Annemarie Wortman and Kimmo Jacobs are the founders of ConsumingPassions; a concept and project studio specialized in health, wellness & hospitality issues. Rooted in 25 years of seasoned experience and notable expertise our passion is develop ideas and translate trends into new wellness- and hospitality concepts, projects, strategies and events.

As industry insiders – born and raised in the world of integrative healthcare, wellness and hospitality – and loaded with experience, success and maybe a failure or two – our ambition is to contribute in the transition to a healthier and more ‘well’ world.

There has never been a better time to shape the future of wellness and to assist companies and consumers in their quest to live better and healthier lives.

In essence, wellness is about prevention and living a healthy life. However, in the last decades wellness has become a container concept and a massive and heavily commercialized market. It has been given meanings that causes sometimes confusion and discomfort.

We believe that in today’s world wellness has the power to transform the way we live our lives. It is a concept so rich with possibilities that every kind of wellness imaginable whether physical, mental, spiritual and environmental or workplace is poised to impact everything in the way we live our lives, from the products we buy to the places where we work, stay and play.

At ConsumingPassions we stay true to the health and prevention mantel but in our work we give a fresher and more contemporary look and meaning to the wellness concept.

We work closely together with an international team and network of experts, creative’s and innovators, trainers, therapists and academics with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the health, wellness and hospitality industries at large.  

Together we represent a broad range of talents and ideas, expertise and experience. We combine innovative ideas, recent research, new technologies, expert insights and experience with approaches from different perspectives to health and wellness. At the same time, we adopt perspectives and refinements from the aesthetics, rituals and approaches found in different cultures from around the world. With our highly qualified network, we can offer tailor made solutions.

If you want to be in tune with the healthy living beat and the new definition of wellness give us a call!
