In this week’s Mentorship Hour, Joanie sat down with Karen Meiring de Gonzalez, founder of the Electrology Committee under ABIC (Aesthetic and Beauty Industry Council of Australia) and organizer of the first-ever Australian Electrolysis Symposium.
Together, they discussed Karen’s professional journey in electrology, the development of Australia’s growing electrology community, and the importance of representation and regulation within ABIC. Karen shared her vision for uniting electrologists across Australia through education, advocacy, and professional standards — and offered a preview of the upcoming Electrolysis Symposium, where Joanie will be presenting four advanced education sessions.
The episode highlighted the power of global collaboration in advancing the field, connecting professionals across continents to raise awareness and strengthen the legitimacy of electrology worldwide.
