Holistic Skin Care as Self Care

UNPOPULAR OPINION:

Facials are THE most relaxing form of self care...

I have given several thousands of massages, Ayurvedic treatments, reiki sessions and more in my 20+ years of being a bodyworker.... and I feel confident saying that I see clients go deeper into rest + digest with facials and shirodhara that anything else I offer.

The face, head, neck and shoulders hold and carry over 1/3 of the energetic points that are on the body. These points, called marma points in Ayurveda, access the bodies life force energy. When they are blocked by tension, accumulation of pollutants, energetic debris and too much sensory stimulation, they do not allow in the life force energy that the universe is giving to us.

This means we can feel heavy, lethargic, tired, appear to age faster, have insomnia, digestive upsets, feel stressed and more...

Facials not only work to bio hack our skins cellular renewal process as we age (more on this to come), they refresh and reset our nervous system to offset stress and rest + digest this wild human experience.

The what and why of holistic skincare.....

The skin is our largest organ and has the ability to help balance our internal physiology based on how we care for it.. or not...

Both the endocrine system with its transmitters, glands and hormones and the nervous system with its receptors, signals and currents, are deeply affected by the receptors that lie in the layers of the skin.

In Shaka Vansiya Ayurveda, I learned that the layers of skin represent all of the layers/dhatus of the body, meaning the lymph, blood, fat, muscle, nervous, skeletal and reproductive layers can be influenced by regular and consistent skin care.

In my approach to holistic skin care, I rely on my knowledge of Ayurveda, the physiology of the skin, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, energy medicine and more, to look at the body as a whole and see where the imbalances may lie that are causing your skin to react.

I then use clean skin care products, plants, aromas, specific touch and energy work to bring your bodies innate wisdom to the surface to nourish, nurture and soothe from the inside out.

These facials are not just for vanity, although who doesn't feel more at home in their skin when you glow?!

These facials are WHOLE BODY BALANCE and BLISS.
