Naomi Acheson - Professional Colour Analyst, Founder of Persona in Palette
Discovering the Science of Personal Colour
Saturday, October 25th at 3:00-3:30pm
Join Naomi Acheson, founder of Persona in Palette, for an inspiring 30-minute presentation on how colour can transform the way you look and feel. Naomi will introduce the basics of colour theory, explaining how hue, value, and intensity play a role in creating harmony with your natural features.
Through striking before-and-after examples, she will demonstrate how the right colours enhance beauty and confidence while the wrong ones can distract or wash you out. You’ll also discover how emotion clusters show the feelings and perceptions different colours evoke.
Amy Wierks - Integrative Health Practitioner
Why you still feel off—Even when everything looks “normal”
Saturday, October 25th at 1:00-1:30pm
Tired of being told your labs look fine while you’re exhausted, bloated, moody, or feeling like your body’s falling apart?
In this eye-opening session Amy will show you how a simple epigenetic hair scan can reveal the real reasons behind your symptoms—food additives and sensitivities, environmental toxins, vitamin & mineral imbalances, and more—and how to help your body heal without unnecessary food restrictions, supplement subscriptions, or Google rabbit trails.
Come see how just four strands of hair can help you finally understand what your body been trying to tell you—and give you a personalized plan for better sleep, more energy, and a body that feels calmer, lighter, and easier to live in.
