MY STORY

My name’s Nicole, and I’m not a hormone or skincare expert, I’m just another Woman who’s gone from feeling ok about my skin to feeling frustrated as the effects of changing hormones causes sensitivity, redness, wrinkles and my previous, admittedly basic skincare routines to fail. 

I learnt TM (Transcendental Meditation) when I was a Fashion Buyer at 26 and it’s been a cornerstone of my life throughout a demanding career and a growing family of 3 kids. Through that connection I discovered Ayurveda and I found myself drawn to the personalised nature and a deeper connection to your own self. 

I tried various Ayurvedic skincare products and I found solutions that helped me with Gotu Kola for natural collagen production and Shatavari as a powerful adaptogen to further help with balancing stress and emotions, nothing comes close to TM but these simple additions to my skincare routine have helped me and I hope many others.

How Transcendental Meditation Helps

Learning Transcendental Meditation before or during midlife transition definitely helps to prevent and reduce fatigue and emotional stress that can trigger menopausal symptoms.

You will become more resilient mentally, emotionally and physically by learning and including Transcendental Meditation in your daily routine, no matter what chapter of life you are experiencing.

THE BENEFITS

Relieving
Anxiety

Women are more vulnerable to stress than men, we recover more slowly and are twice as likely to suffer from anxiety.

The TM technique significantly reduces anxiety by calming the nervous system and providing the experience of inner peace.

The
Workplace

Whatever your career, women need to be able to think clearly, remain focused under pressure, and perform efficiently at work, but sometimes being overwhelmed can creep in.

Improved conceptual thinking, creativity, memory, learning ability, and successful decision-making result from the enhanced performance of the brain during the TM technique.

Meditating
Mums

Mums deserve meditation probably more than anyone does. We like to think we’ll be able to ignore our needs while taking care of children, work and home.

Daily TM practice replenishes us, giving us a healthy foundation for nourishing parenting.

Gotu Kola & Collagen Production

Gotu Kola is considered to be the plant of knowledge and is renowned in Ayurveda as the herb for anti-aging, a natural stimulant for collagen production.

SKIN BENEFITS

Firmer Skin

Gotu Kola when used on the skin is firming, targeting wrinkles and fine lines by boosting the formation of collagen which is crucial in maintaining the skin’s elasticity. 

Anti-Aging

Amino acids, beta carotene, fatty acids and phytochemicals— everything our skin needs to fight off the signs of aging and to protect itself from environmental stressors are found in Gotu Kola.
