A 7-day immersion blending hands-on Italian cuisine at the Italian Culinary Institute with mind-body coaching and slow-life coastal living.
In one unforgettable week, master Italian flavors, regulate your nervous system, and lock in a practical growth plan with peers who want life and business to feel good again.
Seven focused days in Italy to restore your energy, simplify your strategy, and rediscover joy in the kitchen. Through chef-led labs, daily movement and breathwork, and a curated business mastermind, you’ll turn clarity into a practical 90-day plan. Come for the food and coastal pace; leave with sustainable habits, sharper offers, and the confidence to execute.
Over seven coastal days, downshift with daily breathwork and movement, learn chef-led market-to-table cooking, and turn ideas into action through focused strategy sprints and a peer mastermind. The Island Magic Reset restores steady energy and sharp focus, then sends you home with a practical 90-day roadmap—simple rituals, templates, and a supportive cohort—plus market walks, seaside recovery, and long-table dinners to make the momentum last.
Reset with energizing mornings, chef-led, rule-free cuisine, and small-group strategy—leave clearer, lighter, and armed with a simple, sustainable plan.

The airport is Lamezia Terme (SUF). It is less than 30 minutes from the hotel. I will be providing and arranging your transportation to and from the airport. You will be greeted with a sign that has your name on it. You just need to send me your flight information by September.
Please make sure that your flight lands on to SUF on the start date of your retreat *This will mean leaving the US the day before. We will begin the retreat with a welcome dinner at 6 pm. You are welcome to arrive any time on this day before 5 pm so that you can attend the welcome dinner.
This is a sample itinerary. This will change, but it's a general idea.
You can leave any time on the designated departure day, there are no scheduled activities.
Here is a suggested packing list.
We will be staying at Baia D’ell Est Località Caminia, Stalettì (CZ) – 88069. The city is Staletti. The hidden gem of all of Italy.
There is laundry on site that you are welcome to use.
SUF is a small airport so there are no direct flights from the US. But the journey is part of the retreat magic! I am happy to help answer any questions when booking.
We recommend investing in an insurance plan that will cover trip cancellations if you are unable to attend.
We can’t wait to welcome you “home”!!
