Review of The Luxury Insider Reviews Nadia The Osteopath Services

25th January 2022

For the past few years I have had a tightening in my neck and pain in my shoulder which is often aggravated further by looking after the children (but I am a mum of two and as much as my GP says to rest and try not pick up the children, any busy mum will know that is just not possible). It was a breath of fresh air when I first met Nadia, where she practises in West London. Straight away she identified what was wrong and then she actually put her hands on me and got to work! Plus she didn’t try to tell me to stop doing things, rest or incorporate a list of exercising into my already busy day. (Ok there were a few at home exercises - but they were manageable).

Review of Our lifestyle expert reviews Dimple Amani’s miracle...

22nd January 2022

Amani delivers a different type of treatment to a traditional facial—there’s no exfoliation (unless the client really needs it) or cleaning, rather Amani prefers to work from the inside out. She specialises in face and body sculpting and shaping treatments where she leverages techniques that promote lymphatic drainage to get the desired results. Her treatments are rooted in Ayurveda, one of the world’s oldest healing systems that targets the whole body. “It’s more about the technique than the product, and this is what people don’t understand—the product is for aftercare and the technique is where the magic lies,” explains Amani. Amani’s magic hands are sought after by everyone from London high society to Bollywood actresses. “I see some clients right before they go on set to make sure their skin is plump and they’re glowing in front of the camera,” she says.

Review of New year, best version of you, at Repose, High Street...

1st January 2022

Repose, at 40, High Street Kensington, offers a combination of classes and biohacking. Classes include EMA and antigravity while biohacking consists of therapies such as cryotherapy, infrared sauna and photobiomodulation. Unlike any other gym we have visited, Repose provides a calm and contemporary luxurious space where customers can seek clarity and feel comfortable while enjoying fitness and beauty services. And while many London based gyms can be extremely intimidating - industrial style sweat boxes, with men in a grunting competition trying to lift (and loudly drop) the heaviest weights possible, E-pulsive is the very opposite of this. Step off busy High Street Kensington into what feels more like a spa, a calm oasis of white, wood and bright open space. The actual gym area feels bespoke and private, and definitely not overwhelmingly busy. The space is entirely state of the art and high tech. The changing rooms are beautifully laid out with a space for changing, refreshing yourself post workout (think - hairdryers, face wipes, hairspray, tampons) and lockers to store your personal belongings. Although the space might not seem like the biggest, it is all that you really need for the luxury bespoke services that the team offers. There is a bright, luxury ski chalet spa feeling about the entire space.

Review of The Thoughtfulness Behind Gifting A Jo Malone London Scent

17th December 2021

Though we’ve been able to head out somewhat given how many times restrictions keep changing, this gifting season has been a challenge unlike any other. Sometimes it’s just nice to pick out items we’re familiar with, items that continue to remain classic and items that are always loved time and time again.  Enter Jo Malone London- scents most of us are familiar with and a brand that we know and love due to its brand spirit and its ability to invoke that classic statement scent as well as being the ideal gifting idea whatever the season or occasion. We wanted to spend more time delving deeper into three particular scents so that you might have a little more of an idea of what each one invokes and evokes. Or perhaps you are new and unsure of the type of fragrant notes you are looking for, whether for yourself or for someone you know. We chose three signature scents all carrying a different olfactory note, each a beauty in themselves.

Women Who Launch - Coco Fletcher, Willow

30th November 2021

Before the lockdown, I enjoyed going to my regular classes at studios around London either over my lunch break or on the way home. I always thought that online workouts couldn’t provide me with that little bit of encouragement, in the form of peer pressure, that I got out of going to studios in-person. But beggars can’t be choosers, and I soon found myself following a number of fitness instructors who did Instagram Live workouts and I even subscribed to a few platforms to get exclusive live and on-demand content. But once things started opening up, I realised I really missed the feeling of coming into a studio where the instructors know your name, you get subtle corrections on your form to make sure you don’t hurt yourself, and you feel that incomparable sense of community that only comes with being in a room full of people struggling as you sweat through another marathon of squats.

Modern fitness, an interview with owners of E-Pulsive and...

2nd November 2021

Time-efficient, low-impact workouts that will help you improve strength and body composition in just 20 minutes. Eladio de Leon and Mario Kaspers started both EMS studio E-Pulsive, as well as alternative therapy haven Repose, alongside the expertise of Daria Ivanova to create optimal results for their clients in their beautiful location in South Kensington. The Sybarite spoke with them on how they started their business, the benefits of EMS and Repose and what the future holds for them. What are both of your backgrounds? Daria - I was brought up by a very supportive family. Most of my relatives are from a professional sporting background, which always directed me into this arena. Finally, I decided to pursue a career in this industry and began working for 6 years with E-Pulsive as an EMS trainer, gaining a lot of experience. After a while I decided to join forces and create the best wellness space in London, if not in the world. Mario has a master in Master Chemical Engineering at Imperial Colleague, then did his PT qualifications in London. Eladio has a degree in International business management, he has studied in different countries and love to explore different cultures. Naturally a connector and an entrepreneur.

Review of Beauty Round Up - Best Luxury Mascaras to Buy Now

27th October 2021

However, finding the right mascara for the occasion is not always that simple. It can feel like a minefield, particularly given the number of options that are now on the market, everything from mascaras that give you volume and length to others which promise growth and definition. I’m not really a fan of waterproof mascara, I like to be able to wash it off with a good facial cleanser, so this is always the first test for me. Secondly it’s about finding the best mascara for the effect you are after, and as with the hair on our head, lashes come in different textures and colours, so there isn’t any such thing as a one-size-fits-all mascara. I’ve done a little digging around to find some luxury mascara brands that you may not have heard of, and with a little trial and error I have put my top six together.
