✨ Wellness isn’t just about what we do—it’s about how we nurture our whole selves, inside and out. It is important to support your journey with simple, powerful practices to help you feel grounded and resilient:

1️⃣ Set boundaries. Saying “no” is an act of self-care. Prioritizing your needs empowers you to show up as your best self.
2️⃣ Connect with loved ones. Meaningful relationships foster safety and healing. Reach out, share, and let yourself be supported.
3️⃣ Offer yourself compassion. Remember, healing is a journey. Treat yourself with the warmth and understanding you would offer a dear friend.
4️⃣ Practice mindfulness. Even a few moments of mindful breathing or gentle meditation can calm your mind and body.
5️⃣ Engage in activities you love—whether it’s sports, art, or being in nature, movement helps restore balance and joy.

Your well-being matters. Which tip will you nurture today? 🌱

It's easy to get caught in the belief that being tired is a sign of hard work, or that burnout is a badge of honour. Yet, if we continuously pour from an empty cup, what kind of life are we truly nurturing?

Our well-being requires more than just sleep. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's research highlights that we need seven types of rest to genuinely thrive:

✅ Physical rest: Listening to your body's subtle cues before it has to shout.
✅ Mental rest: Giving your mind the quiet space it needs between thoughts.
✅ Sensory rest: Finding moments of calm amidst a world constantly buzzing with stimuli.
✅ Creative rest: Replenishing your inner wellspring of inspiration and wonder.
✅ Emotional rest: Releasing the weight of carrying everyone else's burdens.
✅ Social rest: Gently stepping back from connections that leave you feeling drained.
✅ Spiritual rest: Reconnecting with what brings deeper meaning and purpose to your life.

Prioritizing your rest isn't selfish; it's an act of self-compassion and a cornerstone of well-being. When you nurture yourself, you show up more fully for your loved ones, your work, and your life.

The world doesn't need more exhausted heroes. It needs you, cared for and at your best. Lori Gill Psychotherapy emphasizes holistic wellness, recognizing the importance of harmonizing the mind, body, brain, and spirit to create a sense of calm and help you live an optimal life. We are here to support you in building competencies and self-compassion, strengthening your ability to regulate emotions and navigate life's challenges in an embodied and authentic way.

Experience the brain shift with Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) —a continuous, rhythmic breathing technique that removes pauses between inhales and exhales.

CCB increases gamma brainwaves, boosting creativity, emotional processing, and awareness, while decreasing delta, theta, and beta waves to reduce stress, overthinking, and tension. This creates an ideal state for emotional healing, clarity, and calm.

Even 5 minutes can shift your brain. For deeper integration, follow breathwork with meditation or stillness to support lasting transformation.

✨ Returning home from co-hosting our restorative wellness retreat in the breathtaking Tuscan countryside with Lisa Scandalori (), my heart is full. We laughed, danced, sang, cried, and experienced profound healing and connection, moments that will stay with us always.

It’s an honour to witness the restoration, authenticity, and heart expansion that unfold in these sacred spaces. Thank you to everyone who joined us and entrusted us with your journey. I hope you carry forward new insights, practices, and lasting connections.

Endless gratitude to Villa La Capella () for your exceptional hospitality—the venue, food, and care exceeded all expectations. Giovanna (), your culinary creations were divine, and Maria, your attentive care was a gift. Paola and Anthony, you’ve created something truly special. I miss it already and can’t wait to return—whether to host another retreat or for a personal stay. 💖

Look through the memories with us!

What Is Trauma? Trauma has many faces. It is a response to deeply distressing or disturbing events that overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope. It can affect anyone, and its impact is felt across emotional, physical, behavioural, and cognitive domains.

Emotional Responses
- Intense feelings of fear, anxiety, sadness, or panic
- Emotional numbness or feeling detached from others
- Guilt, shame, or self-blame
- Mood swings or irritability

Physical Responses
- Fatigue or exhaustion
- Headaches, muscle tension, or digestive issues
- Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
- Racing heart, sweating, or feeling jumpy

Behavioral Responses
- Avoiding people, places, or activities that are reminders of the trauma
- Withdrawing from relationships or social activities
- Changes in eating or sleeping habits
- Increased use of substances or engaging in risky behaviours

Cognitive Responses
- Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks about the event
- Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
- Negative thoughts about oneself or the world

These reactions are normal, human responses to overwhelming experiences, they are not signs of weakness or failure. Most people recover over time, but if symptoms persist, support from a trauma-specialized professional can make a difference.
