Named after the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica, where she was born, Nicoya Hecht is as unique as her name. She’s the co-founder of Rising Springs, a delivery water service that sources natural mineral water from a spring on a property her family owns in Batholith, Idaho. After initially turning down her husband’s suggestion that they start a business together, Nicoya jumped in with both feet after she discovered a passion for water and wellness. Today, that passion fuels a thriving company and drives her continued pursuit of knowledge.
Nicoya joins me for a quarantine chat about water source quality. We discuss why Americans like their water cold, how natural mineral water improves your health and vitality, and the practices Rising Springs follows to reduce the company’s carbon footprint. Nicoya explains what it means to be a water sommelier, and how her learning experience is informing her role as co-founder. This is a full-bodied episode about a substance we interact with every day and that many of us rarely give much thought to, and I know you’ll enjoy learning about the healing benefits of water as much as I did.
