Stronger Together

 
The Regional Beauty Long Lunch is designed to unite therapists and business owners from regional towns who may not always have the same access to professional development opportunities as those in metropolitan areas. This one-day event is a celebration of collective strength and shared ambition, where regional therapists come together to learn, connect, and converse. By fostering a sense of community and mutual support, the Regional Long Lunch creates a powerful network of industry professionals who uplift one another, share invaluable insights, and spark new ideas. Together, we are stronger, and through this gathering, we empower regional salon owners and therapists to bring the highest standards of care, innovation, and expertise back to their businesses.

Karen, I just wanted to send you a quick voice note to say thank you so much for all the time and effort and patience that you have contributed to organizing the Launceston Regional Long Lunch attending the day has totally changed the way I feel about my business and also aside from being a great networking day, I've got a new business coach. So I'm working with Emelly , which is great. I've moved spaces, so I'm in a beautiful sunlit space now, whereas for the last five years, i've been in internal rooms with no windows. So I just wanted to say Thank you. You're amazing. You created such a great event. I can't wait till it comes back to Lonnie, but thank you so much because you have truly changed where my business is headed, so I appreciate you and I appreciate what you've done. Thank you so much.

Karen Geiszler

 
Like you, I’m from a regional town. We miss out on so much as we can’t always travel to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane to go to training, attend conferences or Expo, or we can’t take the whole team as we can’t afford to close our clinics for three days with no income coming in, especially solo operators.
 
That got me thinking about how I can support Regional Clinic owners & therapists to feel connected and supported with what’s happening in the industry and have the opportunity to connect with some of the industry experts that they would typically not get to connect with in a relaxed, fun but still educational way.
 
Enter, the Regional Beauty Long Lunch!
