DUBAI: DAMAC Hotels and Resorts and Paramount Hotels proudly hosted a successful three-day event in celebration of International Self Care week, aimed at promoting holistic well-being and pampering cast members from Paramount Hotels and DAMAC Maisons. The event, which took place during the self-care week, included engaging panel discussions in the iconic Screening Room at Paramount Hotel Dubai, yoga and sound healing session at Malibu Sky Lounge at Paramount Hotel Midtown and a strengthening session hosted at the newly opened DAMAC Maison Aykon City.
The panel talk was moderated by the dynamic Laura Naylor, renowned radio presenter from Dubai92, TV presenter, and host of the ICC T20 World Cup. Laura shared her personal insights on self-care, setting the tone for an enlightening discussion.
Panelists Included:
- Rhea Jacobs: Brand Ambassador of Marc Jacobs, TEDx Speaker, and Founder of RHÉ. Rhea shared her journey and highlighted the significance of journaling as a powerful self-care tool. She emphasized, “Writing them down on paper makes it a personal and introspective process, where you learn a lot about yourself without fear of judgment. The whole journey of self-care should be happy and peaceful, where you enjoy doing something at your own pace.”
- Anastasiia Solodovnyk: Senior Digital Marketing & E-Commerce Manager at DAMAC Hotels and Resorts, who emphasized the role of digital tools and co-active coaching in enhancing self-care routines. She advised, “Take a deep breath using different breathing techniques to calm down. Then, list your tasks for the day to prioritize them effectively.”
- Nidhi Sharma: Founder of the NOUR Beauty App and former Beauty Editorial Director of Vogue India. Nidhi discussed the intersection of beauty and self-care, offering practical advice for maintaining a healthy beauty regimen. “Setting boundaries with yourself is very important. Taking care of these aspects significantly contributes to a greater glow. Putting on sunscreen is a form of self-care.”
- Sean Clancy: Co-owner of KO8 Fitness, Official Hyrox Coach, and former Pro Athlete. Sean provided valuable insights into integrating physical fitness into daily routines, regardless of busy schedules. He suggested, “Use an alarm clock and charge your phone in another room. This removes the automatic reach for your phone. Use the first 15 minutes for beneficial activities like hydration.”
The event kicked off with an inspiring opening speech by Dean Rossilli, Senior Vice President of DAMAC Hotels and Resorts, emphasizing the importance of self-care for employee well-being and the commitment of DAMAC Hotels and Resorts and Paramount Hotels to fostering a healthy and supportive work environment.

Self-care is essential for sustaining the ability to take care of and lead others.”
