Rebalance Massage

19/09/2025

I took the first picture on the last day of my very first retreat—soaking up the sun and breathing in deep gratitude. Pulling off an event like this, something I once thought impossible as a holistic therapist, has been such a powerful experience.

I was blessed not only with the presence of incredible women but also with all the support I could have hoped for. The last two days felt especially precious—participants opened up about their struggles and shared their unique gifts, creating a space of vulnerability and connection that I will cherish forever.

I’ve been a little quiet on here since then. Some experiences—beautiful, intense, and transformative—need time to process, reflect, and integrate. That’s exactly what I’ve been doing.

A heartfelt thank you to Elena .hub who stood by me despite my anxiety, Michela for her yoga teaching, Alessandro for guiding us to the mountain of my heart (the Sibilla); to Massimo for his gentle sound bath; to Rossana and Henri for being the most wonderful hosts .rivo.official and, last but never least, to my superstar Federico who supports every single one of my ideas (and I have about ten new ideas per minute!). I could have not wished for a better man than you.

I’m now beginning to plan my next retreat. If you’d like to be the first to hear about it, make sure you’re signed up for my newsletter (LINK IN BIO).
Au revoir!

Are you a woman who’s always holding space for others but rarely for yourself? This is your invitation to step out of a life of depletion and into one of ease, grace, and unapologetic receiving. 🔥You have pured into everyone else. Now it’s your turn.

Why you should join?
Because you’re constantly “on”—doing, giving, pushing—but the rest never feels like enough. A full night’s sleep leaves you just as tired. A day off barely scratches the surface. The fatigue lingers. The overthinking won’t stop. The worry hums beneath everything.

You’re moving through life, but not fully living in your body. Your intuition feels distant. Your creativity is muffled, struggling to find space in a mind that never stops. You feel scattered, unrooted—uncertain of what you truly want or need.

I see this every day in the therapy room: you’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re simply disconnected—from your power, your rhythm, your self.

You feel guilty for slowing down—as if rest needs to be earned, as if caring for yourself is somehow selfish. You keep going, even when you’re running on empty. You push through the fatigue, silence the overwhelm, and call it strength.

You weren’t meant to live in survival mode. You were made to feel grounded, whole, and fully alive. That shift begins the moment you choose yourself.

✨ What’s Included:
* 5 nights/6 days at the stunning Villa Rivo
* Transfers to/from Ancona and Pescara airports
* Daily yoga sessions
* Nutritious, gluten-free vegetarian & vegan meals
* 3 Low-Tox Workshops: learn to create clay face masks, balms, and deodorants
* A 60-minute aromatherapy massage
* A 60-minute clinical reflexology session
* Group auricular acupuncture sessions
* A day hike to the Sibilla Mountain 🌄
* Poolside relaxation, bikes and free time
* All yoga and workshops equipment and ingredients provided

🌱 Gluten-Free + Vegetarian for Women’s Wellness 💫

Why did I choose a gluten-free and plant-based menu for our retreat?
Because until five years ago, I had no idea that undiagnosed coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity could quietly disrupt women’s health—especially our hormones and reproductive systems.

⚠️ Gluten sensitivity can:
– Trigger chronic inflammation
– Lead to nutrient malabsorption (iron, B12, zinc, folate)
– Cause hormonal imbalances through gut disruption
– Contribute to PMS, irregular cycles, and even fertility challenges

Pairing a gluten-free and vegetarian diet can help:
✅ Reduce bloating and inflammation
✅ Support gut and liver function (crucial for hormone detox!)
✅ Boost fiber, phytonutrient, and plant-based iron intake
✅ Encourage clearer skin, better mood, and cycle balance
Your food choices are powerful tools for hormone harmony. 🌸✨
👉 Curious to see what’s possible? Try going gluten-free and plant-based for just one week and notice how your body responds. Sometimes, even small shifts create powerful changes. 💫

Radical self-care is a deep and intentional approach to personal well-being that goes far beyond bubble baths and rest days.

🌱It means caring for oneself not just as an act of health, but as a form of empowerment and preservation—especially for those who belong to communities that have faced systemic oppression and limiting narratives. For example, the stereotype that “women are naturally caring and therefore should instinctively tend to children, the elderly, and others”reinforces expectations that often come at the expense of their own well-being.

🔥Radical self-care is rooted in liberation—in the fight to thrive despite imposed labels and societal expectations.
It involves a consistent commitment to nurturing our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs—not just when we're burned out.
It also means setting boundaries and saying no, protecting your time, energy, and mental health—even when it’s uncomfortable or goes against social norms that promote constant productivity and availability.

✨Radical self-care disrupts norms, challenging the very concepts of grind culture, perfectionism, and the relentless pursuit of output.
❤️If you are a woman who's always holding space for others but rarely for yourself, this is your invitation to step out of a life of depletion and into one of ease, grace and unapologetic receiving. Join me and like minded women on a RETREAT DEDICATED TO YOU. You have poured into everyone else. Now it's YOUR TURN. ▶️ Head to the LINK IN BIO for more info

🌊Free time That Feels Like Bare Feet on Warm Earth

Here are some inspiring ways to embrace the art of slow living during your stay at the retreat:

☀️Soak up the Italian countryside sunshine – Recharge with a healthy dose of vitamin D (don’t forget your sunscreen!) while listening to birdsong and letting the peaceful landscape restore your senses.

