The start of our story, in Valencia, Spain, where we both lived at the time. We invited 10 women, including ourselves, to be our first guests, and try out a 1-hour, solo and private appointment in The Body Room.

Brown paper was practical and affordable .. but also diffused connotations with the blank page and felt more welcoming in tone.
Plenty of water, non-toxic skin-safe paint and baby wipes have always been a feature of our supplies table.

Our guests shared generously how they found their experience ...
By this point we knew we were on to something, and started seeking spaces elsewhere ... eventually finding our way to Peckham, London.
