The Aurora Retreat: La Dolce Vita Meets Deep Healing

7 Days in Grottamare, Italy | September 21–27, 2025

For London Professionals Who Need More Than a Holiday—They Need a Reset

“You’ve hustled for the career, the lifestyle, the ‘perfect’ Instagram life—but your body and mind are running on empty.”

The Aurora retreat is your permission slip to pause, heal, and rediscover joy—with morning breathwork on a sun-drenched terrace, lazy afternoons by the sea, and evenings filled with sound baths and aperitivo. This retreat extends our clinic’s work—offering a space to heal deeply, away from London’s demands.

Only 4 Rooms Left | Early-Bird Pricing Ends May 31st

For the Overachiever Who’s Forgotten How to Rest

Why This Retreat?

You’re someone who “has it all”—demanding job, enviable travels, a calendar full of events. But beneath the surface:

  • Your mind won’t shut off, even on weekends.
  • You’re tired of relying on caffeine (or wine) to power through.
  • You crave real renewal—not just another holiday where you return more exhausted.

Hosted by the founders of Hito Holistic Health —a London clinic renowned for its integrative approach to chronic stress and pain. Here, you’ll experience the same expert care, but with the added magic of Italian sunshine, sea, and stillness.

Italy Meets Intentional Healing

We’ve designed a retreat that balances structured self-care with the slow, joyful rhythm of Italian life:

Mornings

Breathwork, meditation, mobility exercises and stretching to rewire your stress response.

Days

Free to explore medieval villages, swim in the Adriatic, or nap by the pool.

Evenings

Sound baths, workshops, and communal Italian dinners under the stars.

Your Hosts: From Corporate Burnout to Holistic Healing

We are a husband-and-wife team dedicated to helping people heal from complex physical conditions. Our shared passion lies in supporting others on their healing journey by creating safe, nurturing spaces for deep restoration. At Hito Holistic Health, and now through the Aurora Retreat, we bring together our complementary expertise to guide people toward true, lasting well-being — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Alessio – Holistic Physiotherapist

“Your body speaks—we just need to listen.”

Alessio blends Eastern therapies (acupuncture, chakra healing, sound healing) with Western medical techniques (physiotherapy, craniosacral therapy, myofascial induction therapy) to treat complex conditions like chronic pain, migraines, vertigo, TMJ dysfunction and stress-related digestive issues. His approach helps you release physical tension stored from years of “pushing through.” His sessions are designed to address not only physical symptoms but also the emotional and energetic imbalances that may lie beneath them.

Julie – Ex-Corporate Auditor and Senior Finance Professional Turned Life Coach and Breathwork & Meditation Guide

“I traded boardrooms for breathwork—and found real success.”

After 20 years in Big 4 auditing and global finance, Julie left corporate life to redefine “success” post-motherhood. Now a certified life coach and breathwork guide, she specializes in helping professionals design balanced lives without sacrificing ambition. She helps her clients release stress, reconnect with their purpose, and realign their personal and career goals — especially when emotional overwhelm is showing up as physical symptoms. She brings warmth, structure, and intuition to everything she does. She also leads on Hito’s finance, operations, and marketing activities.
