Camexpo is the UK’s leading professional complementary, natural and integrative health event. Hundreds of therapists, health practitioners and exercise professionals attend the two-day exhibition and it’s a ‘must-do’ event in the calendar.

Meet, greet, talk…repeat

This weekend proved to be a great success for both the Integrative Health Education and Parasite Testing Europe teams. Nothing beats talking to other practitioners. As much as we all love to engage via our blogs, social media channels and email, we get a great buzz from talking health with our amazing colleagues from across the industry.

And boy did we talk! Over two busy days at Olympia we chatted to over 300 practitioners, therapists and students. Manual therapists, exercise professionals, rehab specialists, nutritionists, naturopaths and energy healers; they all came to our stands to learn more.

Talking bugs

Over on the Parasite Testing Europe stand it was bug-tastic. Lots of practitioners had questions for Emma, Nicki and Graeme and we discussed symptoms, testing and of course how FREEDOM CLEANSE RESTORE can help patients recover.

Integrate your knowledge

As always we were blown away by people’s thirst for knowledge. Luckily we had the 2016 Integrative Health Education course calendar ready in time for the show. We’ve got some fantastic new courses launching, including:

Facial Tells of Dis-Ease – Building on Emma Lane’s Tells Of The ‘Dis-Eased Body’, this unique course examines how our face is a mirror for our personality and reveals what can be learnt about the health, temperament and life of a client from facial ‘tells’. It was fascinating watching Emma demonstrate her amazing knowledge, talking to practitioners about the ‘tells’ she could see and what they reveal about our health.

Di you know that the liver holds on to anger and this can manifest as physical symptoms if it is not addressed? The Emotions From Within one-day course addresses the connections between the physical and emotional aspects of wellbeing. Emma will explore how emotions are stored in the organs and the long-term health implications.

Build Your Profile with PR and Social Media – will help to take your career to the next level. This course explores the many ways that practitioners can develop a credible and interesting profile. From your online presence to tips on networking, this half-day workshop will give practitioners lots of practical ideas to implement straight away.

Content Strategy and Online Writing Masterclass is a half-day workshop that will help health practitioners and anyone working in the wellbeing and fitness sector to plan, create and curate their own online content. An essential course for anyone in today’s industry.

In print

We were all very proud to see Emma’s feature on parasites in the October issue of CAM Magazine, which was handed out at the show. The piece is the first in a series of articles we have planned for the magazine and we were thrilled to see Emma’s expertise shared in this way.

Spreading the word

A second highlight was Emma’s talk on Saturday afternoon in the Demo Theatre. The talk, Break Down the Barriers to Your Patient’s Health – Parasites, Fungi and Bacteria, examined how parasites can affect the organs and central nervous system. Testing protocols from Parasite Testing Europe were also introduced and lots of practitioners came back to the stands to find out more after the talk.

As anyone who has taken one of Emma’s courses will appreciate, the talk was very well received. The room was packed, with more practitioners squeezed in at the back and gathering around the outside of the speaker zone.

And relax….

On Saturday night the team headed out for Thai food and tequila (that’s how we roll) but wisely everyone was in bed early to put in a full day on the Sunday!

Day two…

The second show day included a meeting with Simon Martin, editor of CAM Magazine, to talk about Emma and the IHE writing more articles for the magazine. Look out for the November and December issues for more insight on parasites from Emma. We are all really grateful to CAM Magazine for their support in helping to spread the word about the wonderful world of parasites, fungus and bacteria.

Camexpo is always a brilliant way to connect with our industry. We made many new friends and look forward to working with new people as we head towards the end of 2015.

We’ll be back next year for more. See you at 2016 Camexpo!
