Re-introduction time!

If you’re new here..welcome. If we’ve been connected for a while, I’m so grateful you’re still here.

I’m Kristen ✨, a holistic esthetician, and founder of Woodside Holistic Studio — a space where skincare meets mind/body/soul connection.

With 10+ years of experience and a multitude of ongoing trainings, there is a wealth of knowledge right here in Guelph!🫶🏻

I work with women who are ready to slow down, reconnect with their skin, and embrace beauty as a sacred practice. Think: intuitive facials, plants as skin medicine and deep nourishment — inside and out.

This work isn’t about “fixing” your skin. It’s about coming home to it.

If you’re craving more ritual, more glow, and more self-trust… you’re in the right place.

Thanks for being here, showing up with me, I can’t wait to see you soon! 💫

With love,
Kristen xx

It’s that time of year, the spring equinox where the day is equal to the night. The light has victoriously matched the dark.

I feel this shift deeply, like being reunited with an old friend, excited for the possibilities of the unknown.

Here I am, present with you all on this platform and representing Woodside Holistic like never before!

It feels like a re-awakening, mild metamorphosis, a time to shake things up a bit.

I can’t wait for what’s next. Love you all. 💫✨

Every line, every mark, every change—our skin tells the story of our strength, resilience, and all that we’ve experienced as women.

From the journey of motherhood to the natural passage of time, our skin reflects everything we’ve been through. I’ve learned to love my post-partum skin, embracing it with the help of natural plant botanicals that support and nourish it along the way.

Being a woman means embracing the beauty in every stage, every shift, and celebrating the power we carry.

We are so looking forward to our self-care workshop this coming Saturday which happens to also be on International Women’s Day!

No better way to celebrate this day than by being surrounded by our beautiful Woodside community of women!

Here’s to loving ourselves fully, inside and out. 🩷🌹🧖‍♀️

SKIN FACT 🐍

We are in a number 9 year, and it just so happens to be the year of the snake! Which is all about transformations, shedding layers, endings, completion, and evolving past our current circumstances. Something we’re all embracing here at Woodside!

Just like a snake sheds its old skin to reveal something fresh and new, our skin does the same! ✨

Did you know we shed millions of skin cells every day? Up to 30,000 approximately. And every 28 days our new skin completely transforms anew! This natural process helps to keep our skin glowing and healthy, as the body constantly regenerates new layers.

A great way to support your skin’s natural regenerative process is to use a natural exfoliant once a week. We love to use honey as a mask, as it’s a gentle, soothing, hydrating enzymatic exfoliant with tones of medicinal anti-bacterial and anti-microbial benefits! This also supports inflammation and acne prone skin.

So, embrace your skin’s transformation—just like a snake, you’re always evolving! 🐍✨🌀

This image is everything. And it sums up what most of my 2024 looked like.

Mare it through another year of being a full time mamma + doing my absolute best to keep Woodside Holistic Studio up and running!

Thank you to all who supported and believed when I wanted to throw in the towel. 2024 was probably one of the most challenging years full stop. Worldwide.

Love you all, and I know we all say this but here it goes again…I can’t wait to see what 2025 brings!

Much love,
Kristen xx

Welcoming in the seasonal shifts.

Working alongside Mother Nature as we descend into late autumn.

Every season has an ending and beginning, just like us humans, just the like the plants and animals that live in harmony with us.

Our skin too has these cyclical changes, beginnings and endings. It’s a mirror of our internal and external landscape, and how we nourish and find love for this landscape at every stage is the key to skin health and longevity.

We are here to guide you!

It’s been a couple of weeks since the May Lindstrom re-launch event at the Detox Market in Toronto.

It was by divine timing and an incredible person and friend who connected May and I for this event.

Can you imagine the excitement and disbelief when I get a DM from May one evening asking if I would work alongside her as her esthetician?! Of course it was a YESSSSSSS and then it was a “how in the heck will I make this work with a 4 month attached to my breasts!”

It took my whole family including my mum to stay with me in Toronto for 3 days. And in between clients I would breastfeed then right back to the treatment room. It was a whirlwind full stop…full of excitement, curiosity, learning, adapting, and making some beautiful connections along the way.

Would I do it all over again? ABSOLUTELY

Thank you May for being the most real and authentic human, who loves surrounding yourself with all things beautiful. I so admire you and am grateful to have worked alongside you. 🖤

Another thank you to the Detox Market for lending us your beautiful treatment room and making the experience magical for everyone.

Oh, and thannnnnnk you to .toronto for the amazing customer service, coffee and steak (which I ate like a champ before heading home).

Now, it’s so great to be back in my own space starting fresh and ready to bring you all some incredible treatments + skincare.

Love you xx

BENEFITS OF A SEASONAL FACIAL 🍂🌬️🌊🥀

As the seasons change, so do we…
And so does our skin!!

• A seasonal facial supports skin regeneration. For adults, skin cells regenerate every 28-50 days depending on age so it’s great to support that process with facial massage, hydrating masks, and our high quality plant-based skincare at least every few months.

• Seasonal treatments include gentle exfoliation with honey and our Woodside exfoliant to remove dead skin cells that accumulate over the summer, promoting a brighter complexion.

• Nourish your skin! Ingredients rich in vitamins and antioxidants, like the ones found in our Laurel Radiance Fruit Compounds, help nourish and revitalize the skin.

• With cooler weather on the horizon, and less humidity in the air means we’ll slowly start to need a bit more moisture and hydration. Coming in for a treatment can ensure your skin gets that added hydration boost!

• Soothe Your Sensitivity ~ As skin may become more sensitive in cooler weather, our holistic facials use custom calming ingredients like calendula and chamomile to reduce irritation.

• Enhance Circulation and Relieve Stress with in depth facial massage to improve blood flow, which will help restore a healthy glow.

• The change of seasons is always a good time for a regular cleansing of all kinds; mind, body, spirit and soul so giving yourself the chance to receive a nourishing skincare treatment can renew your energy and ability to embrace the changes of the season!

Incorporating a fall holistic facial can lead to healthier, more resilient skin during the transitional season. 💫🌾🌝

First day of JK ya’ll!! 🌈🥹

I can’t believe my daughter is already off to school and starting her next chapter at big kid school!

I remember when I was pregnant with her, at home, working in the treatment room and talking to my clients about everything mom /baby.

Now here we are, 4 years later, 2 kiddos, brick and motor small biz, building a community…life full and I’m so grateful!

Looking forward to what this next year brings!
Love to all 💕
