A Beautiful Space for You

April is my favourite month! Not only is it my birthday, but it’s also incredibly beautiful outside. With blossoms everywhere, clear blue skies, and the first warmer days I feel energized and primed for spring cleaning, change and growth. How about you- what do you love MOST about April?

In the esthetics studio (and at home), I like to get my myself ready for the spring and summer seasons. This means it’s time for a skin reset. A facial and thorough exfoliation gets rid of the old, tired winter vibe and a change in skin cream fosters a new glow. Of course, no spring skin care ritual is complete without the beneficial elements of drinking enough water, regular walks in the fresh air, and ensuring I am laughing in some way each day.

You'll love the Spring Renewal Specials - created to make spring even better for you.

Notes from Glenda

Do you ever resist change and growth? It's something I run into everyday. This feels frustrating to me because I know I need change and growth and I want it because ruts are the worst.

What I didn't realize until recently is that resistance forwards the process to growth and change, but only when we let it tell us what its purpose is and what it needs.

This unlocking of what resistance is and how it is trying to keep us safe releases wisdom and healing. In essence, I resist because I am scared of what it might mean to change or grow or I am uncomfortable with the uncertainty that comes with it.

I am learning to let resistance be my ally. How do I let it be my ally? I listen to the resistance and let it speak as my compassionate friend. I turn to my body (my soma) using a technique called focusing and let my ‘I’ attend to the ‘it’. Focusing is an intentional practice that lets you connect to your inner wisdom.

By giving space to and speaking to what those fears or discomfort might be, you can unlock solutions to roadblocks and honour your inner ally.

All we have to do when we feel the resistance is stop and ask what it is noticing and what it needs. Then respectfully, lovingly listen and attend to the resistance. Changes and growth will be easier and faster- which feels so freeing!

Product of the Month(and why I ❤️ it)

​Dermazyme. If you are wanting to have skin that glows and you want your moisturizer and serums to be even more effective then exfoliation is key! I count exfoliation as one of the four basic and essential skin care steps.

The Dermazyme exfoliant duo is a professional grade product for at home use. Don't be intimidated, it's easy to use! Dermazyme is an ultra gentle treatment suitable for all skin types and conditions, even the most sensitive or inflamed. You’ll love the radiant look and lifting effect this exfoliant gives your skin. Exfoliate 1-2x per week for optimal results.
