Deep Rest X SELF_ ………and why these seasonal treatments are so special

The world has undoubtably changed. We are more connected than ever, there are more opportunities for creation and innovation than ever, we are able to work from anywhere and yet we are more stressed than ever, more unable to switch off and the scariest part is that, our bodies are adapting to assist us in this.

We are not designed to be ‘on’ all of the time.

Stress is our body's way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When we sense danger—whether it's real or imagined—our body's defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction or the “stress response.”

The stress response is the body's way of protecting us. When working properly, it helps us stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress, it saves our life—enabling extra strength to defend ourselves such as the reaction to slam on the brakes to avoid a car accident.

Stress can have other positive aspects, sometimes referred to as “eustress.” For example, it can help you rise us meet challenges such as keeping us on our toes during a presentation at work, sharpening our concentration when when driving etc.

But while not all stress is bad for us, beyond a certain point, it stops being helpful and starts to cause major damage. Stress that feels overwhelming can have a negative impact on our health, mood, productivity, relationships, and your quality of life and as skin therapists we see it impacting our clients skin more than ever before.

If you frequently find yourself feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, it’s time to take action to bring your nervous system back into balance. You can protect yourself—and improve how you think and feel—by learning how to recognize the signs and symptoms of chronic stress and taking steps to reduce its harmful effects. This is where our Deep Rest seasonal skin therapies come in.

Having daily, weekly and monthly rituals are key to assisting in the management of stress and overwhelm. Taking supplements, drinking water, daily walks, deep breathing, meditation - it all helps. We recognised the demand for a return to high touch therapies. Deep rest is our contribution to our clients lives through the provision of a ritual to help you to manage your stress, while also indulging in a skin pick me up.

Deep Rest is a 60 minute treatment that changes to meet your skins needs each season. This Autumn we kick off with a  high touch treatment designed to decrease stress, boost wellbeing and ground you in the present moment
