Learn to love the skin you're in.

MINDFUL PRACTICE

This is the space in which to dive a little deeper into who you are and embrace all that is you.
Selfcare goes more than skin deep. It requires letting go of the noise and tuning in to listen to what your body needs to feed your soul. Only when we are one with ourselves, will our life flow with ease. The care we give to ourselves then fills us and over and enables us to care for others.
So breathe in and take this time to move into the rhythm of your body and mind.

MASSAGE PRACTICE TIPS

Daily practice of this massage will stimulate collagen production, accentuating your natural bone structure and provide you with an overall lifted appearance.
Unlike the drainage massage, the facelift massage uses more pressure to reach deeper layers under the surface of your skin, releasing muscles tightness and sculpting to accentuate your natural bone structure. The result is stimulated collagen within the skin, the softening of aging lines, and better tone and tightness enhancing the appearance of your skin.

During this massage, your skin may appear pink or flushed — this is due to increased circulation and stimulation. The pressure used on the skin should not cause any pain or irritation.

Mindful facelift massage love story

My mother, who is in her late 60’s, continues to practice this ritual daily. No matter how hard or busy the day gets, she never misses her exercise, supplements, water intake and daily beauty rituals and that includes this lifting massage technique.

“Aging is a part of a life process. No one can avoid it, but feeling your best as you age is a choice you can make for yourself” This was taught to me by my Yai (means grandmother in Thai).

Watching the women that came before me, the fundamentals were clear – the way we feel is more significant than our age in years.

I admit there are times when I have gotten wrapped up in my life and lost my way, resulting in a lack of self-connection which leads to noise, loss of focus and a dimming of the fire within.

The time and space I create for myself is my refuge. It is my way to lean inward. A reminder to reconnect with my own body, to listen to my instincts and appreciate and embrace all that I am.

You deserve whatever it takes to fulfill and connect with your inner soul to keep the fire lit. Who you are and how you want to live is entirely in your hands.

“always hold your own body with the love it deserves – unconditionally.”
