Seminars
Many people want to live a more full, happy, and healthy life, but often don’t know where to start.

Each one takes place in a small, welcoming group setting, with speakers who are certified practitioners and experts in naturopathy, chiropractor, fitness, nutrition, yoga, mindfulness, holistic medicine, and more.

My Story and Passion...
My philosophy in life? If you truly want something and believe in yourself, anything is possible!
The Health and Wellness Seminars were born out of my passion for holistic living and helping other people. I started my personal journey of transformation approx. 10 years ago by incorporating clean eating, exercise, meditation, and personal development into my regular routine. Today, I am amazed by the positive impact on my life. I know myself better as a person…I feel happier, healthier and energized!
Even as more people learn about the importance of self-care and living a healthy lifestyle, one of the biggest hurdles is knowing where to begin. Having gone through this myself, I understand how intimidating it can all feel. These seminars are designed to give you real and practical tools to start making changes in your life.
Check out the details on our upcoming seminars above, plus photos and reviews from previous events below. For more information, please contact me.
I hope you’ll join us at our next seminar!

Variety of presenters but still on a common theme Set-up was great and very organized.
It was inspiring, informative, fun and food was great.
All the presentations were good and the information provided was useful. I liked having yoga to start the day and the exercise after lunch to get us moving.
It was so cool how a common theme – Self Care from all presenters.
High energy, great food, presenters were very knowledgeable.
Excellent event.
Everything was so professionally done, the food was great, the timeline was right on point.
Everyone was so interactive.
Great to be in front of a group of people who actually want to learn about health and wellness.

Feedback on Spring Into Wellness
Thank you Kim!
It was a really awesome day. Great work!
Kim..!!!
All of us thought it was absolutely THE best. Each speaker provided a wealth of knowledge and you certainly out did yourself. It was more than we ever thought it could be packed into all of that time! thank you thank you thank you. You made our day!
The Seminar that we attended was fantastic and worth every minute!
I personally learned so much with Brian, Andree (loosen up) Jo (simplify your life) Denise, Martina (blood lady), Tamara, Veronica (yoga proper). So much was packed into such a nice atmosphere. I am so glad I went because typically I am a procrastinator. Kim thank you for making a day that is totally about me (which I love).
Fantastic experience at the Spring into Wellness event!
The event ran so smoothly and all the speakers were fabulous. So informative. Can’t wait for the next one!
Well done Kim!
Just attended the Spring into Wellness Seminar that was organized by Kim Torrance Services. The seminar was well planned and the speakers were very knowledgeable and inspiring.
