Welcome,dears! After thirteen long years of traversing the globe, learning different languages and cultures, living in Australia, Cambodia, Germany and Spain, travelling throughout South-East Asia and Europe, I find myself back in my home country with a wealth of experience, ready to embark on a new chapter, filled with promise, love, charm and a lot of hope.
I have been dreaming to start retreats for a long time and I have the great feeling that this is the right time to welcome a new adventure. I moved with my beautiful family, my husband Luca and my daughter Gaia Victoria, to Tuscany and it already feels right, making meaningful connections, buying organic produce from little farms of the area, and creating a new life that we hope will endure for a while! Now we also have adopted a beautiful dog, called Nena.
This time, however, I'm thrilled to extend an invitation to all of you, my dear readers, to join me in experiencing the beauty and magic of this remarkable land.
Together, let's make Italy your home away from home in a journey like no other.

Teaching and learning Italian in Italy
I'm so excited to teach again in Italy where my students can really immerse themselves in the beauty of the language and the culture. From basic greetings to mastering conversational skills, our retreat will provide the opportunity to not only enhance the language skills but also connect with the Italian culture on a deeper level.
It's exhilarating to think that following the retreat, the students will be able to apply what they have learned out in the real world!
Nourishing the Body
At the heart of my retreats is the concept of nourishing body and soul but also engage in rejuvenating activities that will allow us to feel, reconnect, and invigorate your spirit. Whether it's energizing yoga sessions or relaxing in the serene Tuscan countryside, you will have the chance to move, breathe, and thrive.

Discover the Connection Between Body and Mind
In my life I always try to do new things and find new challenges but in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to neglect the essential connection between our bodies and minds. In the last few years I have tried many different activities, such as painting, coloring, pottery, dancing, acting, meditating that have made me discover some of my personality traits, working for example on creativity, patience, imperfection, concentration and challenging the barriers of adulthood.
Pottery: patience, touch and fun.
During our retreat, you will have the opportunity to slow down, practice mindfulness, and embrace harmony. Through guided meditation sessions, mindful eating practices, massages and artistic workshops, you will discover the transformative power of aligning your body and mind.
Culinary Delights: Healthy, Colorful, and Nourishing
Upon my arrival in Italy, my immediate priority was to locate an authentic organic farmers market offering fresh, vibrant, healthy, and nourishing food. I succeeded in finding it!
Visiting this market weekly has become a cherished routine for me.
I enjoy engaging in conversations with the familiar farmers who call me by name, generously offer samples, we share recipes, tips and a laugh, all within a real community atmosphere...I recognize the culture and proximity that I was missing all these years abroad!

I firmly believe that the food we consume serves as fuel that can either empower us or merely fill us up. I take pleasure in feeling rejuvenated and content from food that is free from suffering and pesticides.
I am happy to collaborate with professionals who know how to make every meal an explosion of flavors and colors, without ever neglecting taste and satisfaction.
Get ready to tease your taste buds with an unparalleled culinary experience!
