Wedding-day beauty starts from within. Take care of your mind, body, and soul before the big day with help from these local wellness experts and outposts.
House Party
Part wellness studio, part social club, Oak Cliff’s Le Sol House offers classes and events with an emphasis on togetherness—perfect for pre-wedding bachelorette fun with your best girls. Started in 2019 in what was founder Taylor Madison’s home, Le Sol House has evolved from merely a party-and-event space to a hub for a slew of wellness-centered gatherings, including weekly yoga classes, moon circles, rising rituals, and sound baths. “You can find community in a lot of places, but at Le Sol, we want to offer a place to hold your authentic self—just to be fully you in a beautiful way,” says Taylor. While classes and events are available to the public, Le Sol offers application-based memberships to access their full slate of services. lesol.co —Lydia Brooks
Keep It Clean Wanting to get your skin wedding-day ready in a hurry? Look no further than Jamie O’Banion’s Dallas-based skincare brand, BeautyBio. Since 2011, Jamie’s mission has been to provide consumers with effective products that do all good and no harm. “It’s great that clean-label products aren’t bad for your skin, but they also need to actually do something,” she says. “We uphold a high standard of what we formulate without but also of the ingredients we choose to formulate with.” Their wide-ranging selection includes, hydroquinone-free creams, benzene-free dry shampoo, and the latest addition: the GLOFacial skin-resurfacing tool, which amounts to a portable, personal HydraFacial that takes only four-anda-half minutes. beautybio.com —L.B.
Energy Saver
Is the weight of wedding planning resting heavily on your shoulders? At My Chakra Center, owner/practitioner Lorraine Gachelin uses several holistic techniques—which include chakra balancing, vibrational sound therapy, and reiki—to balance the body’s energy, reducing stress and boosting overall wellness as a result. “We begin work by identifying bottledup emotions that act as triggers in the present moment,” she says. “Once these emotions are deactivated in the electromagnetic field, they lose their power, thus the client begins to gain their self-empowerment back.” mychakracenter. com —Emma McCrae
Pin Pals For acupuncturist Amy Adams, the practice of acupuncture is a way to look at the body through a different lens. “Essentially it’s the idea behind addressing energetic, or Qi, imbalances,” she says. Acupuncture can address any number of prewedding maladies—from anxiety and allergies to digestion and even physical pain. Amy relates that anyone could come in for a consultation. “At the very least, we’re going to try to help you relax, like you would go for a massage,” she says. “In most cases, it can help a lot.” amyadams acupuncture.com —L.B.
