Pussy : A Reclamation
New York Times best-selling manifesto from the founder of Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts, written to put women back in touch with their power source and show them the steps to an authentically radiant life.
The Art of Receiving and Giving : The Wheel of Consent
"Why would most people endure unwanted or unsatisfying touch, rather than speak up for their own boundaries and desires? It’s a question with a myriad of answers – and one that Dr. Betty Martin has explored in her 40+ years as a hands-on practitioner, first as a chiropractor and later as a Somatic Sex Educator, Certified Surrogate Partner and Sacred Intimate."
WELLNESS
My acupressure mat (also called "Shakti Mat") is an absolute must in my regular relaxation rituals. Life wouldn't be the same without it and it saves me tons of money on massages (ironic, I know). It's my number one rec !
Ideal for daily relaxation, post-workout recovery, or pre-intimate rituals to connect mind and body.
Acupressure Mat
Lumbar Support & Tailbone Relief Chair Cushion
This is particularly great if you work long hours at a desk or if you drive a lot.
Also, if you experience tailbone pain or sciatica, the sitting cushion has U-shaped hole which alleviates pressure on the coccyx.
An efficient duo for back and tailbone relief, your body will thank you !
Gua Sha & Jade Roller
I LOVE these self-massage tools ! I regularly use them especially the Gua Sha to scrape my forearms as they are overworked from massaging. They are essentials tools to support lympathic drainage. I cannot recommend enough trying out this facial beauty ritual (you can find how-to videos on YouTube).
Bonus tip : pop it in the fridge for extra coolness and reduce puffiness even faster.
Block out Sleep Mask
If you are anything like me, you can't sleep unless you are immerse in total darkness. I personally can't sleep well if light comes in so a sleep mask is a MUST when I travel. I also use it during my self-intimate moments to deepen the focus on sensations and bring the nervous system down.
When I use the acupressure mat as well, combined with relaxation music, you'll feel restored and refreshed. One of my all time favorite relaxation ritual!
Lavender Eye Pillow
I always have an eye pillow in my drawer next to my bed ! It is perfect in combination with an acupressure mat session or any other relaxing practices. The weight on your eyes will calm the nervous system and supports your mind to "switch off". You can heat it up in the microwave or put it in the freezer to reduce puffiness. Definitely a well-being essential in my home.
