Celebrating Mother’s Day with a few of our Sanctum mums – Dermal Therapist Dani 🤍

Why is looking after your skin important for you?
I take comfort in knowing that my skin care rituals are protecting and strengthening my skin. Resilient and healthy skin provides me with the confidence to be the best version of myself. The goal for me is to look radiant through all stages of life, this is my skin for life, it is crucial that I take care of it.

What is your favourite characteristic you have inherited from your mother?
My resilience and fierce devotion to my girls. My mum’s innate devotion to her family, and her caring and nurturing nature inspires me daily.

What message do you have for Mum this year given the challenges we are all living through?
To ensure we live in the moment and take the time to breathe it all in and appreciate what we have. We need to utilise that small window of opportunity to treat ourselves to that facial or yoga class. Prioritising our own self-care will have positive flow on affects to the care we provide others.

Tell us one thing that surprised you about yourself when becoming a mother?
That I am more capable than I gave myself credit for, I am amazed at how much I can achieve on little sleep, and my ability to juggle the many facets of my life. I am now more determined than ever to chase my goals and be the best role model for my girls.

If you could talk to your Pre-motherhood self, what advice would you give her?
Don’t sweat the little things, try not to get caught in a cycle of worry, life has a beautiful way of guiding us exactly where we are meant to be.

What is one thing you hope your daughters remember of their childhood?
That I was present, and that they felt safe, warm, and loved. That they felt comfortable to express themselves, with a sense of curiosity and adventure.
