(Times will be published closer to the event.) What GLP-1 Really Does to Your Skin Speaker: Marc McKee (Founder and Director | ELASTIK° SKIN) Marc McKee's story didn't start in a lab, it started on social media. After going public with his own GLP-1 weight loss journey, Marc built an audience of almost half a million followers and over 100 million views. But alongside the transformation came something nobody was talking about: what GLP-1 medication was doing to people's skin. Rapid weight loss, loss of elasticity, crepey, looser skin - and a skincare industry with nothing to offer them. That gap became ElastiK° Skin. In this session, Marc shares what GLP-1 medication actually does to the skin from personal experience, why conventional skincare falls short for people in body transformation, and how the Skin in Evolution™ system was developed to address it - COSMOS Natural certified, vegan, and a system specifically created for skin going through change. Whether you're on GLP-1 medication, postpartum or going through hormonal changes, this talk will give you practical insight, honest answers, and a new way of thinking about skin health during transformation. Take Control of Your Emotions How to Harness Your SUPERPOWERS! Speakers: Lorien Frank, Nuala Judge, Laura Rossborough Have you heard of OLLIE and his SUPERPOWERS? Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn about the award-winning Ollie Model of Transformational Coaching, and how it can benefit YOU, YOUR CHILD, YOUR FAMILY. Hear firsthand from a trio of Coaches trained and mentored by the creator of the Ollie Model, therapist, trainer, author, and speaker - Alison Knowles. Based right here on the island of Ireland (North and South), Nuala, Lorien, and Laura help children, teens and adults understand, manage, and take control of their emotions, rather than being controlled by them. You will hear why all of our emotions or ‘superpowers’ are a necessary part of us, with a purpose. Learn how this unique approach draws from a number of disciplines; including NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Parts Therapy, and Positive Psychology, using a strengths-based approach, story and metaphor, whilst remaining flexible, creative and fun. Your Ollie Coaches come from diverse backgrounds, with a wealth of experience, yet all work to core principles of the Ollie Model e.g. We don’t fix, we empower, there are no bad kids, all behaviour has a purpose. They will share how Ollie techniques are being used to tackle anxiety, limiting beliefs, even phobias to name a few. Nuala, Lorien, and Laura are part of an expanding network of Ollie Coaches worldwide, with growing recognition of the benefits of the Ollie Model in a variety of settings, not just private practice e.g. schools, adoption agencies, and most recently in the world of EAP’s (Employee Assistance Programs). Our Coaches will answer any questions about how the Ollie Model can work for you. Before you leave, come check out the Ollie stand (#18), and meet the Ollie Coaches in person. Chronic Pain, Anxiety, and the Nervous System It’s Not in Your Head - It’s in Your Brain Speaker: Dr Annalisa Manca (Dr Annalisa Manca Psychotherapy) Many people living with chronic pain or persistent anxiety have a sense that something deeper is driving their symptoms, something their test results don’t capture and their appointments don’t reach. They are usually right. This talk explores the connection between what we experience in life and what we feel in the body: how the nervous system responds to stress and trauma, how anxiety and physical pain are often two expressions of the same underlying pattern, and how understanding that pattern is the first step toward genuinely shifting it. Warm, accessible, and grounded in both neuroscience and clinical experience, this session is for anyone who wants to understand what their body might be trying to communicate, and what it might actually take to feel better. Obesity Care in 2026: Moving Beyond Willpower to Compassionate, Evidence-Based Treatment Speaker: Julianne Dickenson (Solutions Weight Management) Obesity is one of the most misunderstood and stigmatised health conditions in society. Despite significant advances in science, many people continue to believe that obesity is simply a result of lack of willpower. This session will explore the modern understanding of obesity as a complex, chronic disease influenced by genetics, biology, environment, psychology and social factors. Attendees will gain insight into why long-term weight management can be so challenging and why traditional approaches focused solely on eating less and moving more often fail to deliver sustainable results. The session will examine the impact of weight stigma and bias on physical and mental health and discuss how a more compassionate approach can improve outcomes and support wellbeing. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of the treatment options now available, practical strategies to support their health and desire that effective, personalised care is possible without blame, shame or judgement. Learning How to Find Out What Your Pet Really Needs Speaker: Wendie Patrick (Certified Naturopath and Photobiomodulation Therapist, Owner of Finnessiam Health) Join Wendie Patrick for an engaging and informative 30-minute presentation that will introduce pet owners to practical ways of identifying their pet's unique health needs. Wendie will demonstrate how to assess a wide range of factors that can influence your pet's wellbeing, from nutrition and supplements to topical products and environmental triggers found within the home. Through hands-on demonstration, attendees will be introduced to the basics of Applied Kinesiology as a tool for uncovering individual needs and responses.
