female entrepreneurs are coming together to share stories of business ownership, learn actionable strategies to scale, and connect with the best of the best in aesthetics & wellness.

TAKE A MOMENT AND ANSWER THIS QUESTION HONESTLY:

Do you feel fully equipped to operate, scale, and sustain your rapidly growing business?

Your aesthetics or wellness business is in high demand, yet your entrepreneurial journey feels lonelier than ever before. You attend industry events craving education, training, and inspiration, yet leave feeling more overwhelmed and less connected

HERE’S WHAT ELSE WE KNOW TO BE TRUE ABOUT YOU:

You’re an ambitious woman of excellence who’s capable of reaching (and even exceeding) your goals for business & beyond.

You simply need access to a different style of support, education, and network that will empower you to get there…

MEET AN alternative KIND OF INDUSTRY EVENT

Strategy expands beyond revenue into ownership thinking, investing, and building long-term personal wealth

Innovation in aesthetics, longevity, and regenerative medicine is explored through a forward-looking clinical lens

The transition from provider to CEO is examined through real-world experience and honest dialogue

OUR TEAM IS KNOWN FOR HELPING PASSIONATE WOMEN IN AESTHETICS & WELLNESS BUILD WORLD-CLASS BUSINESSES

“Working with Kaeli and her team has transformed everything about the way I run my business and experience entrepreneurship. Every second spent with them is filled with golden nuggets of wisdom and inspires endless growth for me personally & professionally.”

“I can't even count the number of valuable ideas I gained this weekend. This was the first conference where I truly felt comfortable. I really enjoyed the entire experience and would love to attend again next year. Thank you so much!”

"The most valuable idea I learned was the importance of creating a success blueprint and recognizing that I need to offload certain tasks to achieve my goals. This was an amazing experience! Being in a room with other leaders who are more successful than I am was truly inspiring. The reassurance and knowledge I gained were immeasurable."

"After two years in business solo, I’m about to open a practice with employees. This conference taught me so much about structuring my business and leading a team. Being around women who shared both failures and successes normalized so much for me. We’re all in this together."

"I had the privilege of sitting with some incredible women who inspired me deeply. This conference has reinvigorated my commitment to both personal and professional growth, and I can’t wait to implement what I’ve learned."

“I really appreciated the workshops to get me thinking about operational systems that are necessary to build a solid foundation for my business. The ALT Experience was EXACTLY what I needed at this time in my life to feel understood and heard. For the first time in 2 years since buying my business I didn’t feel alone! I now have people I feel like I can turn to for idea sharing and resources to be a better business owner.”

“Kaeli, you and your team truly outdid yourselves with this conference! It was exactly what I needed. Keeping it small and personal created an intimate environment that really kept me engaged. I can’t thank you enough for breaking the mold of the typical conference. Everything was relevant and applicable, and I’m excited to take what I’ve learned and begin implementing it in my next team meeting. Thank you for thinking outside the box and making this a reality!”

"This event changed my life for the better! I met incredible women who I know will be lifelong friends. Despite the work ahead of me, I feel a sense of peace for the first time in a long time because I now have a clear mission, vision, and a roadmap to achieve my goals. Thank you, Team KLC!"

"I’ve realized that it's perfectly okay to reengineer my business and that the 'J-curve' is a natural part of the journey toward growth and success. It’s incredibly reassuring to know that other inspiring women have faced similar challenges—now I feel more empowered than ever to move forward! I’ve never felt so seen, understood, and supported. This weekend has left me deeply inspired. Thank you, Kaeli and team, for pouring your heart and soul into this experience. It was truly extraordinary!"

"The most valuable takeaway for me was the importance of Mission, Vision, and Values, and how to bring these core principles back to better lead my team. The SOPs workshop made creating processes to reach our BHAGs feel much less intimidating. This weekend exceeded my expectations! I filled pages with notes, made invaluable connections, and left feeling ready for what’s next. Thank you!"

"I came seeking clarity, and I found it in a way I never expected. The deep, thought-provoking conversations opened my eyes to fresh perspectives. Thank you to the entire KLC Team—this experience meant the world to me!"

"The most valuable takeaway for me was learning that leadership and team development are essential to achieving your goals and success. This event has truly transformed my perspective. I’ve never been surrounded by such incredible women who are in this business for the right reasons and who I can genuinely relate to. Everyone was so accepting, non-judgmental, and the advice I received was invaluable. I was honestly nervous, but this was the most authentic experience I’ve had since opening my doors—and honestly, since being in this industry! This truly felt like therapy for CEOs."

"My most valuable takeaway from this experience was seeing my role in a new light and identifying as an ENTREPRENEUR! This realization is incredibly freeing. I plan to embrace my inner badass CEO and self and leadership role with more care and grit. I’m so impressed by everyone who is a part of KLC! This was the best investment I’ve ever made in myself. Thank you KLC from the bottom of my heart!!!”

“This experience has inspired deeper introspection and a renewed commitment to aligning my personal and professional life. With major SOP improvements and dedicated time blocking, I’m now set up to operate with clarity and focus!”

"I came to this conference feeling disheartened by recent challenges in the industry, particularly with misalignment among various stakeholders. I needed a space where I could be authentic and vulnerable, and this event delivered just that! It was a refreshing reminder that I’m not alone, and I left feeling inspired and empowered."

Meet the creator of ALT and the CEO of KLC Consulting:

KAELI LINDHOLM

After nearly a decade of teaching business growth strategy in the aesthetics industry, it’s become clear to me that what female entrepreneurs are struggling with most is an incessant feeling of loneliness. They’re facing challenges ranging from rapid growth to team management to entrepreneurial burnout— and they don’t have a space where they can safely express their feelings and strategize how to pull through. This harsh reality is incredibly alienating and holds talented women back from reaching their potential in business. The ALT Experience is where we put an end to that.

ALT stands apart from traditional conferences and masterminds by eschewing corporate sponsorships, popularity contests, and superficial agendas.

Instead, we’ve created an environment where a collective of inspiring thought leaders foster their visionary brilliance and unconventional thinking. At ALT, thinking differently isn’t just accepted — it’s encouraged. I hope you’ll join us for this inaugural event. It’s going to be a transformative and enriching experience that will make a tremendous impact on your entrepreneurial journey.

See you there, goddess!
