In Biofield Tuning, “stuck energy” refers to areas in the body’s energy system that are holding tension, imbalance, or unresolved experiences. This is often experienced as fatigue, emotional reactivity, or a feeling of disconnection. By using sound and vibration from tuning forks, a clear and coherent signal is introduced, helping the body to recognize and gently reorganize these areas. As the biofield begins to shift, it can release what has been held, returning to a more natural and balanced rhythm. This process supports subtle yet meaningful changes, inviting a deeper sense of ease, clarity, and connection within yourself over time.

Sugaring is a completely natural hair removal process that is very popular in Europe. The warm paste consists of just three ingredients: lemon juice, sugar, and water. There are no additives or cloth strips involved, which makes it more environmentally friendly than waxing. Sugaring can help reduce ingrown hairs because it gently removes dead skin cells and removes hair in the natural direction of growth, which helps reduce irritation and ingrown hairs. Many people prefer sugaring because it is gentle on sensitive skin and leaves the skin smooth for weeks. Different hair removal methods work better for different skin and hair types. Mariia will consult with you and recommend the best method for your individual needs.

Cleaning advice from my clients and my Dad. His advice: Do the simplest thing first to solve a problem. Start with over-the-counter denture tablets. Double the concentration if you don’t see results in a week; it won’t hurt the plastics or metal. Use a soft sponge or cloth to remove debris, not a toothbrush or toothpaste. In the lab, I use a small disposable bristle brush. No knives or sandpaper to scrape stuff off. Put a facecloth in the sink just in case you drop them. Beware of homemade remedies; no bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Contact us for all your denture needs.
