Ah-Shi Beauty - This is my Beauty! My customers set their own beauty standards. It is my responsibility that when my customers look in the mirror, they see themselves, feel empowered and continue to love the skin they are in. Ah-Shi Beauty has the opportunity to help the 500+ recognized reservations that are ignored. For the first time in history, we have a beauty brand with two locations that proudly operates both on and off a tribal reservation. I am in the position to expand and scale to exponential heights.All tribes across the country can relate to Ah-Shi Beauty. As the face of the brand, I am always pushing the narrative to show the world that we are here and our indigenous beauty will be recognized and respected. Ah-Shi Beauty is going to bring positive change to the beauty industry. We are a part of the movement that is resetting and reshaping beauty standards.

Send us Fan MailLet’s ChatTo say that Michelle Roques-O’Neil is one of the leading lights of aromatherapy, globally today, would be an understatement. With over 40 years of experience, she is a spiritual health and wellness expert with rare intuition and a gift for healing that goes way beyond the dizzying array of disciplines she has knowledge of. Not only a trained aromatherapist but a Reiki Master, a trained reflexologist, a sound and cranio-sacral therapist who has studied Native American rituals, numerology, shamanism, Taoist Qi Gong, SRT and the alchemy of essences. Michelle offers one of the most spiritually profound and life-changing healing experiences currently available, globally, full stop. One client described a treatment with her as ‘like going on a retreat’.It all began back in the 1970s. Michelle left school and started off by cutting people’s hair with the original thought of going into hair and make-up. She trained in beauty therapy at Joan Price’s Face Place and Joan famously observed ‘have you ever thought of being a masseur, you’ve got incredible hands.’ A chance meeting with a model led her to explore the idea of aromatherapy massage and she wrote to ‘Godmother of aromatherapy’ Micheline Arcier and asked for an apprenticeship. Michelle then commenced on a transformative four-year journey with Micheline, intensively learning all she could about aromatherapy and massage and devouring books about healing and emotional modulation. Micheline Arcier (1923-2006) is credited with introducing aromatherapy into the UK. From her clinic in Knightsbridge she also trained aromatherapy luminaries Sue Beechey and Geraldine Howard, (contemporary to Michelle) who went on to found the global brand Aromatherapy Associates. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/supportSupport the Show.Follow The Show On All Socials Using The Tag @skincareanarchy Hosted on Acast.
