Renew, Rise and Thrive: Finding Your Inner Glow

At IMAGE, we know that beauty radiates from the inside out and that harnessing self-care can help us all in the face of adversity. This is why we have teamed up with skincare Aveeno® for an evening dedicated to finding our inner power. 

On Thursday, September 7, at The Dean Townhouse we will learn about the power of nourishing your body from within with expert guidance on holistic wellness, self-care rituals, and embracing a positive mindset. We will discover the tools, techniques, and wisdom to allow you to nurture your mind, body, and soul as you navigate life’s challenges, leaving you inspired and equipped with newfound insights. 

After bubbles, bites and a warm welcome, IMAGE Editorial Director and host Dominique McMullan will introduce Zoe Holohan to the stage for an intimate and honest chat. Zoe is a beacon of strength and resilience and her story of overcoming tragedy and finding resilience offers a powerful testament to the human spirit.

We will also say hello to Laura Dowling (aka the Fabulous Pharmacist) for an informative conversation during which she will share her wisdom and insights on fuelling and protecting your body to give it the best shot at life. She will provide practical tips and guidance for navigating life’s challenges and how to best look after your body, no matter the circumstance.

Finally, the evening will close with a magical sound bath led by Emma West. This meditative experience will rejuvenate and restore, creating a space for ultimate relaxation and self-reflection to send you home on cloud nine.

Meet the Speakers

Zoe Holohan, Best Selling Author, Survivor, Motivational Speaker and Columnist

On July 23, 2018, Zoe Holohan and her husband of four days, Brian O’Callaghan Westropp, were caught up in the Greek wildfire disaster that was eventually responsible for 102 deaths. Tragically, that toll included Zoe’s beloved Brian. What unfolded was a life-altering year during which Zoe found herself not only fighting for her life, having sustained third-degree burns all over her face and body, but also struggling to cope with the devastating loss of both her soulmate and her father, who passed away three weeks after the fire.

In an attempt to make sense of it all, she wrote a deeply revealing memoir, As the Smoke Clears. Her story of survival, conquering immense challenges and discovering a path to renewal, received rave reviews and went straight to number one in the Nielson book charts. Today, Zoe considers herself extremely lucky to be alive. She has chosen to use her tragic experiences to inspire and motivate people at a time when the world is in a constant state of flux and many are suffering from loss or sudden changes in circumstances.

Speaking with enthusiasm, humour and a zeal for life, Zoe’s talks are both thought-provoking and inspirational, focusing in particular on motivation, overcoming obstacles, bereavement, mental health issues and restarting life after enduring a tragedy or a major life change.  Zoe has extensive media experience. She writes for the Irish Independent and has been interviewed on numerous TV and radio programmes such as The Late Late Show with Ryan Tubridy, Ireland AM with Alan Hughes, Matt Cooper’s The Last Word and more.

Laura Dowling, Pharmacist, CEO and founder of fabÜ Wellness

Laura Dowling (@fabulouspharmacist) is a pharmacist, a mum, an influencer and a CEO. During this event, she will help demystify female health topics such as heavy periods, night sweats, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, miscarriage, fibroids and period pain.

Laura says: “We have come a long way with regard to education about women’s bodies, however, we still have a way to go. Women and girls need to be empowered to speak frankly and without shame about their body parts and bodily functions – this should start from babyhood. Boys need to be part of this conversation too! I see misinformation out there on a daily basis generally perpetuated by social media. How do we change this? By having these types of conversations regularly.”

Emma West, Sound Therapist

Emma West is a Sound Therapist, Ecstatic Dance DJ and Shamanic Practitioner from Dublin whose aim is to hold a safe space for you to pause, tune into yourself and come back to your inner harmony.

From a young age, Emma has always been deeply connected to music and sound as a way of expressing herself, but it was only through her own personal healing journey she realised the true potential that sound and vibration can have in supporting us. Her aim is to help you slow down, relax and come back to the wisdom of your heart and body through sound and shamanic practices.

Emma holds regular sound baths nationwide throughout Ireland and has been described as Ireland’s Leading Sound Bath Facilitator. Her offerings include group Sound Baths, Ecstatic Dance Ceremonies, Shamanic Healing Circles, Corporate Wellness and School Wellness Sessions. When not holding space, you can find Emma wandering through nature, tending to her allotment veggies, dancing to a feel good tune or heading on an outdoor adventure with her kids.
