Ha! So after I made this video showing everything in a spiral-bound. We unanimously decided that using three three-ring binders (like we used to) works better. But all the information is there and I am still so proud!

Summer 2019 Revision Session

Dearest Apprentices,

Thank you for such a lovely day. It is always great when new apprentices get to meet long time practitioners for interesting conversations and a chance to improve our knowledge base and skills! And it was especially awesome that Barbara (who apprenticed 3 years ago and helped out so much with our worksheets and binders) was able to join us all the way from California.

Enjoy having the summer off. Please check the schedule as I have added dates through November. Only 5 appear on the calendar at a time, so if you want further dates scroll down below on the same page.

Be well,
​Emma & Molly

The Alignment Technique - Practice Day

Sarah Demonstrates The Alignment Technique.
What a great day! Thank you to everyone who showed up. If you missed it, here's a recap:

1. Everyone got a chance to get hands on with The Alignment Technique.
2. Those who had not had a chance before got to feel how light yet precise the touch of the wands should be.
3. We handed out these lovely cheat sheets for you to keep by your side while "practicing"

We also pulled out the triage cots and came up with some pretty cool protocols for on-the-go and quickie facials using very limited supplies.

If you missed this practice day, you can download and print the cheat sheet from the "Techniques" page in the Educational Hub. If you want some one-on-one tutoring with Emma, Sarah, or Jen over the summer, don't hesitate to reach out.
Reminder: You may purchase another set of wands for $48 per set.

It was so nice to see everyone at the Apprentice Circle. We had a great day. Here are a few highlights:
Apprentice Circle: Pinpointed Integrated Therapies (2nd phase Therapies)
5/28/2019 12:30-4:30 pm
These specialized services allow the client to “choose the results”, while you, the Holistic Aesthetician, chooses the exact methods. This is that class that puts everything together for you so that you may utilize all of the tools you have (learned though us or not) to provide authentic, lasting, results from the very first time you meet with a client.
​
  • Integrative Therapy for Reducing Redness and Reactivity
  • Integrative Therapy to Improve the Appearance of Old Scars
  • Maintaining Radiance at Every Age

Hello Holistic Beauties!
 I made a couple videos for a client that I though you would appreciate, so I am throwing them up here for you to look at and think about and play with.

Enjoy for now. We can talk more about any of this at our next meeting. I'll be adding an Apprentice Circle about Harmony Zone Toning Movements to the schedule for September as well as a Friday Night Community Class for the General Public.

May 2019 Apprentice Circle Discussion: Most Important Job

5/7/2019

0 Comments

 
Your most important job is to ensure that your client has a good experience. 
  • Learn how to describe the wonderful services we offer as well as the benefits of each one. Make the right amount of the right promises and will make people comfortable and glad to be here.
  • Practice giving them just enough so as to not overwhelm them and let them come to certain conclusions on their own. Don’t push it until they are ready to hear it.
  • Learn how to perform each part of the facial along with the tasks surrounding the service efficiently and properly. Getting your timing right comes only with diligent practice. 
Encourage them to choose the best level for themselves:
  • "No matter what level you choose, we will tailor the facial to your particular needs. In a level 1, we will focus on getting your skin to a place where it functions well on its own. A level 2, will add an integrative therapy pinpointed to your specific needs (name the needs that they have mentioned prior or that you may see) and a level 3 adds a body-mind alignment to the previous levels which makes it even more relaxing and resonates with the nervous system."
  • Don't think that offering a higher-level facial is “upselling” something they don’t need or think that it is wrong or a scam. Most clients want the best experience for the money and for many, that does indeed mean getting the best or most expensive. Let them have that. Let them make the investment in themselves.
  • If they choose a level 1 when you think that they need more (such as an integrative therapy), do the parts that will most benefit them, but keep it within the scope and specific time frame of the service they are paying for.
There will inevitably be mistakes as you being your practice. What makes it easier in our process is that we don’t FORCE anything, so if you make a “mistake” there is no harm done, you just may not see the results as quickly as if you took a more straight forward path.
  • Keep a pleasant outward appearance, even when the client is in an unpleasant mood or has a meltdown. Address their skin concerns can be emotional and trying for many people. So can letting go of past beliefs that they may have been clinging to.
  • Have firm boundaries. Particularly needy clients may try to use you as a way to get therapeutic needs met that we don’t and cannot provide.
  • Compassion for yourself and others is key here.

The Sacred Geometry of BYATM

4/19/2019

I took my elder son to the Guggenheim today to see the Hilma Af Klint Exhibit and it was incredible. We immediately went home and started drawing (of course).

It made me want to write a little about how so much of the product, in both formulation and in use is steeped in Sacred Geometry and the love of pure life force energy.

Here's a link to that the musing:



In the meantime, PLEASE try to get yourself to the exhibit before it has left. It is incredible just being in that space and soaking in all it has to offer us!

Enjoy your week off!
