The Class That Changed the Way I Practice Esthetics

In this episode of the Esthetician Edit Podcast, I share my experience attending the Somatic Face Method® training with Wild Lily Organics, a three-day immersive experience that transformed the way I think about esthetics, beauty, and what it truly means to be a practitioner. I went expecting to learn a new facial technique, but I left with something far more valuable: a deeper understanding of presence, embodiment, intentional touch, and the role our own nervous system plays in the experience we create for our clients. If you're an esthetician who wants to create treatments that go beyond technique and leave clients feeling truly seen, this conversation is for you.
