SALON: Is Women’s Health Being Educated or Marketed?

In an age where information is endless yet clarity feels scarce, women are navigating their health in a world full of trends, influencers, wellness claims, and conflicting medical opinions. Many carry questions quietly. Many feel unheard. And many are still searching for knowledge they can truly trust.

This salon invites us to think critically, share openly, and rebuild a foundation of understanding around women’s health, one that blends scientific insight with the wisdom passed down through generations.

The salon will be co-guided by Emilia, Founder of VITAMARIE, a digital app that helps women reconnect with their health by making science intuitive, accessible, and actionable.

We will explore three guiding questions:
• How do we recognize truth vs. misinformation in a media landscape full of noise?
• How do we reconnect with ancestral knowledge and practices without slipping into pseudoscience?
• What modern form of "Aufklärung" (enlightenment, education, awareness) do women need today to make confident, informed decisions about their bodies?

Goal of the Salon

The goal is not to find a single answer, but to create space for honest conversation, a place where science and lived experience coexist, where uncertainty is welcome, and where women can learn from one another. This is not another health panel; it is a room for curiosity, reflection, and shared knowledge.
We hope every participant leaves with at least one insight that strengthens her relationship to her body, whether emotional, intellectual, or simply human.

Structure and Format

This salon will be guided by invited women’s health experts, thinkers and practitioners who will introduce context, frame the conversation, and gently moderate the discussion.

The evening will unfold in three parts:

Opening Perspective
A short introduction from our experts to ground the conversation in factual context while honoring personal experience and cultural knowledge.

Guided Dialogue
A collective conversation shaped around the three guiding questions: exploring media influence, ancestral knowledge, and the role of modern education in women’s health today.

Shared Closing Reflections
Participants are invited to share what resonated most, what changed their thinking, or what they wish someone had taught them sooner.
