Holistic Skincare Truths

Holistic Skincare Truths for an Aligned + Sustainable Routine

Here are seven holistic skincare truths that can guide you to a more conscious and sustainable approach to your skincare journey:

1. The Skin is Smarter than You Might Think
   Your skin is not just a barrier. It communicates and protects. It is a self-healing organ and responds to both internal and external cues. Your skin carries an innate intelligence and when supported properly, it can reflect your vitality. Rather than overloading the skin with products which can disrupt the skin's natural processes, trust in what the skin communicates to you, choosing care over correction.
   

2. It’s a Relationship, Not Just a Routine
   Skincare is not a practice of perfection, rather a practice of presence. Consistency is the most important part. As you create space to care for your skin, consider it to be a revered part of your day. Apply each product intentionally and mindfully so that skincare becomes a ritual. Celebrate where you are in your skincare journey.
   

3. It Can Be Simple: Minimal Products + the 80/20 Approach
   You don’t need the 12-step skincare regimen to achieve vibrantly healthy skin, but instead, you can refocus on a minimal approach that we like to call 80/20 skincare: 80% at home care and 20% professional support. Consider your clean and minimal at home care to be the daily nourishment your skin needs and the time with your holistic esthetician part of your deeper care and recalibration. Together, your skin can maintain a natural glow year round.
   

4. Intention is Just as Important as Ingredients
   The purity of a product goes beyond the label. When we choose clean, cruelty-free, and plant-powered ingredients, we are choosing to practice conscious living. Skincare that is rooted in intention, ethics, and alignment upholds our values of honoring both the body and the planet. Each product we use in our services and carry at retail embody these qualities, including our much anticipated launch, Tenfold. (You can read more about our product here.)
   

5. Skincare Should Evolve With You
   As we live and grow, the skin evolves and changes. We move through seasons, hormone fluctuations, lifestyle changes, and transformations. All of these experiences can affect how the skin behaves. Holistic skincare embraces the evolution of the self. The right esthetician can guide you and support you exactly where you are at in your journey. We’re incredibly lucky to have four talented Licensed Estheticians on staff to support you!
   

6. Glow Begins Within
   True radiance is not surface-level. In the holistic skincare ethos, the skin is said to reflect our inner world. Our glow can be further supported by proper hydration, nutrition, sleep, stress-management, emotional regulation, and intentional rest.
   

7. Presence Over Perfection
   A skincare routine does not need to be flawless. What matters most is consistency, not just in the tangible care for the skin, but during the intangible self-care that can support glowing skin such as mindfulness, positive affirmations, and confidence building. Show up for yourself with compassion.

Gifting experiences that are celebrated long after Mother's Day 💖

At The Fifth Om, we believe that the best gifts are the ones that continue to unfold — long after the day they are given. As we near Mother’s Day, we invite you to think beyond traditional gifts and into experiences that nurture, heal, and honor the incredible mothers in our lives.

Motherhood, in all its forms, is a journey of selflessness, devotion, and resilience. Amid the duties of caretaking, it is ever more important for mothers to know they’re cared for also. This Mother’s Day, we offer a way to give an experience of intentional care: through holistic experiences designed to replenish the body, mind, and spirit.

An Invitation
Our spa services are crafted to be more than an appointment on the busy calendar — they are invitations to slow down, soften, and reconnect to the self. Our spa menu includes services such as Integrative Massage, Botanical Facial, and Far Infrared Sauna, each rooted in our mission: to cultivate holistic wellness and conscious beauty in every experience.

Every mother deserves to feel supported, seen, and celebrated. By gifting her a wellness experience at The Fifth Om, you are offering more than relaxation — you are offering her time to leave her worries at the door, a full body exhale, and an opportunity to return to herself.

Full Customized Spa Journeys
We allow our services to be fully customized to meet every mom where they are at. Our Integrative Massage is the most versatile and admired service as it can blend several holistic healing modalities into a traditional massage. With our Three-by-Thirty journey, mom can experience 30 minutes of our integrative massage, 30 minutes of our botanical facial, and 30 min FIR Sauna session. For those needing radiant replenishment, an extended botanical facial paired with energy work creates an experience that supports beauty from the inside out.

Every treatment is delivered with clean and natural products. Our fully licensed and highly experienced practitioners integrate both traditional techniques and innovative wellness practices.

Beyond Self-Care
When you choose to gift an experience, you gift something far more valuable: a memory, a transformation, a reminder that mom, too, is deeply cared for.

Each detail of our wellness space is designed with our philosophy in mind: there is power in nature and power in your natural capacity for healing.

From the light and airy atmosphere to the healing aromas that greet you at the door, The Fifth Om is the place where moments of intentional rest bloom into long-lasting well-being. That is holistic wellness.

Holistic healing and the power of nature

In a world that demands quick solutions, we are here to remind you of your innate, natural power when it comes to healing in body, mind, and spirit. There is power in nature. 🌿🌊✨

Just as nature curates life with purpose, we curate our spa offerings with purpose. With the seasons, the ocean, and nature, it is essential to remember that we too have our own ebbs and flows rest and initiation. When we honor our own natural energy, we cannot only experience well-being, but reconnect with the most authentic expression of self.

