EARLY BIRD PRICING UNTIL 7/26
📍 Vico Equense, Italy
📅 October 19–25, 2026
✨ Limited to only 10–12 Women
An intimate boutique retreat combining somatic healing, intuitive eating, mindful movement, and authentic Italian experiences.
For more than ten years, I struggled with eating disorders, body dysmorphia, anxiety…all int the effort to try and have “control” over something in my life
I spent so much energy trying to fix my body.
Trying to be smaller.
Trying to eat perfectly.
Trying to look a certain way.
Trying to feel "safe."
Energy that could have gone into my dreams, passions, relationships, creativity, and simply living my life.
It breaks my heart that I still see so many women making this same mistake today.
Believing that once they finally change their bodies, everything else will fall into place.
But your body was never the problem.
I know now that I was meant to walk this path because it led me to create something that, to my knowledge, does not exist anywhere else.
❤️🔥 Somatic Fitness™
❤️🔥 Somatic Serenity™
Methods that combine somatic healing, nervous system regulation, intuitive eating, movement, Reiki, mindfulness, and energy healing in a way that is both practical and deeply transformational
Your Body Was Never the Problem
If you're here, chances are you're tired.
Tired of food rules.
Tired of constantly trying to fix yourself.
Tired of feeling disconnected from your body, your intuition, and your joy.
You may have tried diets.
You may have tried forcing yourself into wellness routines that never felt sustainable.
You may have spent years believing that healing would happen once you looked different.
But what if your body was never the problem?
What if healing began by learning how to listen to it?
The Somatic Serenity™ Experience was created to help women gently return back to themselves through nervous system regulation, embodiment, connection to nature, community, and pleasure.
Because true healing doesn't happen through punishment.
It happens through safety.
THE SOMATIC SERENITY™ METHOD
The body needs to feel safe before it can truly heal.
Before intuitive eating.
Before confidence.
Before self-expression.
Before feeling present.
Because when our nervous system is dysregulated, it becomes incredibly difficult to trust ourselves.
This is why so much of my work begins with the Root Chakra: safety, grounding, belonging, and connection.
After struggling for 10 years with the relationship with my body, movement, self expression and food, I created the Somatic Serenity Method which integrates:
✨ grounding meditations
✨ breathwork
✨ EFT tapping
✨ somatic movement
✨ intuitive fitness
✨ intuitive eating
✨ Reiki and energy healing
Although this work can absolutely support body dysmorphia and healing your relationship with food and movement, it goes far beyond that.
These tools can support you through:
🤍 anxiety
🤍 burnout
🤍 grief
🤍 difficult life transitions
🤍 emotional regulation
🤍 self-expression
🤍 reconnecting to joy.
Because the body keeps the score.
And healing happens when we learn to listen to it.
WHY ITALY?
I am deeply passionate about the care for the Earth.
Hosting this retreat anywhere else never felt aligned.
I have spent years working with Indigenous communities and learning the importance of honoring our roots and avoiding extractive practices.
These lands are my ancestral lands.
My mother's side of the family comes from Torre Annunziata, just around the corner from where we will be gathering.
These are my native waters.
As someone who feels deeply connected to water, and knowing how much women naturally connect with water and cyclical living, there was nowhere else this retreat could have happened.
Italy also has a long history of connecting with the elements, food, community, pleasure, music, and ritual.
This retreat is designed to honor all of those traditions.
Throughout the week, we will also learn from local musicians and artists, exploring traditional healing dances and songs that have been passed down through generations.
Supporting local communities is deeply important to me. I have spent years researching the right place, local practitioners and experiences to create the best eco-wellness experience for the woman who is ready to go within.
This is not simply a retreat in Italy.
It is an intentional exchange with the land, where we’ll find safety in the body through daily somatic practices, nourishing foods, traditional songs and dances, local excursions, and energy work.
-
I was born in Rome, Italy, and spent over twenty years living in the United States between New York and Miami.
I worked in journalism, sustainability, climate resilience, and public health with organizations including the United Nations and Miami-Dade County.
I also had the privilege of working alongside Indigenous communities throughout the United States, where I learned the importance of honoring our roots, our ancestors, and our relationship with the land.
At the same time, privately, I was struggling deeply.
It wasn't until I discovered meditation through Buddhist monks during a study abroad experience in London that everything began to change.
From there I began studying:
✨ traditional Reiki
✨ breathwork
✨ EFT
✨ somatic healing through the SAH Method by Sah De Simone
✨ nervous system regulation
✨ intuitive eating
✨ fitness and mindful movement
✨ Akashic Records
What truly clicked for me was realizing that somatic healing helped connect all of these pieces together.
Because healing is not simply intellectual.
The body needs to feel safe enough to integrate the changes we are trying to create. The body keeps the score.
YOUR JOURNEY BACK HOME

Jahzeel
“Ludovica walked me through a unique spiritual awakening. Healing has been a priority for me for the past 3 years, and being able to expand my journey with Ludovica's reiki session is an amazing opportunity to balance my mind and my body. It's truly transformative, not to mention that afterward, you leave with a sensation of serenity, peace and clarity. Thank you Lu for being a healer and for giving me this beautiful experience.”

