the rest of us, it’s a defence force and tells us what’s happening internally by its appearance and condition… there are so many factors that affect our skin… You can prevent imbalance by feeding the skin with functional nutrients and herbs that work to balance, restore and repair barrier. Beauty Blend is our favourite tonic for nourishing the skin from within, improving detoxification and nourishing the blood to elevate circulation… this delivers essential nutrients to enhance complexion. A radiant glow that starts from within.

They provide a valuable tool to combat the effects of cold and dry weather, ensuring that your skin remains nourished, hydrated, and protected throughout the winter season.

Reflexology ~ a complementary therapy in all of our facial treatments! This involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears to promote relaxation and stimulate healing responses in other parts of the body. While it is not considered a substitute for medical treatment, many people find it helpful in reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and supporting overall well-being. Benefits often associated with reflexology- • Stress reduction: Reflexology can help induce a state of deep relaxation, which can reduce stress and tension in the body. By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, reflexology promotes a sense of calm and relaxation. • Improved circulation: The pressure applied during reflexology helps to improve blood flow and circulation throughout the body. This can enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells and organs, promoting overall health and vitality. • Pain relief: Reflexology is believed to stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals produced by the body, targeting specific reflex points the aim to alleviate pain and discomfort in various areas of the body. • Enhanced energy levels; Reflexology is thought to rebalance the body's energy pathways, promoting a sense of increased vitality and energy. It may help alleviate feelings of fatigue and boost overall energy levels. • Relaxation and improved sleep; Reflexology can have a calming effect on the nervous system, helping to induce relaxation and improve sleep quality.

The link between inflammation & ageing skin • Inflammaging is a term used to describe premature ageing skin, such as the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin. Inflammation caused by stress, poor diet and an unbalanced nervous system can lead to break down of collagen and elastin, the proteins that give our skin structure and elasticity. How to help prevent this? It’s essential to focus on reducing inflammation, managing stress and stabilising blood sugar levels. We suggest a antioxidant-rich diet, such as leafy greens, berries, wild-caught fatty fish, and prioritising a healthy lifestyle, practicing mindfulness and nourishing the nervous system. Our expert team take a comprehensive approach to skincare, looking beyond the surface level addressing any underlying imbalances as our holistic approach to healing. We work with all different skin types and ages, focusing on treatments that are truly best for you and your skin type. Take a leap towards healthier, more radiant skin from the inside out 🤍

Benefits of going deep in facial massage~ The main purpose of a good facial massage is to break up the tension in the face to allow the blood and circulation to flow more freely… This enables the tissues to flush toxins more effectively, remain plump and hydrated and to reduce inflammation and puffiness. The most common reason for congested and dull skin is lack of blood flow due to sluggish lymphatic points within the facial matrix! What makes a good facial massage? ◦ Lymphatic detox techniques that run along the lymphatic channels working to rid the face of inflammation and build up. This opens everything up, so when it comes to working the tissues there is a clear drainage pathway. ◦ Adequate pressure following the natural flow of the facial muscles, working in an upward direction, lifting and sculpting to tone the muscle back to its original form… (this is also known as “facial yoga”) a big firm stretch for the face. Just like a gym workout our facial muscles need work too if we want them to stay youthful, resilient and viable… it’s the secret to ageing gracefully… so go on grab some facial oil and get in there!

Pt 1. (continued in comments): Our new campaign is releasing so soon - this is something I have been holding on to for a while now, just waiting for the right moment… mostly because I didn’t want to it to just be another post on the feed! It has become apart of my self awareness journey and I want to share my thoughts on the importance of self awareness~ So, here’s a piece of my story… When I filmed this back in February I was in the true rat race of my business and life, so much that I completely burnt my body out and with out realising… It came out of nowhere… shortly after I ended up in hospital twice in 10 days with my nervous system in over drive, daily panic attacks, struggling to breathe, foggy headed, I couldn’t work, I couldn’t stand, I had full body convulsions and complete full body exhaustion… It took me until this state to realise that I had definitely pushed my body too far for too long… I was burning the candle at both ends… holding space for others, filming projects, photoshoots, meetings, trainings, hosting events plus all the background work in the business, and taking care of my two babies… there was no down time, no time to reset or check in with myself… My body had to physically shut down to make me stop… and my goodness it was scary but the wake up call has been welcomed, because it has put a lot into perspective… how I run my business, how I want to parent, how important it is to have a little bit of slow in the mix… The moral of the story is don’t wait until you break, learn the art of listening to your body, to check in with yourself before you are on your back up stores… and to be able to press the pause button once and a while… for some this can be the most difficult thing to do, myself included… but something I still continue to work on daily. I’m sure most business mummas can relate, how the work life balance is incredibly hard, you have one side where the business is thriving because your passionate and you love what you do, but the other side is the immense guilt you have for having to focus instead of sitting on the floor for hours building block towers and playing peekaboo behind a wall just show them your still here…
