Speaker Spotlight: Stephanie Greenwood



A few years ago I bought something called 'Pit Putty'. I was a little skeptical - natural deodorants tend to have a bad reputation. To my delight, the stuff worked! From then on out, I was hooked on Bubble and Bee.

Imagine how happy we were when the owner, Stephanie, agreed to present at the conference!

If you've never tried any Bubble and Bee products, you are missing out. Not to mention the packaging is just fantastic and fun.

Stephanie is teaching 2 classes:

Top Ten Chemicals in Personal Care Products to Avoid

Xenoestrogens: What They Are, How They Affect You, and How to Avoid Them.

Both highly important topics. We are saturated in synthetics in our daily lives, and if people only knew how they were affecting their lives they would make better choices. Luckily there are some great alternatives to all the "stuff" we are being exposed to!

Stephanie says
:

"
We're dedicated not only to making the purest products around, but educating people about the dangers of chemicals in personal care products. "

We owe it not only to ourselves, but also our children and teens (who are more exposed to these synthetics in my opinion) to learn what we can do to reduce the ill effects of these chemicals on our systems!

Come Check Out Our Vendor Map!


I love love love vendors at conferences, and boy do we have some great ones already!

Because vendors are being added daily, the vendor pages are always changing, and it's exciting! Come see who we have lined up already.

There is still some space left if you are interested in becoming a vendor. We have some pretty affordable options too?

Need a small space for chair massages or selling greeting cards? We have that.

Need a larger space for all your many wares? We have that, too, but they are almost all gone, so hurry?

Need a space in between? Come take a look!

Speaker Spotlight: Pam Udy


“Every woman should feel supported in her births and empowered through those births to become a strong, beautiful mother.”


I was so excited when Pam agreed to speak at the conference. Having been a birth junkie for the past 14+ years, I had heard Pam's name floating around for years and years. If you are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant, you HAVE to go to Pam's classes! The one on VBAC especially is one not to miss, whether you've already had a cesarean or not.

Pam and her husband were married in the Manti Temple (almost) nineteen years ago. They have five children ranging in age from 17 to 6. The first two were scheduled cesareans at 38 weeks due to impatience and ignorance. The next three were natural, vaginal births, with one being born at home.

Pam spends her days being with her children, having fun, learning, teaching, growing, cleaning, reading and laughing. “Homeschooling is the greatest joy and the greatest challenge rolled up in one big eggroll.”

Pam has a late night, part-time job doing housekeeping in the Salt Lake Temple. “I’m doing a little different work than you usually do when you come to the temple, but the Spirit is always there. It is wonderful, while vacuuming, to tune into the Spirit. It is a blessing to be in the Lord’s house several times a week.”

Pam loves to read everything ‘of good report’. She especially loves anything LDS or birth related. She also loves to write and recently started her own blog: thepersonalexperienceexpert.blogspot.com.

Pam is a woman who believes in claiming her age (she’ll be 39 at the conference). “Claim it and be excited. Each year is a blessing from God. Every year has brought me new experiences, new growth, new learning.”

Speaker Spotlight: Julia Holt


What can I say about Julia except that she is awesome, inspirational, and gifted! I've known Julia for many years now and she's been such a great mentor! You are going to love her.

Julia is the mother of 7, and understands all the struggles and challenges that come along with incorporating a healthy and raw lifestyle with a growing family!
This is one thing that makes her so endearing, you can identify with her! She's been there AND done that. As a result of health issues she looked for a way to heal herself holistically; she educated herself and found natural paths to wellness through Living Food, Raw Cooking, Herbal Remedies and Essential Oils.

Not only is she a mother and doula, she is also a raw food coach and teaches classes. Also
as an herbal healer, Julia is knowledgeable about herbs and their uses. From tinctures to teas and poultices to potpourri, she can save someone from overused and ineffective modern medical cures.

Juia's classes are:
Living Food and the Living Word: Raw Food Diet and the Scriptures
Raw Food Demo and Q&A (yum!)
Nurturing Ourselves and Our Families Through Herbs, Oils and Raw Foods
Pass the Sugar, Please! Sugar Alternatives

Here's some feedback from happy clients:

Julia’s a raw foodie with mad skills (especially in the "cake" department) who's always willing to help when there's a need. A life-learner and promoter of health & wellness, she’s devoted to helping others while gaining knowledge that will benefit her family for generations to come.”

Like a spring breeze, she’s always refreshing and invigorating to be around; I always learn something when I talk to her. She can work magic in the kitchen.”
