Get in touch
Your body was never the problem.
Maybe you're tired of knowing what you “should” do, yet still feeling anxious around food, disconnected from your body, burned out, or stuck in cycles of restriction, overthinking, and pushing yourself harder.
Maybe you've done the therapy. Read the books. Tried the diets, wellness routines, meditation apps, or fitness plans.
But knowing something intellectually and feeling it in your body are two very different things.
Return to Your Body was created to bridge that gap.
For seven days in Southern Italy, you'll learn practical tools for nervous system regulation, somatic healing, intuitive eating, mindful movement, and embodiment — while having the space to actually practice them in real life.
Not just learning how to feel more connected to yourself.
Experiencing it.
This isn't about escaping your life for a week
It's about learning tools you can actually take home with you.
The Somatic Serenity™ Method brings together evidence-informed mind-body practices such as mindfulness, breathwork, EFT tapping, somatic movement, intuitive eating, and mindful exercise alongside traditional practices including Reiki and energy healing.
While the retreat is deeply experiential, the work is practical.
You'll learn how to recognize what happens in your body when you're stressed or triggered, practice tools that can support nervous system regulation, explore your relationship with food and movement, and build rituals you can continue using long after Italy.
The spiritual elements are an invitation. The practical tools are the foundation.
THE SOMATIC SERENITY™ METHOD
01 — GROUND
Meditation + Breathwork
Learn foundational practices for slowing down, becoming present, and creating a greater sense of safety within your body.
02 — REGULATE
EFT Tapping + Mantras
Learn practical tools you can use when experiencing stress, anxiety, food guilt, overwhelm, or emotional activation.
03 — RELEASE
Somatic Movement
Using tools informed by my Somatic Activated Healing Method training and years of additional study, we'll explore movement, shaking, breath, sound, and expression to reconnect with the body.
04 — MOVE
Somatic Fitness™
Learn how strength, fitness, mindfulness, and somatic awareness can coexist — so movement becomes a form of connection rather than punishment.
05 — NOURISH
Intuitive Eating + Somatic Tools
Explore the principles of intuitive eating while learning how somatic regulation can support you in noticing hunger, fullness, fear, guilt, satisfaction, and your body's cues.
06 — INTEGRATE
Embodiment + Reiki
Bring everything together through ritual, reflection, Reiki, movement, and an integration plan you can continue at home.
-
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.
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.
WHERE WE WILL BE STAYING
For six nights we will stay at La Tuja Relais du Parc, a beautiful boutique property rooted in sustainability and slow living.
Surrounded by nature and overlooking the sea, La Tuja shares many of the same values at the heart of this retreat:
🌿 sustainability
🌿 connection to nature
🌿 intentional hospitality
🌿 honoring local traditions.
This peaceful setting will become our
home as we soften, heal, and
reconnect with ourselves.
