Inspiring voices. Evidence-based education. Meaningful conversations.
Restore is bringing together a carefully selected group of speakers who understand the unique realities of women in dentistry.
Our inaugural speaker lineup will be announced over the coming months. We're intentionally selecting leaders who combine evidence-based knowledge with practical experience, and a genuine passion for supporting women in dentistry.
The Voices of Restore
Meet our First Speakers:
Dr. Nicole Thompson
Dr. Nicole Thompson, MD, FRCSC is an Obstetrician-Gynecologist, sexual medicine physician, and founder of Haven Birth Program and Gynecology in Richmond, BC. She spends her days talking about hormones, menopause, libido, vulvas, and all the topics most people were taught to whisper about.
Dr. Thompson loves turning complicated science into practical, evidence-based advice- with a healthy amount of myth-busting and humour along the way. Her goal is for you to leave understanding your hormones a little better and feeling much more comfortable talking about them.
Outside of medicine, you’ll find her horseback riding, at a heavy metal concert, or reminding people that saying “vulva” out loud won’t make the room explode.
Carmen Christensen
Carmen Christensen is a certified life coach, adult educator, and dental professional who has spent more than 20 years working alongside high performers in the dental industry. She knows what it’s like to be the one everyone counts on, the one who shows up, gives more, and keeps moving forward even when something inside feels off. After years of people-pleasing, blurred boundaries, and putting everyone else’s needs ahead of her own, Carmen’s light began to dim. She hardly recognized who she had become in both her personal and professional life. Through her own journey, Carmen learned she was not alone. Her experience became the foundation of her work today.
Carmen blends neuroscience-based practices, reflective coaching, and practical tools to help women and dental professionals understand themselves more deeply, shift old patterns, and create meaningful change.
Carmen is honoured to be a part of this retreat. She is passionate about helping you reconnect with yourself and discover that success is possible without leaving yourself behind.
When Carmen is not coaching or traveling across Canada with The Extraction Course, you’ll find her road-tripping to the mountains, spending time with her husband, their two adult sons, and their dog, Bauer, or enjoying time with friends. She is a heart-led optimist who practices what she preaches, living a life rooted in alignment, purpose, and connection.
