Regain your energy and reduce burn out with nurturing food, grounding bodywork including massage and kinesiology, creative coaching, mindful movement, and plenty of rest.
This carefully tailored week in the beautiful Tuscan hills will give you a chance to step off the busy-ness wheel, and allow us to help you restore your energy and equilibrium, whilst you revel in the Italian countryside and the warming spring sun.
Imagine feeling full of energy, peaceful, focused and centred in the world around you.
During this week of pure positivity, you will have time to focus on yourself, mind, body and spirit.
We will help you to develop tools that allow you the time and space to clear your mind and choose how, when and why you "do".
Regain that feeling of full joy, "La Dolce Vita", the sweet life!!
Empowering you with ease, rest and wisdom.
Take a couple of minutes to enjoy imagining yourself immersed in Natural hotsprings. Feel the water, rich with deeply regenerative minerals supporting and nourishing every cell of your body. In burnout, a persons body is depleted at every level. We have been carefully curating a mind/body nourishing retreat for those recovering from burnout or those who feel that they are headed for it and want to change track.
This retreat is an investment - you'll identify patterns that led you to burning out, and you'll discover new ways of being that serve your highest good. You'll leave with a personal well being plan that sets you up for sustainablity. Your Revitalise plan can become your own blueprint for a better way of living, so that you can return to your old life, except you'll be a new person.
You'll have the support, energy, insights, strategy and new perspectives to create a sense of balance in your life. You'll know how it feels to be relaxed and nourished, and you'll have the tools to integrate this into your life.
We will work together to set up good foundations for a more energised and joyful return to your life at home. Working with the support of an experienced coach, and an expert nutritional therapist you will be able to make new, empowering choices about how to go forwards.
With a balance of structured sessions, and time for rest, reading or gentle walking in the stunning surrounding countryside, the week will give you all the space and support you need to recharge.

Holistic practices for the nervous system include mindful awareness and understanding of our own neuroception (how the world looks according to our nervous systems). It is effecting change through self awareness. We will 'tone the vagus nerve' through a variety of exercises including heart coherence, EFT tapping, energy medicine, and discussion of the polyvagal theory.

Meet The Team
Ella Carey is an experienced nutritional therapist and coach, with a special interest in the nervous system, and it's impact on health.
Through her own lived experience of healing from chronic inflammation that had left her paralysed, to healing her sons chronic anxiety through nutritional therapy, she developed a keen passion for the nervous system's impact on the physical body. She weaves together her lived & work experience, and clinical knowledge to access a unique perspective of healing - bringing empathy, knowledge and most importantly practical and accessible tools to implement in our everyday lives to effect lasting change and promote healing at a cellular level.
She runs clinics in London and Cardiff, in person, and online teaching classes and gives talks on the nervous system's role in chronic health issues.
“Following mine and my family’s own successful healing journeys, I truly believe in the importance of understanding the root of a health issue, not just dealing with the symptoms. I empower people to make real change, whether it’s dietary, environment, activity or any other area that’s negatively affecting their health, and give them the tools to take back control of their lives.”
What Ella's Clients Say:
“My sessions with Ella were amazing. Not only is she utterly professional, but her approach is thoughtful, gentle and kind. I felt so comfortable with her, and her questioning and technique really did help me to see more clearly and helped me overcome my fears and anxiety.
Only after a few sessions I left feeling happier, more calm and without the problem I had come in with.“ NB.
"I have struggled with health issues my entire life and worked with “the best” medical practitioners from New York to Rome, with little long term success. Ella is the only person who was ever able to diagnose my issues properly and approach my health holistically and connect all of the dots together. I have seen long term REAL results and have never felt physically better. She is the real deal. I will forever be grateful to her!” G
Lucy Hare is a coach, supervisor and coach trainer with over 12 years’experience in the profession.
She is based in London and also works as a professional musician. In 2012 she established her own business (www.artscoaching.co.uk) pioneering coaching in the performing arts, working with musicians, dancers and actors.
She takes coaching into arts colleges such as the Royal College of Music where she is a lead coach tutor on their Professional Musician master’s course. Her 1:1 coaching work focuses on personal challenge, career change, retirement choices, and life audits, often working with performers, business owners and entrepreneurs. She also runs a Continued Professional Development programme of Urban Retreats throughout the year.
“I work with clients looking at how to create the right conditions for them to thrive, and make good choices from the many they are faced with. We commonly focus on work/life balance and at the values that underpin the client’s sense of satisfaction with their life.
I have worked in the highly pressurised music industry for many years, I have seen that clients facing similar pressures often need to rekindle their love of what they do. Coaching can really help do this, and put you back in the driving seat of your life, regaining a sense of control and autonomy. The essence of my coaching is dynamic listening, supportive and rigorous questioning and a deep-seated belief that each person holds the best answers to their own questions.”
