October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this year those words feel very different to me.
After everything I’ve gone through over the past year, I understand in a much more personal way how deeply this journey can affect us. It isn’t only the surgeries, appointments, treatments or recovery. There is so much happening mentally, physically and emotionally, and you really can’t separate one from the other.
There were times when I looked at myself and simply didn’t feel like myself. Even doing little things for myself could feel difficult. And I think that’s something we don’t always talk about enough.
As women, we still want to feel cared for. We want to feel beautiful and feminine. We want to feel loved, heard and seen, especially during a time when so much can feel unfamiliar and scary.
Our skin can change too. It may become drier, dehydrated, more reactive, or simply feel very different from what we knew before. And sometimes you just don’t know where to begin.
I want women going through this, and women who have already been through it, to know that if you ever need help understanding what your skin needs, you can reach out to me. Even if you’re not ready for a treatment and simply want some guidance, I’m here.
I also offer a Restorative Oncology Facial using Osmosis products and protocols specifically created and approved for use during oncology care. Everything is kept gentle and adapted to what your skin can comfortably handle at that time, with the focus on hydration, comfort and supporting the skin barrier.
But more than anything, I want this to be a reminder that taking care of yourself is still allowed. Wanting to feel beautiful is still allowed. Wanting to feel feminine, cared for and a little more like yourself is still allowed.
And sometimes being cared for, even for just a little while, can mean more than we realize. 💕🎀
