“Babies have the ability to self-soothe. It’s us as adults who don’t know how to self-soothe — we are taught to have others soothe us.”
— Dr. Jeshana Avent-Johnson · Clinical psychologist · selfmade advisor
The rhythm
A rhythm for skin that’s been holding it together. (Choe SJ et al. (2018). Psychological stress deteriorates skin barrier function by activating the HPA axis in skin. Scientific Reports 8:6334. “Increased cortisol inhibits the differentiation of keratinocytes and decreases the expression of cytokines needed to maintain the barrier function.” — https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-24653-z)

We’re making space
We named it the Burnout Lounge.
Then we lived it.
January 2025, our first store was opening in LA. Then — the actual fires.
A year and a half later, we’re building it back — online. When the doors open it’s open to everyone, with a backroom to break the back of burnout.
