Beauty pros develop wellbeing course to protect fellow professionals
A new online wellness course developed specifically to support beauty and hair professionals in caring for their own bodies, whilst extending the longevity of their careers, has launched.
The Balanced Beauty Pro addresses the common chronic tension, fatigue, poor posture, pain and discomfort that may be experienced whilst working in our industry.
The course has been developed by Heather Hughes, a Somatic Movement educator with 13 years' experience in the beauty industry, alongside her sister Tiffany Hughes, who has worked as a lash artist for seven years.
Through a form of Somatic Movement that works with the nervous system to reduce tension and pain to deliver long-term results, a unique series of exercises address common tension patterns to bring balance back to the body.
In addition to at-home exercises delivered online, the programme includes education on postural awareness, the nervous system connection and ergonomics.
“As a lash artist, I have seen and experienced first-hand the physical demands of beauty services. We learn the skills to offer our services, but we are rarely taught how to maintain and support our bodies, even though our bodies are vital to our careers.”
Co-founder Heather Hughes adds:
“After completion, students will have a daily corrective routine they can use for life to safeguard their careers and protect their bodies, all for the price of a few massages. We want to empower professionals to value their bodies and learn how to care for themselves so they can continue doing the job they love with ease and comfort for as long as possible.”
