Facial Steaming

Facial Steaming


Facial Steaming is an ancient and sacred practice that nourishes us from the inside out.

When we commit ourselves to a weekly facial steaming, we are touching upon rhythms, rituals, and softly claiming our importance.

On more deeper levels, our commitment to this endeavor gives rise to the way in which we want the outside world to treat us. How does this happen? We are interconnected and the actions (or inactions) that we take in our personal lives literally reveals to others our values, boundaries, and desires. The benefits of choosing to make ourselves a priority greatly matters.

Facial steaming is a time to nurture ourselves, come back to ourselves — and beautifully claim our importance.

When the herbs and flowers come together they produces powerful flower essences that heal, restores, and nourish. Flower essences “work on the body’s subtle energy fields and have the ability to stimulate the body’s innate self-healing ability.” source instantaneously creates an noticeable shift in our mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. The beautiful herbs and flowers are filled with enough spirit to heal us. Our skin becomes more radiant and glowing. Steaming also helps us gently touch upon the more intimate layers of love (self-love).

It is an invitation to pause, breathe, and merge into the present moment.
