Andrew Parrillo shows you how to identify your actual risk and return preferences, then how fees compound against it. With four decades of institutional investment experience, he ran Newport Capital Advisers LLC for 25 years, managing endowment and family office portfolios, before founding Parrillo Investors LLC, a flat-fee, advice-only registered investment advisor serving clients nationally.

Respondents get a complimentary risk personal risk score for a portfolio matching their comfort level. Parrillo then walks through the five questions every investor should ask a current or prospective wealth manager, questions that require no financial expertise but reveal within minutes whether that advisor is working for the client or for the firm.

His book, Beat the Wealth Management Hustle (January 2024), details how mismatched risk profiles and ongoing fees can cost investors hundreds of thousands of dollars over an investment horizon.

What’s the biggest difference between a brilliant naturopath who struggles to fill their practice, and one who is known, trusted, sought after, and paid well for the difference they make?

It’s probably not another certification, clinical skill, or modality.

There’s a hidden-in-plain-sight skill that successful practitioners develop—and it may be the missing piece in your own practice growth.

In this engaging, eye-opening session, Ann Hession reveals why so many gifted naturopaths remain the “best-kept secret,” why traditional approaches to marketing can feel so uncomfortable (and often don’t work), and how Resonant Messaging and Magnetic Connection can change everything. You’ll discover a more natural, human way to attract patients, grow your practice, and communicate the value of what you do -- without becoming someone who feels “salesy.”

You know what needs to be done. You have the ideas, the plans and the responsibility. So why can it still feel impossible to move forward?

In this highly practical session, Claudia Tan introduces a simple approach to turning overwhelm into one clear, concrete and achievable next step.

Instead of adding another strategy to your already full plate, you will experience the process yourself. You will identify one area of your practice that currently creates pressure, discover what you really want to change, and create a next step that you can actually take.

You won’t leave with another list of things you “should” do.

You’ll leave with your Next Step – and a commitment to take it.

Many health and wellness practitioners build practices that depend almost entirely on their time. As their patient load grows, so do the demands on their schedule, eventually limiting both income and freedom.

In this presentation, Dr. Kela Smith shares how practitioners can move beyond a solely one-to-one model by turning their existing expertise into complementary revenue streams. Attendees will learn how to:

• Recognize when relying on one-to-one care is limiting profitability and freedom
• Transform clinical expertise into programs, courses, memberships, workshops, and educational services
• Create a connected offer pathway that naturally guides patients from free education to the right paid service
• Choose the right next revenue stream without trying to build everything at once

Attendees will leave with a practical framework for creating a more profitable, sustainable practice without compromising the quality of patient care.

• 80 million pain patients are suffering from pain, 28 Million in UK, 23 Million in Germany ... a quarter of the population
• The solution to this global problem is on the table ... it just needs to get known and implemented
• What is TurboAcupuncture® ... and what distiguishes it from conventional acupuncture?
• Why does TurboAcupuncture® work so fast? ... even if the pain might exists for years and decades ...
• Why can TurboAcupuncture® revolutionarize pain medicine in general? ... and has the potential to become the first line treatment for (chronic) pain and the new gold standard in pain management.
• What is needed to spread TurboAcupuncture® fast globally?

Burnout, overwhelm and chronic stress don't only show up in your patients. They show up in you, too. A nervous system stuck in alarm mode blocks healing, clear decisions and growth.

In this live session, Olympian and practitioner Elisabeth Brandau shares the neuro-switching techniques she used in elite sport and uses in her practice today. You'll do them with her during the session and feel the difference yourself.

You'll learn:

• why a "switched-off" nervous system stalls progress

• 2–3 resets based on applied neurology and acupressure that take less than 90 seconds

• how to give patients a tool they can use at home, so they stay engaged between visits

Plus: a first look at her Neuro-Training app, still in development, and an invitation to help shape it.

Creating more content isn’t necessarily the answer to growing your practice. Erik K. Johnson helps healthcare experts expand their authority beyond the limits of their practice by turning their expertise into a client-attracting podcast platform. In this presentation, naturopathic practitioners will discover why creating more content can keep them stuck, the belief shift that makes everything else finally click, and how a podcast can become an evergreen client-acquisition machine. Erik will show how healthcare experts can become recognized authorities without constantly posting, chasing algorithms, or burning themselves out. The goal is to help practitioners become the go-to voice in their field and consistently attract premium opportunities without the limitations of geography and frustrations of insurance.

Many successful practice owners generate strong revenue but still wonder, “Where does all the money go?” The answer isn’t always seeing more patients, adding more appointments, or working longer hours.

