“Self-care is at the heart and soul of Ode to self. The relationship we share with ourselves is often forgotten, impaired or entirely non-existent; particularly in a society that has a tight tether on perfectionism. As this self-relationship can strongly influence body and mind, it has a pivotal role in overall health. I have experienced both sides of the coin when it comes to a healthy self-relationship. Through my experience, knowledge and creativity, I aim to assist those returning home to themselves”. — Laura Ballin
