As esties with clients as besties -  you know we love a good vent session... but when does "spilling tea" turn to "trauma dumping"?  Energy exchanges are extremely prevalent in the world of esthetics. Being in the service industry - you are in a constant state of meeting new people and facing new energies (good or bad) every single day. Let's talk how we maintain our  energetic balance, stay in tune with our spiritual practices, and protect ourselves and our clients energy even after the heaviest emotional moments.
