This Facial that will change your face and your life (inside and out)

January 31, 2016

Are you interested in a Transformative Mind Body Healing that takes place on a cellular level to restore deep wellness from within?

Sadie Adams, the founder of Take Care Center for Body Mind Regeneration (in downtown NYC and Venice Beach and she performs in-home treatments seasonally in the Hamptons and year round in Los Angeles county) has been sharing her insights about movement and consciousness for over 17 years. Her studies in anatomy at The School for Body-Mind Centering™ and in Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy at the Ayurvedic Institute have led her to focus on regenerative therapies. Sadie draws upon science, technology, ancient wisdom and intuitive awareness to support healing and increase human capacities. Her community of clients and practitioners greatly influence her work. She believes that conscious relationships, sensitivity and presence are essential in the process of healing and evolving.

I entered Sadie’s space with some understanding that this would not be your ordinary, run-of-the-mill facial experience, but I had no idea what I was in store for. The process, as I studied the micro-current machine was much more than words can explain. During the MICROCURRENT face and body treatments, a fine electrical current, strategically applied, enhances a healing environment and safely brings tissues to a younger, healthier function. The facial applications are sub sensory, while the gentle rhythmic patterns of microcurrent can be applied to the body to organize, strengthen and clarify the fluid membrane balance, tonifying tissue. The treatments are non-invasive, non-thermal and incredibly relaxing. They stimulate the body’s own natural healing process to help counter the effects of sun damage, aging and acne prone skin, without any pain or discomfort.

Sadie’s integrity and commitment to this work, along with her skillful guidance, allowed me to go deeply into a restorative savasana for both mind and body. I could feel my subtle body wake up to the re-organizing of cell tissue and a profound sense of peace come over me. Though she was working on the surface level of my skin, this process dove far down into sub layers, calling upon healing from within. More importantly, through this work, I felt ancient traumas (a vicious dog bite to my face, a head-on car collision, old “mean girl” slurs from high school) dissolve and move away from my consciousness. It’s as if I was releasing external forms of my understanding of “beauty” to allow a more authentic and truer sense to come forth. The imprint of being a Broadway star for so many years (and all the makeup that ensued) naturally fell away.

Sadie’s expertise in the treatment process unveils profound healing, as she holds the space with her wisdom and guidance to move through any obstacles that may be emotional, energetic, or unconscious. On top of all that, my skin looked smoother and more radiant than ever before! I recognized a true sense of wellbeing from my face that went beyond the surface landscape.

Sadie’s work is mindful and exquisite. She is a conscious facilitator and expert practitioner for inner beauty to rise forth when layers of blockages have been released. Like the evolution a snake undergoes in shedding her skin, this work deeply transforms one’s inner and outer self to True Beauty.

HydraFacial MD

November 1, 2015

HydraFacial MD®, voted as the #1 facial in New Beauty Magazine and spotted in Forbes, In Style, Marie Claire, and OK! magazine. The HydraFacial MD® is a multi-step in-house facial that deeply cleanses while delivering vital antioxidants to skin. Are you ever apprehensive to try a new facial? If so, we’re definitely on the same page. HydraFacial MD® takes the guess work out of trying a new facial. Have we mentioned it’s only 30 minutes with no downtime, discomfort or pain? It’s the treatment you can trust to get results.

Flavia tried one at Dr. John Diaz’s office (465 N Roxbury Dr in Beverly Hills) and had this to say:

Lorn-Nicole was extremely well-versed in the process and walked me through every step. I definitely got the feel that she truly believed in the product and the treatment process by how passionate she was about it!

She quickly yet efficiently identified my skin’s needs and got right to work. The HydraFacial’s steps were all very soothing and calming, which was exactly what my skin needed after a horrendous emotional breakout recently! All of the serums she used felt and smelled wonderful, and the heated red light felt especially therapeutic.

The 30 minute process makes it a nice pick-me-up skin cleaning which can fit in to a busy schedule that so many of us have these days – a plus for those who are weary of hitting the spa because of the typical time span ideals.

Lorn-Nicole was so friendly and sweet, and I felt comfortable talking to on a deeper level which is always nice in contrast to the usual platitudes we can find ourselves awkwardly engaging in at times during such encounters as these.

About Equitance

In Japan, clear, bright and luminous skin has been prized for centuries.

Founded in Japan, Equitance, a unique Sunstar brand, captures the essence of this approach with an integrated skin care line that was 18 years in the making. Sunstar was founded in Japan in 1932 and has established a global headquarters organization in Switzerland that serves Oral Care and Health & Beauty care professionals and consumers in 90 countries around the world.
