Don’t miss it!

Many estheticians use essential oils during a spa treatment to trigger a relaxation response or for a physiological effect that can help our client to reduce muscle tension or to ease musculoskeletal pain.
In this presentation we discuss our most primal sense – smell, and how it impacts different areas of the limbic system. These key areas of the limbic system either need to be stimulated or diminished based on the emotional state of the client. By using the correct essential oils you effectively can help improve client mood, shift emotional states, and promote psychological equilibrium.
We also address the other senses such as hearing, touch and taste, and explore them in detail so estheticians can focus on the full ‘client experience’ by engaging with all the clients senses in a positive and safe way.

Did you ever wonder why clients diagnosed with cancer usually avoid having their regular spa services once they receive a diagnosed of cancer? Have you ever considered that knowledge and experience about this disease, treatment for this disease and side effects can give your client the confidence and comfort that you modify any service they request to ensure a positive outcome for them. We will discuss appropriate handling from the minute they register for a service until they have completed the service with you, plus follow up. Your approach to this client can either stop them from coming back for more services, or your approach can welcome them back to a safe haven.

Let’s change the thinking in our industry and prepare our estheticians to welcome people with all health challenges to the spa, but to also be honest up front about what can or cannot be done.

Sugars are everywhere in our food and they have been used for a long time in cosmetics, but their uses were very simple: free sugars (glucose, rhamnose, fructose, etc.), plant polysaccharides or raw natural sources as a moisturizing exfoliant. On the other hand, over the last 5 to 10 years, their uses have become more complex and they have literally flooded the cosmetics market! Why flooded? Because it is precisely their water retention capacity, up to 1000 times their weight in water, that has made them increasingly popular.

Whether we are talking about hyaluronic acid as an injection or as a cosmetic ingredient, several forms and molecular weights are now available on the market.

Come and analyze all their skin functions and their respective level of penetration. And, do you think the Keto diet might have an impact on the hyaluronic acid in your dermis?

Did you know that over 1 million Canadians suffer from psoriasis? That represents more than 2.6% of the population that you are likely to meet. I have no doubts that each and every one of you know someone who suffer from it, because unfortunately, they really suffer! It is indeed one of the skin conditions with the most negative impact on other organs of the human body. Having had the incredible chance to do my master’s degree in research on the problem of psoriasis, I can’t wait to be able to demystify this pathology with you.

Come and study with me the pathophysiology, its impact on your care and learn more about tissue engineering which has greatly helped us to better understand this very complex pathology. Do you believe that a skin condition could also have a negative impact on the heart?

These two cutaneous manifestations, which are the most present in the population and at the level of skin care professionals, are often difficult to recognize visually because they both manifest themselves by the same clinical symptoms. In order to tell them apart, we need to better understand the cause. Is it genetic eczema or contact dermatitis?

We will study the physiopathology of eczema, to better understand the cycle of sensitization and flare-up in order to differentiate the possible causes of the rash essential to find an appropriate treatment. We will see the ways of treatment in both eventualities since the cases of eczema are still on the rise and allergic reactions represent 20 to 30% of intolerance reactions to cosmetic products.

I am convinced that you think you know the aging of the skin, since it is at the heart of the practice of aesthetics. But did you realize that sebum is heavier than water? That facial muscles help us fight gravity? That skin type will be central to intrinsic aging, but is also easily disrupted by extrinsic factors? Do you realize that the melanocyte and the hydrolipidic film are extremely important in the prevention of aging?

We will start from the biology of the epidermis and the configuration of the dermis in order to revisit more clearly all the factors involved in this aging that we all try to stop or slow down in order to better choose your exclusive protocols and the product routines offered at home.

Although the female movement is interwoven into our social world and people preach “girl power,” this mindset hasn’t penetrated business branding or the experience businesses provide to women. Very few businesses focus on elevating “interaction” so that a brand experience includes a personal connection with the consumer and addresses their genuine interests and needs. This branding disconnect is a problem not only for female consumers but also for businesses that lose potential sales and women’s loyalty.

Katie has delivered this Brand Experience keynote across all industries around the world. CustomHER Experience sends the clear message that true power comes when businesses focus on providing a brand and consumer experience that women―the world’s most influential consumers―can’t live without. When businesses start doing that―and doing it well―they can cultivate trust, build loyalty, earn referrals, and make top-line sales, and their female customers won’t want to go anywhere else.

Learning Objectives:
• Understand the physiological difference between men and women and the differences in their buying behavior
• Learn how to transform the transactional service a woman currently receives into the alluring, interactional experience she craves, Identify the gaps in your current experience Breakdown the five ways to tailor your brand experience to HER; the decision maker
• Gain clarity on how to adjust their approach when interacting with customers, and ignite a spark in their teams and companies.

If women don’t enjoy working for you, why would they want to shop or buy from you? Even today, female-friendly workplace cultures are still scarce. You should be aware that the culture you foster within your business is a direct reflection of the ease and comfort of your customers. It is in the best interest of your company to build a culture that women can get behind. If you do this, both female employees and consumers will take notice!
Do you want to offer an experience she can’t live without? Then you’d better create a culture where women want to work.

The ultimate effect is that women feel comfortable buying from you. As the saying goes, happy wife, happy life. This is the same for your organization: happy female employees, happy female consumer, happy company (and higher profits!).

There are challenges women face in the workforce that most men do not; these challenges are illuminated during Katie’s keynote. Through research, shared stories, and case studies katie helps the audience to think differently about how to create an environment she wants to work in. Audiences will lean into the Fe+Male concept, being inspired to do differently so they can cultivate a more inclusive work environment.

Learning Objectives
• How to Attract, Hire and retain more female employees
• Uncover the steps to creating a Fe+Male culture
• Analyze what is currently missing in your current work environment
• Understand the power of stories told by women

Ever wonder how a hotel receives five stars? Do you look within your industry to level up your customer experience? Katie has distilled the five actions that, once executed, will elevate the experience you provide your customer. The first thing she stresses is to look OUTSIDE your industry. Your experience competition is not the business that sells the same thing you do; your competition is the experiences that your customers have BEFORE they interact with you!

The shift from a transactional economy to a connected one cannot be overlooked! When Bain and Company surveyed 300 organizations, 80% said they thought that they delivered an exceptional experience. In reality, only 8% of their 3000 customers agreed. Katie’s captivating, science based, keynote will open your eyes and motivate your team to shift the way they look at their customers. Elevate the experience you provide through 5 easy steps that are simple, actionable, and impactful.

Learning Objectives
• Gain clarity on the difference between a transactional and interactional experience
• Understand the impact that other experiences have on your customers perception of you
• Learn how to transform the transactional service into an interactional experience customers cant live without
• Identify the gaps in your current experience
• Breakdown the five steps to executing a five star experience
