An elevated evening of connection, self-discovery, and personal transformation designed for women ready to embody their next level and shine
About this Event

Ignite Your Essence is more than an event—it is a curated transformative soirée for heart-led women who are ready to reawaken their presence, reconnect with their inner power, and courageously step into the woman they are becoming.
In the midst of life’s demands, many women find themselves pouring into everyone around them while quietly losing connection with their own voice, presence, and evolving identity.
This evening was created as an invitation to pause… to return inward… and to remember the power of who you are beneath the roles, responsibilities, and expectations.
To honour the woman you have been…
and awaken the woman you are becoming.

Through meaningful conversations, guided self-discovery, curated transformational sessions, and an atmosphere of elegance and sisterhood, you will be held in a space intentionally designed to inspire reflection, confidence, and transformation.
This is your moment to rise with intention, reclaim your presence, and embody your next chapter with grace and courage.

MEET YOUR HOST

Anna Lolomari , Founder, Style Coach & Image Consultant | Zesty Lifestyle

Anna Lolomari is the visionary behind Zesty Lifestyle, a global styling and empowerment brand rooted in intentional living and personal transformation.

Known for her intuitive eye and ability to see beyond the surface, Anna guides women into aligning their image, presence, and personal brand with who they are truly becoming. Her work goes far beyond style—it is about self-expression, confidence, and stepping fully into one’s essence.


✨ WHY THIS EXPERIENCE MATTERS

For Anna Lolomari, Ignite Your Essence: A Transformative Soirée is deeply personal.

It was born from her own journey of becoming—navigating seasons of growth, identity shifts, and the quiet moments of asking, “Who am I now… and how do I show up as her?”

Through her work and lived experiences, Anna has seen how many women carry so much pouring into their families, careers, and responsibilities yet often feel disconnected from themselves in the process.

This soirée was created as a response to that.

A space to pause.
A space to reconnect.
A space to be seen—fully and without expectation.

It is important to her because she understands what it feels like to evolve… and not always have the space or support to honour that transformation.

Ignite Your Essence is her way of holding that space for other women.

A space where you are reminded of who you are.
A space where your presence is nurtured.
A space where your next chapter begins to unfold with intention, confidence, and grace.

Because Anna believes that when a woman reconnects with her essence, she doesn’t just change her image…
she transforms how she shows up in her life.

MEET IGNITE GUEST SPEAKER - Anjana Moitra-Ohri Bio


Anjana believes that potential is not something we discover once, it is something we continually choose.

With more than 20 years of leadership experience across multiple industries, Anjana currently serves as Vice President and Head of Human Resources at Roots.

But her work today is shaped as much by personal evolution as professional experience. After building a life and career she is deeply proud of, Anjana reached a moment where she felt called to expand what alignment and possibility meant for her embracing change, pursuing an Executive MBA at Ivey Business School and courageously stepping into a new chapter of growth.

Through her speaking and mentorship, she encourages others to question inherited definitions of success and step into the version of themselves they feel called to become turning curiosity into capability and influence into shared success.

She believes that when we give ourselves permission to evolve, we ignite possibilities not only for ourselves, but for everyone around us.

MEET EVENT PARTNER - FOUNDER SARANGHAE SKINCARE - Andrea Mourad


Saranghae and Orora Skin Science blend ancient Asian medicinal wisdom with modern anti-aging science. The story began when founder Myeong-Jo Lee set out to create a cream to heal her sister’s burn scars. Two years of trials revealed a formula that not only improved scarring but also reduced wrinkles and boosted skin firmness.

In 2016, her son Peter Lee, now CEO, and his wife Andrea Mourad launched Saranghae to share Myeong-Jo’s creations and a piece of Korean culture with the world.

Nearly a decade later, Saranghae and its sister brand Orora Skin Science have become two of North America’s most trusted and fastest-growing Korean beauty names. Beloved for their cost-effective, low-tox skincare routines, they address anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and overall skin health.

Despite their growth, they remain a family-run Canadian brand—deeply committed to exceptional customer care and delivering the very best in performance Korean skincare.
