DIY skincare class

In this comprehensive class, food entrepreneur, wellness consultant, birth and postpartum doula, Laena McCarthy, will discuss healing traditions and practices to boost the body's natural resilience while protecting from stress and damage, with a focus on skincare.

The class will begin with an overview of what healthy self-care rituals look like, why taking care of your body is important, and how to heal and take care of your skin, body, and cycles using simple herbs and oils. Then we will make our own herb infused oils together!

These oils are great for cleansing, healing age, acne, or sensitivity, and moisturizing. This is a hands-on class, where Laena will share recipes and techniques, and everyone will make their own oil to take home. The last 15 minutes of class, Laena will teach you the Ayerveda self-massage technique, Abyanga, which is a great self-care ritual incorporating your handmade oil.
