Back to Self-Care is a value-based, customer focused, mission driven company.
The foundation of our work (The 5-Pillar Self-Care Framework) was developed from thousands of hours of research by our Founder Kristin Summers who designed the framework to empower people with tools and resources to take care of themselves easier.
The 5-Pillar
Self-Care Framework
Our Foundation
Kristin Summers has been called a self-care visionary for her work as the Founder and CEO of Back to Self-Care.
She developed the 5-Pillar Self-Care Framework© out of the necessity for a better way of loving yourself and practicing self-care during her recovery from postpartum depression and anxiety several years ago. The 5-Pillar
Drawing from thousands of hours of research in cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, Kristin’s approach to mindful self-care breaks it down into practical and actionable life-long skills centered at its core on self-discovery
Back to Self-Care, founded in 2020, is a family-owned general wellness company in Kansas City, Mo., committed to being an inclusive resource for personal development with our CEO’s 5-Pillar Self-Care Framework as the core of everything we do.*
“We offer hope and encouragement
for those on their path of
self-discovery, on the journey back to themselves, back to who they were before the world told them who to be.
The 5 Pillars
Physical Self-Care
Mainstream self-care focuses on physical self-care. Examples are going to the gym, drinking our water, taking our meds and resting.
Emotional Self-Care
It's not what happens to us, but how we respond and how we choose to let go and heal from those experiences. Examples of emotional self-care includes journaling, meditation, EFT Tapping and talk therapy.
Mental Self-Care
Your mind is a muscle. Flex it. We are life-long learners. Examples of mental self-care include starting a new passion project, starting back up an old hobby or reading a book about a subject that piques your interests.
Practical Self-Care
Adulting 101! Practical self-care is doing the things we need to be functional adults in society such as clean our homes, manage our finances and scheduling our doctor's appointments.
Connection Self-Care
Self-care isn't all about us. It's also how we show up in the world and connect with people and places. Spiritual, sensual and sexual self-care are subcategories or connection self-care.
What Makes Our Self-Care Products Different
Using the Power of Technology to Improve Your Well-Being
We typically scan QR codes for restaurant menus and contact information.
But what if we could scan a QR code in our home with breathing techniques to help us recenter when we are anxious? Or a QR code with a playlists that instantly boosts our mood, takes us to a meditation technique, or a EFT (emotional freedom technique) tapping video?
Let's use technology to bridge the mind, body, soul experience gap when it comes to healing and improving our lives.
Experiences Designed to Enhance Your Self-Care
All of our self-care experiences on our are crafted with multiple wellness modalities in mind.
Self-care is not a one-size-fits-all.
Our QR codes (that we are calling Positive+ Self products) are on every day items like magnets, journals, mugs to provide quick access to self-care resources so individuals can easily engage in wellness practices that promote relaxation, stress reduction and overall well-being.
The convenience encourages frequent engagement with self-care activities and helps rewire the mind to remind individuals that self-care resources are only a scan away.
The future of Our
Positive+ Self Products
While some of our products (not all) have Positive+ Self codes on them, we are consistently expanding our Positive+ Self line with new self-care experiences by partnering with wellness experts and infusing their knowledge and insights along with our own research in the self-care space.
We are currently in the process of building Positive+ Self codes into fridge magnets, wall decals, removable shower and mirror stickers and so much more!
