the importance of self-care throughout motherhood
taking time for yourself is important, no matter what stage of motherhood you're in.
Motherhood has its many rewards. Whether you’re pregnant, already have children or are caring for loved ones, it’s an extraordinary commitment that relies on a lot of your time and energy no matter the stage of motherhood you’re in.
Which is why setting time aside for self-care is so important. We know it can feel impossible to find a spare hour, but prioritising time for yourself will give your body a chance to rest and rejuvenate, and in the long run, this will enhance your ability to care for your loved ones.
Spa treatments are a beautiful way to rejuvenate yourself and restore some balance in your life. At endota, we have a carefully curated range of treatments for every stage of motherhood, from restorative pregnancy massage to radiance-boosting facials, rejuvenating spa packages and nourishing skincare.
our top 3 ways to reconnect with yourself:
- Book a rejuvenating facial or massage
- Introduce new at-home self-care rituals
- Engage in mindful movement such as yoga or walking.
understand the importance of prioritising self
You can’t pour from an empty cup, which is why it’s important to carve out time that’s solely yours. A unique way to lock in dedicated self-care is through our Treatment Series, where you purchase any treatment in a pack of five and only pay for four. Not only is our Treatment Series great value, it’s a promise to yourself to practise self-care in the future. The pack is available across a range of facial and massage options depending on your needs, but these are a few of our favourite treatments to foster that promise to self:
at-home care
Beauty rituals in the comfort of your home can be transformative, too. Try integrating a weekly soak in the bath, or an at-home facial. If you’re short on time, endota skin expert and education coordinator Kimberley Conboy even suggests a sheet mask, such as our Power Serum Sheet Mask, as “You can put them on, keep doing what you need to, then peel them off and discard – you don’t even have to rinse [your skin].”
Simple gestures like a slather of body oil after a hot shower, or even a two-minute hand-cream massage with our Signature Blend Hand Therapy before bed also add up and can make a significant difference to body health and your frame of mind.
mindful movement
Finally, hold onto a sense of calm by scheduling small pockets of time for enjoyable movement or hobbies. Try practising a 10-minute yoga flow with endota Retreat, or squeeze in a brisk walk before the rest of the household wakes in the morning. Finding small moments of time to take care of yourself can help you be your best you for your loved ones.
