Summer feels amazing for the soul, but it can be tough on your skin. Here’s why:

☀️ UV rays break down collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep your skin firm and youthful.

🌊 Chlorine, salt water, and sweat strip away natural lipids, leading to dehydration and a weakened barrier.

😓 Heat and humidity increase sebum (oil) production, which can trap bacteria and cause breakouts.

🌤️ Sun exposure triggers melanocytes (pigment-producing cells), which deepens dark spots and uneven tone.

That’s where a professional facial comes in. After a treatment, you’ll notice immediate results because facials are designed to:

💧 Replenish hydration at a cellular level, restoring plumpness and softness.

🧼 Clear congestion by removing buildup that daily cleansing can’t reach.

🌿 Strengthen your barrier with nourishing ingredients, so skin can better defend itself.

✨ Brighten your complexion by lifting away dull, damaged cells and calming inflammation.

💆 Support long-term health by stimulating circulation and collagen renewal.

🧘 Reduce stress levels, which lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) that accelerates aging and inflammation.

🌸 Activate your body’s rest-and-digest state, calming the nervous system, supporting skin repair, and giving your whole body a chance to restore.

Think of it as pressing your mindbody “reset” button. You'll leave glowing, and feeling more balanced, resilient, and supported from the inside out.

✨ End of summer, back-to-school and back-to-routines✨
This week we’re exploring Drishti, sanskrit for point of focus. On the mat, it’s where we place our gaze to steady our body + mind. Off the mat, it’s how we choose to direct our attention as life gets busy again.

What we focus on expands. 💫 Where will you place your drishti this week?

We'll see you on the mat via Zoom on Tuesday for yin.

Celebrated my 43rd birthday this week and I keep saying: “I’m having so much fun!”

This past year, I’ve grown into deeper peace, presence, and freedom—reaping the benefits of all the healing work I’ve done, including the work we've done together.

Three milestones that shaped this journey:
1️⃣ Graduating Anchored Coaching Certification — a year free of flashbacks & PTSD symptoms.
2️⃣ Lovingly letting go of ma*****na 💫
3️⃣ Returning to Sweet Balance with renewed love and appreciation ❤️

Golden nugget: I’m so grateful to be fully present.

This week’s practice/theme: Finding gratitude in the present moment. 🌸

xo,
Chanelle

Your mental health is not just “how you feel”, it’s a skill set.
The better your tools, the more equipped you are to lovingly manage your thoughts, emotions, and actions… especially when life gets messy.

Inside this program, you’ll learn:

✨ How to reframe thoughts and emotions toward resilience & positivity
✨ Sleep, nutrition, and movement strategies for balance
✨ Creative ways to harness humor, gratitude, and joy

In a world that feels heavy, this program is a dose of healing medicine.
