There comes a time in life when we feel a gentle thrill: the thrill of a new beginning. An opportunity to take a fresh look at what has been—not to erase it, but to honor it while opening the door to what might be.
Turning the page to a new chapter is never a trivial decision. It involves acknowledging what no longer fulfills us and listening to that little inner voice that whispers that change is necessary. It’s not always comfortable, because it pushes us to step outside our familiar routines (see our previous article). But it is in this transition from one phase to another that the true essence of awakening and growth lies.
The comfort zone is a space where we feel safe, a place where our actions are familiar and our values are in balance. Contrary to what we often hear, it is not a bad thing. In fact, it is essential.
Life is full of signs that show us it’s time for a change. But we still need to know how to recognize them. Among them:
These signs are not insignificant. They invite us to take a step back and listen to what our hearts and minds are trying to tell us.
Turning the page to a new chapter means, above all, listening to yourself. It means taking the time to reconnect with your deepest desires and values. It can be difficult at times in a fast-paced world, but our intuition already knows what’s best for us. It’s that silent guide that pushes us forward, even when we have doubts.
It’s not about denying the past. Every chapter that came before has its place and has helped shape who we are today. But embracing a new beginning also means giving ourselves the chance to write a story that’s more in line with our current aspirations.
How to Spa Tip: Ask yourself the right questions:
These answers provide valuable clues to understanding what you need. Listening to your intuition also means accepting that growth is an integral part of life.
Once we’ve identified this need for change, the next key step is to take action. This might be a bold decision, such as a new project, a move, or a career change. But it could also involve small adjustments: a new routine, a different way of thinking, or even simply taking a step back.
Our intuition plays a vital role here: it guides us toward what is good for us, even when doubts and fears hold us back.

Every step, no matter how small, brings us closer to this new version of ourselves.
How to Spa Tip: You can rethink your routine to include activities that nourish you mentally and emotionally. It can be as simple as starting a meditation practice or setting aside time for yourself each week. You can also try our tutorials, such as the “At-Home Spa Cocooning” video tutorial—available for free starting at the end of this year—which is designed to guide you every step of the way.
Why not explore new opportunities to try new things, even if they seem small or insignificant at first? Sometimes, a simple decision can pave the way for bigger changes.
Changer de chapitre, c’est accepter qu’il y aura des moments de doute. Mais c’est dans ces moments que vous apprendrez le plus sur vous-même.
A Message from the Founder, Maud:
“At How To Spa, this realization came naturally. After eight years of supporting you in your wellness rituals, I felt the call to evolve and reinvent the way we support you. 2024, like for many, was a trying year—both professionally and personally—marked by challenges and exhaustion. But I see every challenge in life as a blessing in disguise. Because through these difficult moments, these doubts and misunderstandings, life gently leads us to face what needs to be changed.
For me, it meant slowing down as the year came to a close, despite the pressure to meet revenue targets. It was a powerful period of self-reflection, following a period of exhaustion, that finally gave me the courage to turn the page and embrace that inner voice that has been calling to me for several years now—to create tools even more aligned with a deep spirituality. It meant finding the confidence to share even more about myself, in order to help you on your journey toward spiritual awakening.
Starting in 2025, I’m embarking on a new chapter, guided by a more comprehensive vision of well-being. While our Relaxation Kits marked a significant milestone in the history of How To Spa, they will now give way to support programs designed to meet your current needs. With the help of practices such as Pranayama Yoga breathing (a pioneer in breathwork), Guided Meditation, and Somatic Practices to regulate the nervous system—practices in which I am currently training—my goal will be to guide you through a wellness ritual that combines a love of the spa with spiritual awakening.
I want to offer you something more specialized than just wellness coaching (which, it must be said, is starting to saturate the market ^^). These programs will be aimed at a very specific audience—one that will identify with a focus on preventing mental and physical burnout. I don’t want to reveal too much just yet, since I’m currently in the midst of market research and training, but what I can tell you is that these programs will serve as a catalyst to help you regain confidence in yourself and in life. You’ll finally take the time to care for yourself and your mental well-being, with support tailored to your schedule to make the practice as realistic as possible. You won’t be overwhelmed by a list of exercises to do, but rather by a support system designed to ensure your schedule incorporates these practices.
I have so much more to share with you in 2025!
Stay tuned”
