Today we’d like to introduce you to Tore.
Hi Tore, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I’m Tore’ Savona, a Gullah Geechee woman from the Charleston, South Carolina area whose life has been shaped by service, spirituality, movement, and a deep desire to live intentionally.
For more than 16 years, I’ve worked in healthcare as a dialysis patient care technician, caring for people during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Along the way, my own life has gone through seasons of transition, loss, growth, and rediscovery. Those experiences ultimately pushed me to look beyond simply surviving life and begin asking what it meant to truly come home to myself.
Yoga became a major part of that journey. I began practicing in 2014 and eventually became a certified yoga teacher, with a growing focus on mobility, breathwork, somatic practices, and nervous system awareness. My love for holistic wellness also led me deeper into herbalism, plant medicine, intentional living, and the ancestral wisdom that has existed in my culture for generations.
Today, I’m building a life and body of work that brings those pieces together. As a spiritual wellness guide, nervous system-focused herbalist, yoga teacher, and creator, I use movement, breathwork, plant education, storytelling, spirituality, and everyday intentional living to encourage people to slow down, become more aware of themselves, and participate in their own healing.
My work is rooted in God, grounded in ancestral wisdom, and shaped by the belief that wellness doesn’t always have to look complicated. Sometimes healing begins with something as simple as taking a breath, making a cup of tea, moving your body, setting a boundary, sitting with yourself, or choosing to live differently than you did yesterday.
More than anything, this chapter of my life is about returning to who I am, honoring where I come from, and using what I’ve learned along the way to help other people find their own way home.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but I think that’s also what has shaped me into the woman I am today.
I’ve spent most of my adult life caring for other people. I’ve worked in healthcare for over 16 years, and while that work has taught me compassion, patience, and how to show up for people during some of their hardest moments, there were times when I realized I wasn’t always giving myself that same level of care.
I’ve also experienced major personal transitions, including the ending of my marriage, having to redefine what home, purpose, and identity looked like for me, and realizing that sometimes the life you planned isn’t necessarily the life you’re meant to stay in.
There have also been moments professionally where I questioned what was next for me. I knew I loved healthcare, but I also knew there were other parts of me—yoga, herbalism, spirituality, creativity, and teaching—that I could no longer ignore. One of my biggest struggles has been learning that starting over doesn’t mean you failed. Sometimes it means you finally listened to yourself.
Through all of those seasons, I’ve had to learn how to slow down, set boundaries, trust God, reconnect with my roots, and become more intentional about how I live my life.
So no, the road hasn’t always been smooth. But I don’t think I would remove the difficult parts. They gave me perspective, deepened my compassion, and ultimately became part of the reason I’m able to do the work I’m doing today.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
My work is really centered around helping people come back home to themselves—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually\.
I’m a certified yoga teacher, spiritual wellness guide, nervous system\-focused herbalist, and content creator, as well as my service in the community through healthcare \. My approach brings together movement, breathwork, nervous system awareness, herbal education, spirituality, and intentional living\.
A lot of what I teach comes from things I’ve had to practice in my own life\. I talk openly about learning to recognize what your body is communicating, slowing down before reacting, setting boundaries, moving emotions through the body, and creating simple rituals that help you feel more grounded\. That might look like breathwork, yoga and mobility, spending time in nature, journaling, prayer, or learning how different plants and herbs have traditionally been used to support wellness\.
I’m also continuing my education in herbalism and traditional plant knowledge because honoring the wisdom that came before us is very important to me\. As a Gullah Geechee woman with Native American and German ancestry, I’m interested in understanding both the science behind wellness and the ancestral knowledge surrounding plants, movement, food, and spiritual practices\.
What I’m most proud of is that I’m building something that actually reflects who I am\. For a long time, the different parts of me felt separate—the healthcare professional, the yoga teacher, the spiritual woman, the herbalist, the storyteller and creator\. Now I understand that they were never separate\. They are all pieces of the same purpose\.
What sets me apart is that I don’t present wellness as perfection\. I’m still living it, learning it, and practicing it myself\. I’m not interested in telling people that one herb, one yoga pose, or one spiritual practice is going to fix their life\. My goal is to give people tools, education, and perspective that encourage them to become active participants in their own well\-being\.
Ultimately, I want my work to remind people that healing doesn’t always require becoming someone new\. Sometimes it’s about slowing down long enough to remember who you were before the world told you who you had to be.
What’s next?
I’m honestly looking forward to expansion—not necessarily in the sense of doing more, but becoming more intentional about what I’m building.
After so much time working In healthcare, one of my biggest goals is to gradually transition into my wellness work full-time. I’m continuing my education in herbalism, traditional plant knowledge, nervous system health, mobility, and therapeutic approaches to yoga so that I can continue growing both personally and professionally.
I’m also developing my online wellness studio “Solune” , where I want to bring together herbal wellness, movement, nervous system education, and intentional living in a way that feels accessible and grounded. I see it eventually becoming a space where people can learn practical tools for supporting their well-being, whether that’s through plant education, personalized wellness offerings, yoga, mobility, breathwork, workshops, or community experiences.
Another thing I’m really excited about is building community. I’ve learned that healing can be deeply personal, but it doesn’t always have to happen alone. I want to create more spaces—both online and in person—where people can have honest conversations about life, spirituality, self-awareness, and what it actually looks like to grow.
I’m also looking forward to traveling more, learning directly from different traditions and teachers, spending more time in nature, and continuing to reconnect with the ancestral knowledge that has influenced the way I view wellness.
Ultimately, I’m not trying to rush into the next version of my life. That’s actually part of what intentional living has taught me. I’m allowing what I’m building to grow organically while staying rooted in God, purpose, and service. I’m excited to see where that leads.
