Don't miss this soul nourishing and life changing experience, ​May 14-23, 2022
This is ADVENTURE AND SOUL, a journey to discover the beauty, healing energy and laid back culture of Italy. You will not only explore some of the most amazing places of this beautiful country, you will also feel a deep inner healing as well as a strong connection to each other and this ancient land.


We've gone through so much SHIT the last couple of years and we all deserve to be taken care of, to let loose, have fun and refresh! YOU deserve to have an adventure where you don't need to plan or worry. YOU get to just enjoy every moment.

  • ​Are you sick of the walls of your house?
  • Are you ready to have fun and connect with other amazing women?
  • Are you ready to heal some shit and feel more empowered in how you show up in your day to day?
  • It's time to fill your own cup.
  • It's time to create a new way forward giving yourself MORE.
Envision this...

  • When hiking with new friends, you can smell the lemon trees as you pass vineyards growing grapes that will make the local wine. 
  • Snack on the most creamy and delicious gelato you've ever had, a fresh made cannoli as you dip your toes in the clear turquoise water.
  • Sit by the ocean, watching the sun set, as you hear the waves lapping against the rocks, smelling the salty air. 
  • You finish your days with a dinner, laughter and beautiful conversation, taking your time as the Italians do. This is a social event as much as it's a meal.
​What will this experience do for YOU?

Italy holds a special place in my heart and Cinque Terre is my home away from home, so you can be sure you will experience it in a way you wouldn't otherwise.

​Let's go off the beaten path and be sure you get the local experience from the beautiful hidden gems to the best food you've ever had.

I personally experienced a deep healing through my first few trips there, starting 10 years ago and continue to experience the healing magic every time I go. 

Every person I have brought has spoken of the magic they've received and the way they have returned home a different person than when they left, refreshed and renewed. 
You will receive deep energy healing to uncover the light inside of you, connecting deeper to your higher self and having a clearer view of your purpose and  vision for the future. You will feel pampered, well fed, blessed with new friends, stronger from moving your body to explore the land and in love with Italy and all it has to offer. ​​
"I left my husband and kids to go on a retreat in NH hosted by Nicole and it was truly magical. I felt nourished by nature, great food and company and completely held by Nicole in healing. I was able to live in the moment because Nicole handled everything and I was able to just disconnect from the everyday stressors and old traumas to truly be present and enjoy every minute of this deeply healing experience. If you are in need of a getaway and someone to support you as a healer and guide, Nicole and her Retreats are perfect!" -Kate Barry

From the rolling hills and ancient cities of Tuscany to the layered fishing villages, you will be pampered throughout.
  • You will be well fed with food that will delight your taste buds. 
  • You will have time to yourself to simply take in what is happening and what is surrounding you. 
  • You will sit by the pool and on your lounger on the beach, letting any stress melt away. 
  • You will be nourished with healing and meditation.
  • You will see beauty all around you. Every stone wall you see, a work of art built by hand, the stacked buildings of all colors like a painting.
  • You will give your body the gift of movement through hiking to connect with the land and air. 

The wonder of this place cannot be fully described in words. You have to experience it for yourself. 

So, what are you waiting for? 
Do this for YOURSELF.
Do this for your loved ones who will reap the benefits of your new, renewed self.

​For the detail oriented, here's a in depth look at the trip.

​Once you arrive in Italy, I will meet you with a private driver to whisk you away to a private villa in Tuscany where you will settle in for 3 nights. Take a dip in the heated pool to refresh before dinner to loosen your muscles from the plane ride. Enjoy an authentic Italian dinner prepared by private chef, waking your taste buds to fresh authentic Tuscan food. Indulge in some local wine and unwind from your long travel day among the rolling countryside.
 
On the first full day, you will have a chance to adjust to the time difference, enjoying the grounds and the pool as well as 2 healing workshops. We will end the day with an incredible pizza dinner under the stars with our private chef, indulging in the handmade crust, highest quality cheese and fresh local vegetables, tasting 3 different flavors of pizza.
 
On the second day, we will start with an hour of meditation and healing work followed by a trip to Siena to explore museums, churches and walking the streets of this beautiful medieval town with a delicious lunch before we return to enjoy our last evening in the villa.
 
Day 3, we will be picked up in the morning to travel to Lucca, Italy. This smaller city is surrounded by its original walls. Walk or bike along the wall that encircles the city and walk the cobblestone streets, enjoying the upscale shops, bakeries and cafes before enjoying a delicious Italian lunch at one of the best restaurants. Your palette and belly will be happy after some of the best food of your life.
 