In this practical session, Jillian Verdun will guide practice owners in uncovering what may be preventing them from keeping more of what their practice earns. Attendees will discover how everyday business decisions affect their bottom line and identify opportunities to improve their financial results.

They will leave knowing what to examine in their practice, what may need to change, and where to focus first to create stronger financial results without adding more work to their already busy schedule.

I am sharing two of The 9 Money Rules Millionaires Use. These are powerful techniques that you can put into use immediately after listening to the presentation. Remember Information without Implementation is just Entertainment!

What if the person sitting across from you isn't ignoring you, resisting you, or overthinking it? What if they simply process information differently than you do?

You’ll discover how invisible conversation patterns show up in your communication with patients, team members, colleagues, and business partners. You’ll learn how to recognize these differences, avoid common communication misreads, and adjust how you communicate so people can actually hear and respond to what you mean.

Because sometimes the communication problem isn’t what you said. It’s what happens in the space between what you said and how they process it.

Your bank account is not random.

It's a reflection of the programming running beneath your success.

Healers and helpers are often the worst at receiving. Trained to give. Conditioned to put everyone else first. And quietly leaving money on the table as a result.

If your income still isn't matching your potential — this talk will show you exactly why.

You'll walk away understanding:

• Why working harder never breaks the ceiling
• Why undercharging and overgiving are identity patterns — not pricing problems
• Why you have to expand who you're being before you'll see different results

Most people leave this talk finally understanding why nothing else has worked. And what does.

When business starts to feel heavier, more confusing, or more draining than it should, the answer is not always another strategy or productivity plan. Samantha Rines O’Dell helps purpose driven entrepreneurs uncover three common sources of misalignment: nervous system strain, self abandonment, and growth that no longer reflects who they are becoming. Participants learn how these patterns can quietly affect decisions, visibility, consistency, and capacity, and leave with practical steps to reconnect their business with their values, energy, and purpose so growth can feel clearer, more sustainable, and more aligned.

Being highly qualified isn’t enough if the people who need your expertise don’t know you exist. In this practical, education-focused session, Emmy-winning TV news producer and media strategist Stacia Crawford will show you how to turn your existing expertise into media opportunities that build trust and credibility. Attendees will learn how to identify timely, media-worthy topics, position themselves as expert sources journalists want to interview, and communicate their value in a way that resonates with both the media and potential patients. The session will also cover how to recognize what makes a story newsworthy and how to begin building a visibility strategy without relying solely on social media. Attendees will leave with practical steps they can use immediately to become more visible, credible, and discoverable.

Health practitioners are carrying unprecedented cognitive, emotional and energetic loads — while also supporting clients whose nervous systems are increasingly dysregulated.

In this session, attendees will learn how holistic nourishment, targeted amino acids, nutrient timing, and nervous system regulating practices create the physiological conditions for clarity, emotional equilibrium, and sustainable energy. These tools not only improve client outcomes by reducing overwhelm, increasing compliance, stabilizing mood, and optimizing well-being, they also help practitioners embody the regulated presence required for effective leadership, reduced burnout risk, and greater freedom within their practice.

This is a practical, embodied framework that supports better care and better wellbeing for everyone involved.

Grow Your Revenue. Attract Your Ideal Patients.

What if patients understood your approach and trusted you before their first appointment?

In this practical presentation, Susanne Luehrig explores how authentic storytelling can help you attract patients who value your services, arrive better informed, and need less explanation before choosing your practice.

Discover how your experiences, values, and everyday interactions become meaningful content for your website and social media. Susanne introduces her “Story Vault” approach: a reusable collection of real stories that gives your communication a personal foundation, including when using AI.

Through a guided exercise, you’ll uncover your first story and learn how to make your expertise more relatable.

The session also explores how revisiting your professional journey can strengthen your sense of purpose and pride in your work. Leave with practical ideas for clearer communication, stronger patient connections, and a practice that better reflects the work you love.

We all have something we know we should change. A habit, a relationship, chronic stress, emotional patterns, unhealthy behaviors, or simply the feeling of being stuck. But if we know something is not good for us, why do we continue doing it?

This provocative talk takes you into the neuroscience behind acceptance, repetition, and behavioral patterns. You will discover why the brain often prefers familiar discomfort over unfamiliar change — and why willpower alone rarely solves deeply established patterns.

Dr. Yvonne Ritze reveals how automatic neural processes influence our daily decisions, emotions, and behaviors, often without conscious awareness.

You will learn how small, targeted interventions can interrupt automatic patterns and create opportunities for new responses.

For practitioners, this perspective offers a valuable additional tool: understanding why patients may struggle to implement what they already know — and how neuroscience-based approaches can support meaningful, sustainable behavioral change.
