In the years since we launched Liv Magazine, we’ve been amazed by the continuing evolution of Hong Kong’s wellness industry. Through protests, pandemics and beyond, the resilience of the industry shows that more people than ever are waking up to the importance of wellbeing in our everyday lives. For this, we have women to thank. Female founders, specialists and entrepreneurs form the backbone of this city’s wellness scene, and if it weren’t for their inspirational messages, grit and bravery, Hong Kong’s wellness landscape would be very different.
In tribute to these amazing ladies, we asked our community to nominate who they think should be named Hong Kong’s Women of Wellness. We were bowled over by the response – more than 1,800 nominations in the space of 10 days – and from there we read through every nomination to come up with a final list of 100 women who have been recognised by their peers in the community as leaders in wellbeing.
We also have in-depth interviews with some of the key players on Hong Kong’s wellness scene; read their insights below:
