Hidden Gems: Meet Desiree Moore of Soul Wellness and Skin

Today we’d like to introduce you to Desiree Moore.

Hi Desiree, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I have always had a love for the beauty and self-care industry but took the traditional college route for a job with “safety”. After quite a few major changes and nothing really lighting me up I knew that I wanted to pursue my dream of being an esthetician.

I have been an esthetician since 2018 and I opened my own esthetics business in late 2020, I struggled with anxiety and depression growing up, and as much as I loved skincare there were some days I couldn’t even wash my face let alone fully take care of my self or skin.

Knowing that feeling I knew I wanted to create something that made people feel their best inside and out. That’s how Soul Wellness and Skin was born.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Opening up a business right in the middle of a global pandemic was one of the most challenging things I have ever done. With constant talk about another shutdown and (rightful) fear around leaving the house, it definitely was not a smooth road, to begin with.

Being a business owner is like being on a roller coaster but I wouldn’t change it for anything. I’m passionate about the work that I do and I adore helping my clients.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Soul Wellness and Skin were born out of my mission to aid people in finding their confidence, loving the skin they are in, and connecting with their best selves. Through services like Breathwork, Energy work, and Skincare. Our highlighted service is the “Best self package” which is a service that offers a mix of breathwork, a facial, and then a guided meditation with energy work.

The breathwork that I offer is similar to holotropic breathwork. It is a 3 part of breath 85 percent in the stomach, 15 percent in the chest, and then release. This breathing practice is intended to help with emotional healing and personal growth. The active breath changes the balance between carbon dioxide and oxygen in the body causing an altered state of consciousness. Allowing repressed emotions/feelings to rise to the surface. During your session, you are doing active breathing for about 30-45 min to a personalized playlist and then you are guided into a scream into a pillow. Adding the somatic scream allows for a full-body energetic release that facilitates letting go of whatever comes up, reducing tension levels and triggering endorphins causing a natural high.

Every service is intuitively tailored to you and whatever your body or skin is needing or wants!

What’s next?
I’m looking forward to expanding and reaching more people. I’m also excited about offering more public and private events!
