Voices in the conversation
Tori Holmes
Author of Beauty Water and Crossing the Swell, Wellness Entrepreneur
It would surprise you how agile we are as humans and how quickly we can adapt when given no other option.
Tori Holmes is a nutritionist, an author and wellness entrepreneur. In her early twenties, her spirit of adventure and her passion for life carried her through a grueling trip across the Atlantic in a 24-foot rowboat, as well as a very different but equally challenging adventure of facing a breast cancer diagnosis.
Both experiences have made her turn to alternative medicine traditions from around the world, and she found her way back to wellness by utilizing the power of self-care beyond sick care. She is now a passionate advocate for the importance of water and hydration, alternative ingredients, and the power of our own bodies on the path to wellness. Today, she is a well-being strategist, product developer and an ambassador for startup ventures in plant medicine.