Our treatments (massage, facial, energy work, and enhancements) carry an integrative approach and work in harmony with the body; to restore and to nurture. When we understand that wellness is an experience—one that includes the body, mind, and spirit, we can better tend to our own needs as they arise.

Our integrative approach to wellness is rooted in the innate wisdom of the body; to spark the process of healing and support you in maintaining healing. Here’s how we can help:

The (FIR) Far Infrared Sauna
Promoting detoxification and improved circulation, the FIR Sauna is designed to work in tandem with your body’s own healing mechanisms. Regular sessions in the Far Infrared (FIR) Sauna can support overall well-being and beauty from the inside out. It warms the body’s core temperature, offering a cascade of physical, mental, and beauty benefits.

Clean and Conscious Products
Clean beauty is more than the label on the bottle. Truly clean beauty products build a sustainable relationship between our environment and our bodies. We focus on clean, natural, and conscious ingredients because nature can be powerful. Our spa treatments include carefully selected clean products because of their purity and nourishment without harmful chemical-ridden ingredients. We are committed to sourcing effective, results-driven products that are ethically and environmentally conscious. Reaching that deeper sense of well-being can be done by leaning into the power of the natural world while also supporting your body’s natural ability for healing.

The Spa Menu
Facials can bring warmth to the skin (not just from those amazing hot towel moments) but also by improving circulation through gentle massage techniques. Massages can be customized to your needs and include complimentary aromatherapy to activate the senses and awaken the experience of well-being. Cupping therapy with a certified practitioner can be standalone sessions or added to another service. Read more about cupping therapy here to learn of the many benefits. Energy medicine in the form of Reiki or Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) can elevate your self-care practices by working with you on a spiritual level; supporting the many layers of self including the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

Heart Focused Connection
The heart of our approach speaks to the belief that healing is a deeply personal journey. We must choose the self-care practices that resonate with where we are at on our journey. They can certainly change as we change. This can mean choosing experiences that nurture, support, and inspire. It can also mean later choosing experiences that that allow us to relax, reflect, and let go. We aim to create a safe space where every individual feels empowered and embraces where they are at on their own healing journey.

We support the journey of natural healing by integrating holistic spa services with clean and conscious products. Our licensed and experienced practitioners encourage sustainable, natural beauty- both inwardly and outwardly. By nurturing the body’s natural ability to heal, we can help you cultivate that radiant glow from the inside out.

Let us walk this journey with you, as you rediscover your own natural capacity for healing.

Your Winter Wellness Archetype

Finding the Holistic Spa Experience for you

Winter can be a transformative period of going inward to cultivate inner warmth and make a conscious shift toward our personal needs. Maintaining self-care routines and rituals can support just that.

Holistic Wellness Practices for Rebalancing With the Seasons

Our cozy far infrared sauna.

As cooler weather settles in, our wellness and beauty routine can also settle into the natural exhale of wintering. Being fully in the ‘ber months is not just about temperature changes or throwing on an extra layer. We have an opportunity to recalibrate and align ourselves with natural cycles; not just the ones outside of us, but the ones within us as well.

Rebalancing with the seasons in body, mind, and beauty, can be as simple as taking time to rest. As we prepare for the winter, this season can also be a time to reflect on how we rest and what needs rebalancing.

There is wisdom in every season. Fall encourages introspection and letting go while also carrying warm tones of gold and copper. Observing these qualities of the season, we can build practices that support our well-being and rebalance with the season.

Remember, it’s the small, intentional shifts that can make a significant difference over time. Here are a few ways we can help you embrace seasonal changes:

Adjust Your Skincare Routine
Fall can often create dry skin, requiring a more attentive moisturizing routine or even rehydration treatments. A holistic skincare routine takes into account the whole picture; meeting you where you are at with your skin. In addition to clean skincare on the shelf in our studio space, we also offer a results-driven holistic skincare menu from a classic facial to our seasonal Gold n’ Glow facial.

Movement and Rest
As we rebalance, we may feel called to change the way we exercise or the way we rest. Summer can often bring us more energy, but the fall may feel cozier and require more gentle self care practices such as yoga or a Far Infrared (FIR) sauna session. Regular sessions in the Far Infrared (FIR) Sauna can support overall well-being and beauty from the inside out. It warms the body’s core temperature, offering a cascade of physical, mental, and beauty benefits.

Supporting Emotional & Mental Wellness
Autumn can certainly invite us to be more introspective. We can use this time for reflection, journaling, or receiving energy work. Booking a massage can offer mental clarity and the deep relaxation we crave. Being in the season of letting go, we can tap into that wisdom so we can make room for new experiences.

Find Your Dedicated Wellness Spot
Whether it is a dedicated spot in your home, or it happens to be our holistic wellness spa, our intention is to curate seasonal wellness experiences to support you in rebalancing with the seasons. The warmth of the FIR sauna, specialized facials, and massages are designed to support your journey through the seasons.

Holistic rebalancing with the seasons is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The first step to holistic wellness is to honor your unique needs. Then, from that place of honoring, self-care can become intentional, meaningful, and even more nourishing in body, mind, and beauty.
