About the Holistic Health Experience
Presented by Glass City Wellness — The Olympics of Wellness
For more than 17 years, the Holistic Health Experience has united the Toledo and Northwest Ohio community through an extraordinary celebration of whole-person wellness. What began in 2009 as a small gathering at the Holiday Inn has evolved into one of the region’s most respected and anticipated wellness events — an annual tradition dedicated to education, inspiration, and transformation.
Each year, this event brings together leading practitioners, thought leaders, and wellness advocates from across the country to share the latest in natural health, integrative medicine, and personal growth. From nutrition and emotional health to spiritual development and social connection, our mission has remained the same: to help individuals live with balance, vitality, and purpose.

Our Purpose
At Glass City Wellness, we believe that true health extends far beyond physical fitness — it’s about nurturing the mind, body, and spirit in harmony. Our mission is to make Toledo and the greater Northwest Ohio region a hub for holistic wellness, where collaboration and education empower individuals to take charge of their well-being.
Through this event, we honor the healers, innovators, and everyday individuals who dedicate their lives to helping others thrive. Every speaker, sponsor, and attendee contributes to a growing movement toward integrative health and conscious living.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to evolve, our goal remains rooted in community — to serve the people of Toledo and Northwest Ohio with compassion, integrity, and inspiration. We’re honored to stand alongside our partners and guests each year as we learn, grow, and celebrate the power of holistic health together.
