As seen in NewsHeads

Pause Rituals was featured in NewsHeads in a powerful editorial exploring why modern self-care often fails — and why burnout cannot be healed by products alone.

The article challenges the idea that self-care is something to consume or optimise, pointing instead to the importance of slowing the nervous system, creating safety, and reconnecting with the body.

Pause Rituals was highlighted for its philosophy that true rest comes from intentional pauses, sensory grounding, and emotional presence — not from adding more to already full lives.

The feature reinforces the brand’s belief that healing begins when women are given space to soften, pause, and listen inward — without pressure to fix or improve themselves.
