Our speakers

Dr. Teresa Walsh is a board-certified OB/GYN and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner with over 15 years of clinical experience, based in Hawaii and focused on the health needs of women in midlife and beyond. She's an expert in the nuances of hormone delivery systems and specializes in managing symptoms for women with complex medical histories. She currently practices at Gliss Wellness serving women across all 50 states.

Teresa will cover the basics of hormone replacement therapy — what it is, who it's for, and why timing matters. She'll break down the "why now" question that keeps so many women on the fence about starting.

Dr. Diana Kumar is a board-certified OB-GYN, menopause specialist, and obesity medicine physician with years of experience caring for women through every stage of life. She co-founded Gliss Wellness, a virtual-first women's health practice based in Hawaii, alongside Dr. Teresa Walsh, with a mission to make expert, physician-led care for menopause, hormone health, and weight management accessible across the state.

Diana will unpack testosterone's role in women's health alongside the current wave of GLP-1s and peptides — what they actually do, where the science stands, and how they fit (or don't) into a woman's hormone picture.

Dr. Rebecca Luria is a board-certified dermatologist specializing in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. She earned her MD from Georgetown University and completed her residency at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, later teaching dermatology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and serving as Chief of Dermatology at Fort Drum and Fort Meade during her time in the U.S. Army. She's practiced general dermatology in Kailua since leaving the Army in 2011 and currently sees patients at Epiphany Dermatology.

Dr. Luria will cover best practices for skincare during menopause and beyond, what to watch for regarding skin cancer, and will take audience questions.

Liv Turner is a buyer, and founder of The Style Tide, a modern approach to personal style rooted in identity, self-expression, and the Art of Becoming.

With more than two decades in the fashion industry, Liv's career has spanned styling, buying, trend forecasting, retail, merchandising, and creative direction. As the co-owner and buyer for Niu Boutique, she has developed a distinctive eye for translating trends into wearable, individual style for real women.

Today, Liv explores the deeper relationship between women and their style—especially during life seasons when their bodies and priorities begin to shift. Her approach to dressing is less about following rules and more about understanding proportion, body shape, personal expression, and the woman you are becoming.

Her philosophy is: your style isn't meant to stay the same forever. Just as the tides change, you change.

Liv encourages women to stop dressing for who they used to be and start dressing for who they are now.

Julie graduated from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa with a BA in Liberal Studies in 1999 and earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California in 2003. She began specializing in pelvic floor rehabilitation in 2004 and has continued to learn and grow alongside her patients ever since. 

She is currently in private practice in Honolulu, where she treats a wide range of patients — from post-adolescence to her oldest patient at 96 — across genders and gender identities.

Julie aims to create a space where patients feel safe to ask questions and openly discuss concerns, with the hope of facilitating healing in both the body and spirit. For this talk, she draws on more than two decades of treating pelvic floor dysfunction across the lifespan, combining clinical expertise with a holistic, whole-person approach.
