Join me for an authentic southern Italian experience September 8th-13th, 2026 alongside the Amalfi Coast, Italy!
We will be immersed in the southern Italian culture, activate our bodies and minds through dance, Yoga and mindfulness practices, participate in experiential cooking classes from renown local chefs, taste amazing wine, soak in the la vita semplice and more.
As your guide who has worked in Italy for over a decade, it is my pleasure to be able to lead you through experiences I have lived myself, and still want to return for more!
Retreat takeaways that you will leave with:
A deeper sense of calm
A renewed relationship to rest, pleasure and presence
3–5 personalized daily wellness rituals rooted in culture
A felt sense of belonging to yourself and our retreat community
Set along the beautiful Amalfi Coast, this 5-night cultural wellness retreat is a guided reset. If you're craving a chance to slow down and savor life's precious moments, release the burnout/hustle culture, and restore your sense of well-being, then I personally welcome you to indulge in the simple Italian lifestyle during this retreat. Then, return home with embodied practices and cultural wisdom that will reshape not only how you feel, but how you truly want to live.

What began as a creative pursuit evolved into a daily practice with later dinners, wine shared with intention, long conversations, ease of the day and a Mediterranean lifestyle rooted in presence, pleasure, and wellbeing. As a multifaceted artist, sommelier, and mindfulness teacher, she shares this way of living not as a destination, but as something to be embodied wherever you are. Her purpose is simple, to sip, savor and help you live fully with intention.
