Women's Wellness & Wisdom Speaker Series

Please join us for another inspirational Sisterhood speaker series with women who are living their purpose and making an impact in wellness and the world!

Sisterhood Mantra:

We believe one woman can create a ripple, but collectively we will generate a ground swell. We are passionate about women’s empowerment through networking, mentorship, enrichment, and education. Every woman faces battles she can’t win alone. Together we lock arms to help each other rise to be our best version of ourselves.

About our Keynotes:

Melanie Petschke is a board-certified family nurse practitioner with a passion for disease prevention. She has spent the last decade studying the emerging research surrounding the potential health implications of environmental toxin exposure. She feels quality nutrition, exercise, and other proactive preventative behaviors are important to health, but ultimately living a lifestyle that reduces the cumulative toxic burden to the body is a critical component.

Kelly Kreusler has always been passionate about living a healthy lifestyle. After experiencing cancer in her family, she began to take a closer look at the toxins in her environment and was horrified by the potentially harmful ingredients she found in her daily beauty routine. She began looking for safer cosmetic options only to be disappointed by their performance and frustrated by misleading marketing. Kelly believes women deserve quality products that perform, without compromising their health.

Kelly & Melanie will share how following their purpose has created a meaningful movement and community that has transformed their lives.

They will inspire you to live your purpose and surround yourself with people who lift you higher.

About Crunchi Crunchi cosmetics was founded in 2015 and has grown to a community of hundreds of thousands of women around the country. Both Kelly and Melanie believe women deserve quality products that perform, without compromising their health. They are advocates of reducing the cumulative toxic burden that many cosmetics provide, to enhance disease prevention and promote healthier living. They are proud to be a brand that empowers women all over the country through their Advocate-based program while providing safe options that actually perform.
