Raw facial - a feast for your skin.

If you haven't yet come to see me for the Raw Vegan Face Treatment at Woman Divine  now is the time. This treatment feels the nicest in the hot summer months. Fresh produce is abundant and I get to pick the best organic fruit and veggies for your skin.
I love creating these from scratch, fresh, live and fully custom tailored treatments, for few reasons.
#1 Live
 I work with a commercial organic skin care line all year round. But every time I do one of the raw treatments, I experience a noticeable difference in the energetic quality of the material I am working with.
The fresh fruit, raw honey, almond meal, matcha powder or freshly pressed wheat grass, vibrate with life and are very dynamic in their nature. Simply said, they are alive. It is a wonderful thing to experience as a therapist but it is also amazing to see simple fresh food interact with your skin and produce a desired outcome.
#2  Fun
It is like cooking and I love cooking. I get to be creative when I am formulating a fresh mask. Compare that to squeezing a tube of ready stuff.  It is fun for you too because you get to experience a  new approach to skin care and you walk out inspired to use food as beauty remedies at home.

#3 Simple 
If you already know me, you are well aware that I like my beauty care simple. I like it uncomplicated, easy and unpretentious. I share my bohemian approach to beauty and skin care with others because I know that once you embrace it, life in a female body becomes freer, easier and simpler;  in a good way.

#4 Pure 

You can not go any purer than this. You can eat it; all of it.  And it tastes great:))
I buy the produce locally as much as I can. Of course, it is not always possible to find all the ingredients locally, but I do my best.
Everything I use is organic and most of it is prepared on the spot. Some of the herbal preparations must be done ahead of time so I get them ready in the morning. 

#5 Harmony
At my core, this beautiful, nature-driven, planet-respecting body and skin supporting way of beauty care makes complete sense... It surely works in Harmony with Nature.

Acne treatment - a fresh start, the holistic way.

-->

Over the last 18 years of my skin care practice I have met many clients who are searching for an effective acne treatment. Many are discouraged, by having tried (without success) endless skin care products, which promised blemish free skin. I have worked with women who have spent years on antibiotics to treat acne.  Not only did they experience the numerous side effects of the drugs but the acne would return as soon as the prescription was stopped. The most frustrating thing for me to witness has been sensitive skin acne, burning with redness from the use of harsh, drying products which should not even be on the market never mind on sensitive skin; actually on any skin.

-->

It is obvious that acne treatment is a frustrating journey for many. It is often so because we search for solutions in the wrong places.

I promise if you have been suffering with chronic acne there is much more to the treatment than a tube of ‘miraculous cream'.  You can buy an entire department of skin care products and you will never be satisfied with the results.  Your search for the perfect solution in a bottle becomes endless; you will always need to buy more product because the last one you have used felt like ‘IT’ just for a while. Then you feel disappointed yet again. It is exhausting, tough on your wallet and very discouraging.

-->

But your body is a very wise ‘machine’ and there is light at the end of the tunnel! You can use your acne experience as an opportunity to reexamine your overall health, lifestyle and diet. Those committed to change see results beyond just clear skin. Try more energy, vitality and mental clarity along with a fresh glow.

The solution lies in recognizing your skin as a part of a whole system. Treating it as separate from the rest of you (body and mind) makes no more sense that telling a guy who had a heart attack to take a pill and keep on smoking.

Diet is #1 in a holistic acne treatment but do you know what to eat?

You maybe eating ‘good’ food but it may be not so good for you.  We are all different and looking at your constitutional makeup needs to be a starting point.  What do you thrive on and what is a burden for your body?

-->

Lifestyle comes next.

Do you sleep enough? Do you exercise? What about stress levels?  Obvious right? But how are you doing in these aspects of your life?

Hygiene.

It is surprising how many women still go to bed without washing their face.

-->

Listen to your thoughts.

What is the song that plays in your head over and over again?

Do you obsess about every new pimple you get? Do you constantly check yourself in the mirror or touch your face in search for imperfections?

Do you like the way you look? 
Do you think of your skin problem as a call for self-compassion and self-love?

OR

Do you hate what you see? 
Do you feel ugly and unattractive? 

How does having acne affect your life?

How much time do you spend thinking about it every day?  

How does it affect relationships in your life including the one with yourself?

How does it affect your mood?

What about your self-esteem and self-confidence?

It is clear that acne treatment must go far beyond external applications of product just as acne's affect on YOU goes far beyond the look of your skin.
