Mindful Intentions

World Mental Health Day 🤍

Your wellbeing and mental health aren’t linear.

Finding who and what supports you matters.

Your relationship with yourself matters. How you speak to yourself, how you treat yourself, and how you show up for yourself, especially on the days when things feel a little harder.

After nine years of working one to one with clients, I created The Self Studio from the belief that treatments are so much more than what we see in the mirror.

I believe they can be a tool for true self connection, creating space to pause, reconnect with yourself and enhance your overall wellbeing.

Over the years, I’ve seen how much those moments of time, care and connection can mean. The conversations, the laughter, the vulnerability and the feeling of being able to simply show up as you are.

For me, this is what wellbeing is really about. Recognising the connection between mind, body, spirit and understanding that how we feel within ourselves is just as important as how we look on the outside.

A little reminder today to check in with yourself and those around you. To be mindful of the relationship you have with yourself and to recognise the people and things that help you feel more connected, supported and like yourself.

Mind. Body. Spirit. Skin.

Of course, treatments and self care practices aren’t a fix for everything. If you’re struggling with your mental health, reaching out to a GP, therapist or other qualified professional can be an important step towards getting the support you need. You don’t have to navigate difficult times alone, and asking for help matters.

Thankful always for you trusting The Self Studio with your wellbeing

MEET KATY 👋🏼
Owner & therapist at The Self Studio.

Why did you create Self Studio?
After years working as a therapist in a salon, I noticed everyone I treated wanted the same thing, to feel good, to feel seen, heard, and truly understood. So I created a space away from the usual salon hustle and bustle, somewhere for real connection, with others and with yourself.

What does a typical week look like for you?
Treatments Tuesday to Saturday, with training and admin woven in too. Some days I’ll head off to industry events with other therapists, and every so often I get involved in helping create events myself. I’m a sociable person by nature, and running an independent salon can feel a bit like a hamster wheel sometimes, so I love having those different sides of work to enjoy alongside it.

What treatment lights you up the most?
Facials and massage together. It’s my natural flare, working the body and mind at once.

What might surprise people about you?
That I constantly feel like I’m winging it when it comes to business. My heart lies in the treatment room, not behind a spreadsheet, the business side of Self Studio is really just a byproduct of the passion of my treatments.

What do you want a client to feel?
Welcomed, comfortable, and in safe hands. Whether you’re after skincare advice and support through the different seasons your skin goes through, or you just fancy a one off massage to switch off for an hour, we’re here for both. You’ll leave feeling relaxed, uplifted, and like you’ve found your people.

To everyone who has supported, and continues to support, Self Studio, thank you, because without our existing clients, none of this would be possible. And to any new clients, I can’t wait to meet and treat you.

What do you love most about the job?
Meeting different people every day, building a connection with clients, and that feeling when they leave relaxed.

What’s your favourite thing about joining The Self Studio?
The atmosphere, it’s calming and welcoming. After years in multiple salons, being somewhere small and intimate makes every treatment feel personal & it’s lovely getting to know all of the clients.

What do you say to clients who feel nervous?
I take the time to explain the treatment and answer any questions, so they leave feeling reassured.

Favourite treatment and product right now?
A facial I can fully switch off! and the Environ Hydra Intense cleansing lotion my skin feels so hydrated after it! & Espa bergamot & jasmin body lotion!

How do you wind down?
Cosy on the sofa with a good series, or tea in the garden if the weather’s nice makes me really happy, a walk with my family

What is self care to you?
Simple things that make you happy
