I’ve been on a mission lately. A mission to cut clutter of all kinds from my life. One happens to be trying to minimise the chemicals I use and also just be a bit kinder to myself. You feel? As often happens when you send an intention into the world, you find someone or something that can help you on your way. That’s how I was introduced to Natalie A.K.A Kindred Toxin Free. Her ethos is all about kind beauty — being kind to yourself and the environment, and having had a similar path health wise, I felt like we instantly clicked. I was where I was meant to be at that particular moment. Natalie herself is a warm and open bundle of good energy. The first time you meet her at her salon in Bulimba, you’re instantly at ease. Her warmth is layered with a sincere honesty and no BS approach. She walks the talk and chances are, if she’s using a product on you during a treatment, she uses it herself. The treatment itself, her classic Glow facial, was easily the most blissful skincare treatment I’ve had. I do enjoy treating myself to facials on the regular but this is the first that I truly felt warranted the price(much cheaper than some I’ve had, and to be honest this one had better results) and had my skin looking instantly revived as I walked out. On arrival you’re taken into the treatment room and the bed is heated with ample blankets to really ensure you’re comfortable. Natalie chats you through it all and after a few cleanses the bliss begins. A massage while your mask does its magic will literally send you to sleep. Natalie encourages it. In the hours that followed my facial not only did I feel like I had revitalised skin but I felt like I’d let go of some serious crud I’d been hanging on to. And this my Unilocal friends is why I felt like Natalie is kindred by nature. Book a treatment(online and oh so easy) and see just what I mean. Pro Tip: She also does skincare treatments for men and some waxing.