Viviana
"I’d never done reiki before so the concept was a bit foreign to me. Ludovica was amazing at walking me through the process, explaining the history of the practice and the benefits of it. During the session my body felt very tingly but as it progressed I was able to relax and felt reenergized afterwards. I really felt the connection of the experience even if we were virtual.”

"I just enjoyed experiencing the effects of distance reiki for the first time! It was amazing to experience first-hand, since up until working with Ludovica I had only experienced reiki in-person. I also really appreciated learning about the history of reiki and its connection to Ludovica. It all just felt so well put together and that the experience was really something special"

“Working with Ludovica awakened my love for dance and the body again! I felt so seen, safe, understood and free.
Her guidance and heart were present the whole time and made the process so powerful.
I released lots of blocks in my body and I also had lots of fun as well!
She helped me remember that healing can be fun too. I truly loved the SAH practice and the different parts involved in the container.
It is like an inner journey to become free! I highly recommend Ludovica, she is amazing!”

“I tried my first SAH class with Ludovica and I loved this experience!
She guided me through the different parts of this movement journey that helped me to reconnect deeply with myself and feel more joyful and alive in my body!
I feel that this practice is just the right combination of guided sections and free movements, and the final meditation opened my heart so deeply..
I also enjoyed the Reiki session at the end of the class, I felt balanced and recharged.”

Lu is incredible. She creates such a safe and inviting space, and you will immediately feel right at home. Her Somatic Healing class was amazing and so needed. I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and lightless afterwards and I will most definitely be coming back. This class is for anyone who feels like they need to release physical and mental tension from the mind and body. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone!

I had the pleasure of joining Ludovica’s Somatic Activated Healing Method class at the Standard Spa and would highly recommend to anyone who may be seeking a space to ground and connect with yourself, REALLY feel into your body in beautiful and powerful ways you may not be expecting, and walk away from the class having released tension and unhelpful thoughts. Ludovica is exceptionally thoughtful in making sure everyone is comfortable, describing not only what by also how and why certain somatic practices do what they do, her complementary music selection and checking in along the way so I both learned about new things and got to try them out - I appreciated the diversity of practices we engaged in as I was able to connect with different parts of myself All along the spectrum of emotions. For me, the most powerful moments came after shaking activity where my muscles literally needed to be shaken up and were vibrating with joy afterwards. I also enjoyed the playful free and ecstatic movement opportunities. Oh and I cried as we used certain somatic healing movements while repeating verbal self affirmations followed by physical ones like hugging yourself.
Don’t even get me started on the world class spa access afterwards!! Took advantage of the sauna, steam room, cold room, rain shower and left completely renewed and relaxed. Best Sunday evening ever!

Ludovica was an incredible facilitator! I felt so free in my body and came back home to myself very deeply. At the end there was Reiki energy healing that was powerful and moving. The cherry on top was enjoying the spa amenities afterwards and my mind was so at peace. Every ounce of it was perfectly aligned. I’m so grateful for choosing me and following my hearts deepest desires. So many memories I will forever cherish were created. I laughed, danced, sang, and played all day! My heart is FULL!

Attending a somatic workout with Ludovica is a transformative experience. Her goal approach is gentle yet profoundly effective, blending movement, breathwork, and mindfulness to help you connect deeply with your body. Ludovica creates a safe, welcoming space where you feel encouraged to explore your physical and emotional boundaries at your own pace. Her instructions are clear, insightful, and tailored to the needs of each participant, making the session feel both personal and impactful. By the end of the workout, I felt more grounded, relaxed, and in tune with my body than I had in weeks.
Ludovica’s expertise and empathetic presence truly set her apart. Highly recommended for anyone seeking holistic wellness and self-awareness through movement!

Karen
Ludo, your class was absolutely refreshing! It was my introduction to somatic healing and reiki. I am really glad I went because I left feeling lighter, calmer, and grounded . I always thought that to recenter myself after feeling stressed and having anxiety meant wrestling with my thoughts. It was so freeing to see that I could just connect with my body and focus on moving intuitively to release everything. Thank you
What are the benefits of this approach?
By learning and integrating tools like meditation, breath work, somatic movements, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), you’ll unlock a new level of balance and clarity in your life. Here’s what this course can help you achieve:
Feel grounded and less stressed: Learn to calm your nervous system and navigate life’s challenges with ease.

There’s nothing like this on the market. Somatic Serenity is a unique program that connects all the dots—mindfulness, somatic healing, and movement—while introducing you to Intuitive Fitness and Intuitive Eating, a revolutionary approach of embracing exercise and eating as an act of self-care, not punishment.
I’ve been where you are. After 10 years of struggling with a severe eating disorder, I didn’t just heal—I turned my pain into purpose. The methods I teach in this course are the exact tools that transformed my life. This isn’t just theory—it’s lived experience, paired with proven techniques.
When you join this course, you’re not just learning a framework; you’re joining a supportive, empowering space where real transformation happens.
