A Sensory Experience

    How To Create A Holistic Treatment Room For Your Skincare Practice.  My top 5 treatment room essentials to create a sensory experience.  I will definitely be giving you some tangible tips in this post, but if I had to widdle it down to just One Word, it would be…..intention.  

     The attention to intention is carefully considered in every aspect of the clients experience, from the moment they walk through the doors to the second they exit your space.  I want everyone to feel transported and sacred.  

     The holistic experience is that of a sensory experience ( sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell)   

Sight

A Serene Environment

  How To Create A Sensory Experience with Sight in your Holistic Skincare Treatment Room.

  .

There have been countless studies on how colour affects a person’s emotional and physical state.  In fact color has a psychological study called Colour Psychology.  

     Famous artists have been using colour to invoke a mood and shift emotions.  Dating back even further to Ancient Egypt, they made use of rooms filled with sunlight and  colored glasses for therapeutic purposes.

     High end day spas know this well and hire interior designers to paint and furnish the treatment rooms with relaxation and serenity in mind. 

Smell

Smell Like A High End Day Spa

How To Create A Sensory Experience with Smell in your Holistic Skincare Treatment Room

     

 Smell like a high end holistic day spa.   Meaning all the good, clean, and non-toxic fragrance.  If you’re a fan of burning candles make sure to use candles with clean burning wicks and non-toxic fragrance oils. 

     Here is a list of some of my favorite clean , “ Spa Candles”.

• Sweet Water Decor Spa Day Candle
• Paddywax Candles – Hygge Collection ( Rosewood & Patchouli )
• Homesick Scented Candle- Beach Cottage
• Boheme – Notting Hill

     Many of us have a sensitivity to smoke or have a fear of leaving a candle burning at the end of work day. ( yes, I have driven all the way back to the studio due to a sudden fear of “ did I blow out the candle?!?!” )

     Not to worry, essential oil diffusers are a very popular option for creating an overall vibe.  Let’s not forget the wellness benefits of aromatherapy as well.  Here are a few of my go-to treatment room oil blends

  Something to keep in mind if you include facials in your holistic practice.  Many of my facial products have incredible, natural aromas, so adding more smells could be too much.  In that case,  have the candles or essential oil diffuser in the lobby only.  

Taste

Stay Hydrated

 How To Create A Sensory Experience with Taste in your Holistic Skincare Treatment Room.

     

If you’ve ever had a massage or a facial you’ve most likely heard the therapist push drinking water.  I preach staying hydrated with my clients. Not only for lymphatic detox, but for the overall health and vitality of the skin. 

     Herbal teas are another layer to a holistic wellness service.  I’m obsessed with blending beautiful, healing, and energetic herbs together to create Love frequency in a cup. 

     Here are a few of my favorite blends.  Feel free to make at home and enjoy that self-love moment.  A side note, make sure to source your herbs well.  Look for organic, ethical and local, if you can.  Read this article I posted on Shopping Small Herbal Farms for more information on the “Why”.

Touch

Healing Hands

 How To Create A Sensory Experience with Touch in your Holistic Skincare Treatment Room

      Working in the beauty and wellness industry, we are not short of tools.  You’ve got a concern and I bet there is a tool for that.  We love gadgets and gizmos of plenty. (name that movie).  But to be perfectly honest, a great therapist is already equipped with the right tools.

     A holistic practitioner’s tools of the trade are : intuition, intention and healing hands.  Truly, those three in tandem make all the difference. 

     You could certainly stop there,  but there are a few tools that I use all the time and are tried and true.  

Here are a few of My Favorite Things

• Guasha tool
• Facial Cups
• Facial Reflexology Tool
• Massage Medium/Oil
• Ear Seeds