We will then be dropped off in Riomaggiore where we will stay for 6 nights. Once you’ve dropped off your things and settled in, we will enjoy the sunset with wine and some small bites, sitting along the sea, feeling the salty air cleansing our spirit.
 
While in Riomaggiore, our schedule will be weather dependent and will include:
 
Group meditation and reiki along and above the sea.
 
Hiking between villages, taking in the breathtaking views of the sea, vineyards and towns below, connecting to the earth in ways you may not have known is possible.
 
Exploring the nooks and crannies of each magical village and all they have to offer, from the seemingly ordinary but truly beautiful alleyways with laundry hanging to the maze of colors and tiny churches hidden between houses.
 
Enjoying the BEST food the Cinque Terre has to offer at Michelin Star restaurants, small gelato shops, bakeries and fresh seafood and produce. Breakfast and one large meal are included each day.
 
Take a boat tour of the Cinque Terre, seeing this beautiful landscape from the sea, enjoying a swim in the crystal clear turquoise water and enjoying snacks and drinks as you watch the sun set.
 
Enjoy a cooking class up on the hillside overlooking the sea. You will use fresh picked basil to make the most amazing pesto you’ve ever eaten and create delicious seafood and desserts that will blow you away, bringing the recipes home with you.
​
You will leave Italy with new perspective, new visions and purpose and new friendships.
WHO AM I, your host?
Hi! I'm Nicole! I am Life and Healing Coach guiding women on a journey to rewire old patterns and step into their most empowered selves. 
I have a love of travel and focus on mindful and sacred travel , connecting to the culture, land and people, staying present int the experience so I deeply enjoy it all. I have traveled solo many times and Italy is my soul place, a home away from home. I absolutely love to bring others to experience this magical place. 

I also have a love of helping women overcome the things that are holding them back.

Some questions that you may have...
> I'M NERVOUS ABOUT PAYING SO MUCH FOR A TRIP. IS IT WORTH IT?
It definitely is an investment as this is not just any trip. If you join us on this travel and healing experience, you will feel completely renewed and be nourished in ways you wouldn't if you were planning your own travel. You will receive healing, make deep connections and have the time of your life.

> I DON' T KNOW IF I CAN LEAVE MY FAMILY FOR THAT LONG
Honestly, this experience is just as much for your family as it is for you. They will benefit from the refreshed energy you return with. You take care of every one, you give give give and the last two years has been especially taxing. YOU deserve to be nurtured and go home transformed.

> DO I HAVE TO PATICIPATE IN EVERYTHING?
You do not. If there is an activity that you want out bow out of, you can. This experience is about the group but it's also about each one of YOU. If you want some alone time or want to do something specific that the group is not, I can help you set that up. Additional activities available: Kayaking, massage, Yoga, shopping, extra beach time.

> SHOULD I BE IN GOOD SHAPE FOR THIS?
You should be in decent shape as the hikes are a little challenging. Cinque Terre is made up of 5 villages, on the inside of a mountain, most of which are made up of stairways and hills. The hikes go even higher, though we will take our time. You can always opt out of the hikes we do per the previous question.
> WHAT AIRPORT DO I FLY INTO?
You will fly into Florence and our travel concierge is happy to help with flights. You will be picked up and dropped at the airport with the group by private driver.

> WHAT DO I NEED TO TRAVEL TO ITALY?
If you do not have a passport, you want to get one asap. You also need travel insurance. Our amazing travel concierge will help you with all of your needs from flights to insurance and anything else you need. Her services are included.

> WHAT ABOUT COVID?
Currently, Italy requires vaccination or quarantining (which would extend your trip and should you have a positive test, you will miss the trip). To make things easier, I'm asking participants to be fully vaccinated including booster so there are no issues as there will be no refunds if you miss the trip because of quarantine. Restaurants and other activities may also require vaccination as well as public transportation which will we will use in Cinque Terre (we will have a private driver in Tuscany). Last, should travel be prohibited, we will push the trip to new dates (I really do not expect this at all).

> WILL I BE GIVEN INFO ON CULTURAL THINGS I SHOULD KNOW?
Of course! There are a few things to make note of such as etiquette for churches and it will all be sent to you along with suggested packing list and other useful information.

> I'd love to talk to ask questions. Is that possible? 
YES! See below to grab a spot on my calendar!
