Meet Your Hostess with the Mostess — Haley Reese
Before I ever even stepped foot in Italy, I was an Italophile. From studying art history to falling in love with the food at my favorite local Sicilian spot, Italy has always had my heart.
My love affair with this incredible country only grew when I went to Florence for culinary school, and again when I brought my husband & our two cats to live in Lucca.
I’ve traversed Tuscany, soaked up the sun on the Amalfi coast, and been blown away by the cuisine of Bologna.
While the city may change, one thing has always remained the same — Italy is where I feel most alive.
Immersed in this culture, you can’t help but begin to slow down, soften & surrender to what life is really all about: living it. Full out, following your desires, indulging in earthly pleasures, ecstatically alive in all 5 senses.
Italy is magic.
And after spending 3 months living in the heart of Lucca, I know all of the most amazing places to show you, restaurants to take you to, and experiences to give you to fully immerse you in this magic.
Curating experiences like these is where my perfectionism & particularity thrive. I’ve planned & hosted six-figure 100+ people events, month-long multi-city group trips, and food & wine paired dinner parties.
Blended with my background in stress-relief, nervous system soothing, emotional leadership, and transformational facilitation, this retreat will feel like a vacation, yet will leave you entirely elevated on a cellular level.
