Supporting your Clients’ Mind-Skin-Health Connection by Creating a Referral System Aesthetics and inner health go hand-in-hand.

We tackle the complexities of the mind-skin-health connection through discussion of psychological conditions, gut health and how to align our clients with the most suitable industry practitioners. Leaders share advice on how to spot health concerns outside of their realm of practice, and learn tips on how to build a database of trusted neighbouring practitioners.
