Orlando Self-Care Spotlight: 4.22 Organics
Orlando Self-Care Spotlight: 4.22 Organics
In our very first blog post in this series, Orlando Therapist Shares Importance of Self-Care, I explored how having a self-care plan allows you to regulate your nervous system and sets you up to bring the best you to your family, friends, and work.
I’ve continued this series by highlighting local Orlando businesses that focused on wellness. Most recently, I’ve featured a pilates studio in Baldwin Park, a local acupuncturist in downtown Orlando, and a hair salon in Winter Park.
We are grateful for these business owners because they have dedicated their lives to nurturing the mind, body, and spirit of humans. Because of their work, they are helping the people in our Orlando community live healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives.
Because healing inspires healing, the work these local business owners do extends well beyond our Orlando community and continues to positively impact people across the planet. And for that, the team at Mindful Living Counselor Orlando wants to say, “Thank You!
In this article, we are interviewing Marlene Waganheim, owner of 4.22 Organics, a facial and wellness studio.
About 4.22 Organics by Marlene
4.22 Organics started out as Faces Skin Care in 2005. It grew to three beautiful locations until the economic bust in 2008 hit and had to close. I landed on my feet in a room off the breezeway at Exum Chiropractic. It was probably the best thing that ever happened. It gave me time to develop my skincare lines, 4.22 Organics, Dermaque, and Vita C Plex, and launch them in other locations. It also drove me to go back to school and get my degree in Alternative Medicine. Today, I have a thriving hands-on business blending what I love most; skincare, clean products, and optimal health from the inside out.
What is the most frequent compliment you get about your space for self-care?
The most frequent compliment I get is after a treatment when the client says, “Can I just stay here the night?” “I may have to uber home” and “This is much more than a facial.”
I also hear that everyone loves my music playlist. I’m very eclectic with genres. I believe music affects the senses, which is just as important as smell and touch.
What is your favorite skin care service and why?
That’s a tough one as I love them all. I would have to say for a facial, I love doing the organic peel (Noni Pear, or Cherry Plum.) There is no downtime like other peels and the results are long-lasting. I call it my bride's facial because it gives you that sun-kissed glow on your skin…and that we love all the time!
As for advanced treatment, I have been doing microcurrents since day one and love the results of lifting the facial muscles. Results are Real and once you get through start-up protocol, it's a once-a-month lift.
Why is your business a great self-care spot for people with anxiety?
Energy, human touch, and kindness bring peace to one’s soul! I can visually see someone relax, and fall into vacation mode. It may be only a room, but there is a feeling of safety and peace when you walk in.
Besides facial treatments, 4.22 Organics is a wellness practice utilizing RF frequency that can balance your meridians, lower inflammation, calm the nervous system, detoxify, clear toxic metals and molds, etc. Once our system is balanced, the anxiety seems to diminish.
I also am an Emotional Code practitioner specifically working on releasing trapped traumas which our body holds on to. Clearing these emotions has brought relief to fears, anxieties, and even physical ailments.
When is the most chill time to visit?
Anytime! Services are by appointment only 321-695-6951 and my hours are very flexible, except when we get the grandkids.
What is your favorite mental health quote, tidbit, or mantra?
As Buddha states, “Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.” And I like to add … “but sometimes one just needs a little help from a ghostwriter!”
What is your personal favorite self-care activity?
Me? Like the shoemaker's son without shoes…I’m due for some facial treatment! But like I always preach, it doesn’t take much to fill up our cup and I am getting better at self-care myself. I’m back at the gym, getting massages, doing my frequency, reading, and painting.
