Introduction
Did you know that daily there are about 47,000 self-care hashtags on Instagram? It is estimated that the self-care market has generated 4.5 million dollars and is growing at an extremely rapid rate. So why on earth would I jump on the bandwagon?
 
Well, what I have learned is that trends come, and trends go – and there is not much substance when it comes to trends. Much of what is marketed as self-care are merely products that contribute to self-care. But products do not provide the essence of what self-care really is. True self-care doesn’t come in a box that contains chocolates and bath bombs. Self-care is not only about what nourishes us physically (although this is an important component), but also what soothes, enriches, and sustains us internally.
 
Practicing self-compassion is the basis of this entire course. From this foundation we explore self-care strategies, all the while understanding that self-care encompasses so many factors.
Self-compassion and self-care are personal issues, which is why I have developed this course to be carried out on an individual basis.
