Meet Menno
Creating Soul Water has been a deeply personal journey into consciousness.
For many years I worked as a sales manager in the coffee and tea industries and organised dance parties in Amsterdam. I loved what I was doing, but I couldn’t help but feel that something was missing. I was building material success, but I felt disconnected from myself, my relationships, my professional purpose and nature.

For many years I worked as a sales manager in the coffee and tea industries and organised dance parties in Amsterdam. I loved what I was doing, but I couldn’t help but feel that something was missing. I was building material success, but I felt disconnected from myself, my relationships, my professional purpose and nature.
It was around this time that three major things happened; I met the woman of my dreams; I decided I wanted the freedom of becoming an entrepreneur; and I wanted to move to Ibiza. Something about Ibiza drew me; not only the life-changing moment I met my wife, Natalia, but also the incredible energy of Ibiza’s nature and people.
Following my heart, we started our own import business for an innovative tea brand, and we moved to Ibiza.
Our business started to run itself and I found myself looking for a new challenge. I decided to start a quality bottled water brand that brought together a love of fashion, design and people. I felt inspired and was learning a lot about business and relationships. But inside, I still felt like I wasn’t connected.
Going through some pretty big life lessons, I started to become more conscious. I felt like I was waking up. I started to see the impact of people on the planet, my impact on others instead of being so focused on myself.
I wanted to create something that had purpose and meaning, and would give back to the world, even in a small way. And our journey with Soul Water began.
