THE TALKING FACIAL

Is there Well Being in your Workplace? Well Hello 'Talking Facial'......

​

How the ‘Talking Facial’ became a thing……..

What is it you may wonder? Well, it’s something that I do within Groom every day in my Studio and it all started from my very first Facial treatment. I realised that not only do I love a good chat, but so do my gorgeous Clients! It came so naturally, as soon as a Client walked into my room, we were like old friends reconnecting.  Quite quickly the term ‘Talking Facial’ was being mentioned.  I would get told by Clients that when recalling their recent visit to Groom to Friends they would say things like ‘it’s basically a Talking Facial as it’s a Facial where we chat about anything and everything and I leave feeling so positive afterwards’. This is how it started and more of how it has developed below.

​

With Mental Health being at an all-time high, especially after the Lockdowns, hearing Clients thoughts first hand made me feel compelled to try to help in some way. So I started studying CBT and the more I studied the more I realised how much this fitted in perfectly with what I was already doing with the ‘Talking Facial’.  Only now, not only can we chat but I can help you with a plan! The best thing about CBT is that it is a positive therapy.  It is not regression in any way, it is not prying or judgemental either, it’s simply just a different way of looking at things, a new perspective.  I can help train you to be your own counsellor, to lean on yourself and know that you are strong enough to deal with what life throws at you.  Pair this new learnt information and way of looking at your issues with a relaxing facial and you truly will be on cloud 9.

A little more about the CBT side of things…

​CBT is short for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, in short it focuses on current issues and works on the connection between thoughts and feelings and how they can influence behaviours. CBT helps deal with General Anxieties, OCD, Negative Thinking, Feelings and Self-Beliefs, Grief, Health & Social Anxiety, Relationships, Fear, Panic, Over thinking, Analysing  and so much more.  This is a therapy that can help in just one session, as we can chat about a current situation, work it out and rethink before it becomes an issue in work life or home life. So, in short, by working with CBT, I will develop a strategy which you can then implement to make positive changes into your life, there really is no downside to inviting a CBT conversation into everyday life. 

A little more about the Facial…..

As a Facialist I am lucky enough to call West End Musical Theatre Stars, Singers, Actresses & Actor’s, Reality TV personalities, Influencers, Teachers, PA’s, Taxi Drivers, Recruitment Consultants, the list is endless for whose faces I look after. 

​

I have developed a Facial for your workplace suitable for Men & Women. It is calming and relaxing. There will be zero downtime so applying makeup straight away, if so desired will be fine.  Every product in my kit has been trialled by myself.  I use brands such as Eve Lom, Dr Murad, Bio Effects, Dermalogica, Kiehls, Crème de lar Mar among others. I have many examples of my Facial work on my Instagram groom.world

So, what will the ‘Talking Facial’ bring to your workplace?.....

In the aftermath of Covid a lot of companies have been noticing that getting teams back into the office hasn’t been plain-sailing.  With this in mind I would like to offer my services to help restore wellbeing in the workplace with my ‘Talking Facial’ as within each session I will combine working on your face and your mental wellbeing.  

Before starting up Groom, I worked in the City in Investment Banks, I always thought it was quite normal to work crazy hours in front of a screen hardly talking to anyone! We talk about Bankers/Traders ‘Burning out’ in their early 30’s like that’s quite normal, when it clearly is not! There has been more talk the last couple of years about Employee wellbeing but it got me to thinking, if the service of a ‘Talking Facial’ was at my Bank I would have lapped that up, the chance to talk openly and let off some steam, then go back to my desk in a better head space.  I know in a survey by Nuffield Health £8.4 Billion a year is lost due to absentee’s with poor mental health. What is positive is that 20% of organisations have increased their efforts in improving Employee wellbeing in the work place and going forward I really hope this % increases.   It has become a goal of mine to make the 'Talking Facial' be a normal thing in office culture, bringing my super comfy bed, my bag of facial goodies and my CBT  knowledge to help raise the positive mind set within the work force.

​How does and work and how much does it cost?.......

I am happy to work around your office hours.  I would suggest 45 minute sessions per person but again, am happy to work with what you think works best for your staff.
