Why Beauty Rehab? Because every woman is beautiful. She just doesn’t know it yet.
You deserve to feel beautiful every day. Through this blog, I'm going to help you do that. The entries are based on the "Beauty Rehab" process I've used with both women and men to help them feel confident and attractive.
True rehabilitation follows a process:
· Detox – cutting of the physical poisons from your system. In this case, cutting off the toxic thoughts that are preventing you from feeling beautiful.
· Rehabilitation – typically 28 days of counseling to form new habits and learn to process your thoughts and feelings in a healthier way. You start seeing yourself in a new way and know you’re beautiful.
· After Care – your own recovery where you keep ‘on the wagon’ and continue to stay on track.
Even if you don't start at the beginning, you can get value from the exercises and ideas at any stage in your rehab process.
Do you need beauty rehab? Well, how did you feel about yourself when you woke up this morning? When you went to your closet to decide what to wear, how did you feel? Happy that you have such great clothes that make you look and feel fabulous? Or anxiety that nothing fits and you hate every item in your wardrobe?
When you looked in the mirror and brushed your teeth, what thought went through your head? Did you look at yourself and think “I look great!” or did you have mirror shock and think “Is that another wrinkle?!” Did you see a beautiful, confident woman in the mirror? Or did you see someone who wonders if she’s beautiful, focuses mostly on her flaws, and may even genuinely believe she’s ugly and not ‘enough.’ Not pretty enough, thin enough, big-chested enough, petite enough, young enough, blonde enough, tan enough… or some other ‘enough’ that is her little secret. We all have hidden ‘enoughs’ that make us feel unattractive and deny us a connection to our beauty and our power.
Because you have chosen to read this book, you are ready to start a new journey that will lead you to feeling great about yourself. You deserve to feel beautiful, sexy and confident – because you are beautiful, sexy and confident no matter what your head is telling you! You deserve to wake up every morning feeling special, knowing that you are amazing, lovely, and gorgeous.
As a professional image consultant, my work is more about the head than the body. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a woman who was insecure or overwhelmed with confusing image choices transformed into a confident, beautiful woman. I can literally see these women connecting to their power – and there is nothing more spectacular. When a woman connects to her power, she’s unstoppable. She knows what she deserves and doesn’t need anyone else to validate her. She has energy that radiates from inside. She is beautiful.
I love my job and every woman I’ve worked with has taught me something new. I’m continually growing in my work and finding new ways to help tap women tap into this power. No matter who you are and how you look, it is possible to feel beautiful and know you’re an amazing creature worthy of being loved and admired. Mostly, you’ll begin to love and admire yourself – which is where the real power lies.
We’ve all seen “What Not to Wear” and “Extreme Makeover” shows on television. While those shows are great at helping a person identify what type of skirt to wear, they don’t really do justice to the psychological aspects of changing something as fundamental as how you look. This is heavy stuff. Personal image is a minefield fraught with mini landmines planted throughout our lifetime. We stumble over them from time to time and we have created very complex patterns of behavior that help us navigate our own minefield.
I appreciate your question and thoughts as we go through this process together!

Skin. Everyone has it. And one glance at TV, movies and magazines reveals how much people love to flash it. It's true that showing some skin on TV may help the ratings, but baring too much in the office says, "I'm inexperienced, unprofessional and hoping people will not notice I have no real skills for this job."
Once you get the reputation as a sultry dresser, it may be difficult to shake that image and ever be taken seriously by your colleagues.
If you don't want to put your image or career on the line, avoid these office attire don'ts:
Plunging Necklines. Some of the lawyers on TV can't seem to get through a case without them. Your office, however, is not trying to garner audience ratings. So button up or wear a tank or camisole under that shirt to conceal the cleavage.
Low-rise Pants. Outside the office, you probably can't be seen without them. But at work, it's best to cover your behind.
Mini and Micro-Mini Skirts. This cutesy little item may be a staple in a Britney Spears video, but at ABC Accounting, Inc., it may go too far in illustrating your bottom line.
Belly Shirts. Everyone is glad you use your ab-cruncher religiously, but the office is not the place to put all your hard work on display. Leave it for the gym, beach or nightclub.
Men's Chest Hair. Exposing excess chest hair went out of style with leisure suits. Men, you may want to button your shirt an extra button before your clients begin expecting you to ask them what their sign is.
See-Through Shirts. If you want people to pay attention to what they can learn from your presentation instead of what they see through your shirt, wear a suit coat, t-shirt or camisole underneath sheerer fabrics.
Shorts. Shorts are rarely appropriate in the workplace. It's true, some styles of women's suits have included a longer short. But as a rule, shorts don't cut it in a professional setting.
Open-Back Tops and Dresses. These may work in the ballroom, but not in the conference room. Slip on a sweater or jacket and go from overexposed to professionally composed.
Flip-flops. These are appropriate for vacations and lounging, not daily office tasks. If you have problems with your feet, try clogs or even open-toed shoes.
Skimpy, Strappy Camisole Tops. Yes, you can wear these barely-there pieces... with the help of a blouse, sweater or jacket worn over them. See "Plunging Necklines."
