Transformational Journeys
Back to Your Heart
Boutique wellness retreats designed to awaken your innate wisdom
The longest journey of your life is the one from your mind to your heart
In a world that often leaves us disconnected from ourselves, from nature and from one another, our retreats create opportunities to reconnect.
Through shared experiences, meaningful challenge, supportive community and time immersed in nature, people often leave with renewed perspective, greater confidence, lasting friendships and a deeper appreciation for life.
The experience ends.
The connections remain.

Our Mission
Our mission is to guide individuals back to the deepest wisdom of their own hearts through thoughtfully curated transformational journeys.
To live with an embodied heart means cultivating a living, felt awareness of your emotions, intuition, and highest self — not merely understanding them intellectually, but experiencing them fully within the body. It is the practice of gently “dropping down” from the mind into the visceral intelligence of the body, allowing life to be navigated with authenticity, clarity, and presence.
Through our retreats, we offer powerful practices and experiences that help open the doorway to heart consciousness — creating space for insight, healing, and profound personal transformation.

Her intention is simple: to help people become healthier, stronger and happier, and to leave each retreat with greater confidence, deeper connection and memories that last a lifetime.

Hello.
I have been gravitating in the Self-Realization field for over fifteen years.
I am a certified Teacher of Mindfulness Meditation with UCLA and The Semel Institute of Neuroscience in Los Angeles and I teach Mindfulness Meditation in the Master in Mindfulness Meditation and Contemplative Practices at Pisa University, Italy.
My background includes certifications and intensive trainings in Hatha Yoga, Anusara, Kundalini, Bhakti yoga, Restorative yoga and Pranayama. I am a Certified Level 3 Advanced Wim Hof Method instructor.
My love of music and spirituality drew me into devotional chanting. Today I am a Kirtan leader, play the harmonium and lead mantra chanting circles across Europe.