🏊‍♀️ Take a dip in the Villa Rivo pool – Cool off in crystal-clear waters, float in stillness, and let the summer heat melt away.

🚴 Hop on a bike and explore – The villa provides bicycles so you can venture through the surrounding nature or ride into the local town for a taste of history—or a refreshing Aperol Spritz with nibbles. (Upon booking, I’ll share a map with three scenic bike trails for you to enjoy.)

🏺Visit Montottone – Just a short distance away, this charming town is home to one of the region’s oldest pottery workshops. Step back in time and witness traditional craftsmanship in action.

🌸 An Healing Journey from the outside in

🤕The Western culture we live in is very mind-driven. We are taught to live from the neck up—thinking, analyzing, doing. But in the process, we become disconnected from the deep wisdom our bodies carry.

🧘‍♂️Our bodies often know what’s right for us before our minds can make sense of it. They feel, sense, and respond—quietly guiding us—long before our thoughts catch up.
Even when we want to decline an invitation, a proposal, or a job, we feel the need to rationalize our decision, because “not feeling it” isn’t considered a valid reason.

🔥 Get that validation back. I give you permission—because sometimes, when someone else gives you permission, it feels easier.
Your body is not just a vessel; it’s your inner compass, holding insight, intuition, and clarity. Yet in a world that celebrates constant output—especially for women taught to give endlessly—the simple act of receiving can feel unfamiliar, even uncomfortable.

💧This retreat is your invitation to change that. To fill your cup. To be gently guided back into the presence and power of your body—and to place it at the center of your own experience.

❇️A 60-Minute Personalized Reflexology Session
Based on your consultation form, I’ll create a tailored reflexology protocol to address your body’s unique needs. This includes classic Ingham method reflexology, combined with Voll’s tooth-organ connection chart and nerve reflexology points to target areas of pain or imbalance.

❇️A 60-Minute Aromatherapy Massage
This therapeutic massage is infused with a custom blend of essential oils selected specifically for you—based on your health history and desired outcomes, whether that's restful sleep, mental clarity, or energetic alignment.

❇️A Group Auricular Acupuncture Session
Using fine needles—or seeds if you prefer a needle-free approach—you’ll receive a personalized protocol rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern auriculotherapy. While seeds offer a gentler option, I encourage you to try the needles for their enhanced effectiveness.

Yesterday, I worked on refining the workshop programs for the retreat, focusing on these priorities:
1. Teaching something valuable that’s easy to replicate at home and adaptable by swapping ingredients.
2. Providing a basic understanding of harmful ingredients for the body and skin, and how to adopt more natural rituals in skincare and self-care routines.
3. Keeping sessions short to ensure you have plenty of free time to rest and enjoy the retreat as you wish.

🔮 Sacred Smoke Workshop
Integrating smudging into daily life offers a moment of pause, compassion, and reflection—especially in a fast-paced world that pushes us to act without questioning. Beyond its meditative benefits, smudging helps clear energy and infuse your space with a natural, personal scent. Burning resins and herbs is also a much healthier alternative to synthetic fragrances, candles, or incense—and I’ll explain why during the workshop.

🌓 Botanical Moon Mask
We’ll be making this mask on September 7th, the night of the Full Moon—hence the “Moon” in the title. There are a few essential practices for achieving healthy, glowing skin. One of the most important is avoiding comedogenic and toxic ingredients, and instead choosing natural options like clays and herbs over store-bought creams that promise miracles but often fall short.

🌸The Underarm Reset Rituals
This area of the body is vital for our health, as the underarms are a major lymphatic drainage hub—home to many lymph nodes that filter toxins, waste, and pathogens before they re-enter the bloodstream. Aluminum has been found in breast tissue, particularly in studies involving women with breast cancer, which is why I believe it's essential to use only gentle, natural ingredients here. There are simple strategies to manage body odor while supporting overall health, and I’ll be sharing those with you.

🌿 The Balm Lab
A balm (or salve) is a versatile remedy that invites creativity—allowing you to blend healing oils with medicinal herbs and therapeutic essential oils. In this workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of balm formulation, so you can confidently recreate almost any balm you come across.

🌙 A Feminine Mystery

Mount Sibilla (or the Sibyl) symbolizes feminine intuition, sensuality, and transformation. The mountain takes its name from the cave believed to be the dwelling of a powerful woman—the Sibyl.

🔮She was an independent oracle, said to reveal hidden truths, guide lost souls, and tempt seekers with visions of otherworldly realms.
In myths and legends, some viewed her as a wise prophetess, others as a seductive sorceress. Yet all who found themselves at a crossroads in life were drawn to her cave, seeking guidance.

✨Come with your questions held close to your heart. At the threshold of Mount Sibilla, we will open the sacred space, draw the oracle cards, and invoke her spirit—so that the ancient voice of the Sibyl may speak through the veil and offer her guidance.
