I have had the opportunity to share my career choices with Metta Massage & Yoga Clinic through this staff interview and would love to share with my clients & readers...
So what makes me a different beauty care professional and what makes Metta different than other spa's?
Interviewed by Melanie Younger at Metta Massage & Yoga Clinic
1. What life experience(s) led you to pursue studying and practicing esthetics?
I always enjoyed sharing my positive energy with others growing up by being a 'touchy' kid, and then discovered myself through beauty and confidence! Therefore, I wanted to share my energy with others in a beneficial way to make others feel great about themselves ! So why not combine two things I liked most and make a career out of it! Which is why I love making people feel beautiful inside and out in hopes we all have the confidence to love ourselves in no matter shape or form we come in!
2. If you weren't working as an esthetician and spa practitioner, what do you think you would you be doing?
If I wasn't into Esthetics in particular right now , I would see myself en route to personality TV! I always love to share my charisma and personality with others so I'd be a male version of Ellen!
3. What is your favorite holistic self-care practice right now & why?
My favourite holistic practise right now would have to be yoga and meditation. I really enjoy taking any free time and investing it in working my flexibility and breathing. I am a big fan of connecting with my soul and dedicating some time to it daily to find my inner peace/goal setting.
4. What is your favorite treatment to offer clients the experience of right now & why?
My favourite service to offer right now is my customized organic facials because I love to make everyone feel special by allowing clients to understand a healthy skin care regimen that best suits their lifestyle/skin needs. We tend to forget that our skin is our largest organ and that we need to treat
it with lots of Tender love and care!
5. What do you feel is unique about the Natural Spa at Metta?
Integrating holistic values In our beauty services is what makes the natural spa different at Metta. Especially by having other holistic practises for clients to have available to them from yoga, registered massages, chiropractic care , and acupuncture!
6. How do you personally feel a natural spa services offer lifestyle benefits to clients post-treatment?
Taking care of ourselves with natural & organic remedies is the best way for us to connect with nature. Since we are natural beings, we are more receptive to natural ingredients and will feel better about ourselves. Especially with the toxins we deal with everyday I like to compensate by taking care of myself in natural ways!
7. If you had to use one adjective to describe the practice that you offer what would it be?
Unique. I like to connect with all my clients on an energy level and provide customized service. After all we are all different and unique and it's important to know that!
8. If you were speaking to someone first starting out with a skin care regimen what would you want them to know?
Everyone is concerned about putting their skin in a category of only being sensitive, dry or oily. It's important to understand that our skin changes through life experiences, weather and hormonal changes. So instead of categorizing your skin, work on overall balance by changing your lifestyle with your skin care regimen. So by doing so evaluate your lifestyle and start by drinking more water, getting more rest, eating a healthy diet... Then you can re-evaluate your skin conditions and customize your skin care routine to have that ideal Combination skin type!
9. What was the most impactful thing you learned from one of your teachers?
Staying in check with your soul by taking you time and it's ok to be I'm touch with your emotions! This has peaked my interest in energy work (reiki).
10. If you were going to offer yourself a treatment with any other practitioner at Metta, what treatment type and practitioner would you pick and why?
As I am in the process of trying all the services out at Metta, I yet have to peak my way into alternative Chinese medicine with Khoi! I don't know too much about alternative medicine which makes me want to learn more about my body!
