Hello, I’m Dr Tory

A Nervous system & longevity expert. I’m a Mum of four beautiful girls, a big part of how I work comes from that.

Life isn’t slow or simple. It’s full. It’s a constant balance of holding a lot, family, purposeful work, responsibility, while still trying to feel like yourself in your own body.
I understand what it’s like to be “on” all the time, and what it feels like when your body starts to push back.

I help high-performing women move from burnout to feeling calm, clear, and back in their bodies. Not through quick fixes, but by understanding how their body actually works, and what it needs to function properly and feel safe.

I’ve always been deeply curious about the body, all the layers to our health and how everything connects; emotions, patterns, physical ailments and disease.

That curiosity led me into Exercise Science, Chinese medicine and functional health with over 20 years of clinical practice. Over time, I started to see a pattern.

Women were doing more, trying more, following all the right advice, and still feeling exhausted, flat, or out of balance. Because most approaches were missing the foundation: the nervous system, what I believe to be the root cause.

When your body is constantly in a state of stress, it doesn’t matter how “perfect” everything else is, it will keep overriding it.

My work now brings everything together. Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture, functional testing, breath work, spirituality and longevity science, all integrated into one approach. About understanding what your body actually needs, and working with it in a way that feels sustainable.

My work has grown far beyond clinical practice. It’s about reaching a wider audience and helping people reconnect with their bodies, restore their energy, and build a way of living that actually supports them long term.

LUM8 WELLNESS

Through this work, I also started to see something else.

It’s not just what we do for our health that matters, it’s the environment we’re living in every day.

The light we’re exposed to. The way we wind down.
The signals our body is constantly receiving at home.

That’s what led my husband Ben and I to create LUM8 Wellness. Over the years we started creating small daily rituals in our home - better lighting at night, tools for recovery and moments to reset our nervous system as a family. The difference was so powerful.

After years of learning, testing and refining what actually works, those rituals became the wellness tech products we now share through LUM8.

What started in my home is now something I hope will support yours.
