Our 
Story

We’re Daniella and Nancy, and our healing journeys began along the magical Amalfi Coast.

​

Surrounded by the sun, sea, and the soothing rhythms of nature, we found our way back to our true selves and reclaimed our lives.

​

The universe brought us together at a moment when we both needed to pause, breathe, and create space in our lives. In the heart of southern Italy, we supported each other as we slowed down, tuned into the elements, and reconnected with our inner selves.

​

Now, we’re eager to share the transformative insights we’ve gained with you. Join us on our wellness retreat and open yourself to new possibilities!

Nancy Yeung RYT, CA
​(Yoga teacher, Ayurvedic nutritionist, Lifestyle Coach)

Hello there! I'm Nancy, a spirited soul who found her heart's home along the stunning shores of the Sorrento Peninsula. Originally hailing from Sydney, I made the life-changing leap to Italy two years ago, and it was a decision that rewrote the story of my life.

​

Prior to my Italian adventure, the relentless pace of my previous corporate career left me feeling unfulfilled, yearning for a deeper connection, and constantly seeking more meaning.

​

It was the allure of the sea, the majesty of the mountains, and the genuine authenticity of Italian life that captured my spirit.

Inspired by this newfound love affair, I made a daring choice to step away from the corporate whirlwind and embarked on a transformative journey of healing.

 

I recognised the necessity of taking a pause, to breath, to carve out the sacred space needed to harmonize my body, mind, and soul. In that soulful pause, I rediscovered myself. I reshaped and redesigned a life that spoke to my essence.

 

Embracing each moment with unwavering commitment, I learned the art of living authentically and wholeheartedly.

My passion now lies in empowering others to navigate their own paths toward intentional living. I thrive on guiding and supporting individuals through their unique journeys, aiding them in finding their rhythm, purpose, and inner harmony.

​

Life here in Sorrento is not just a place—it's a way of being. It's about celebrating each sunrise, savoring the simplicity of life's joys, and embracing the beauty of living in tune with oneself. And I'm here to walk alongside you as you discover your own path to a fulfilling and intentional life.

Daniella Gentile RYT, M.Ed
​(Yoga/Meditation teacher, Life & Career planning, Mindful Educator)

Hi! I'm Daniella and I have been exploring the world of yoga, mindfulness and overall wellness for 20+ years. I am a true believer in the healing power of yoga through the holistic integration of breath, movement and connection to spirit and community.

​

After going through a number of life changes and high-stress, trauma-inducing situations in my life; yoga, meditation and breathwork are what I always came back to. As a naturally anxious person who was caught up in the 24/7 work-life 'unbalance', I was continuously living in a 'fight' or 'flight' stress response mode which began drastically affecting my health. Yoga, meditation, and the support from my community around me empowered me to regain control of my life and health and begin my true path. I decided to leave it all and start fresh. I felt called to do this by connecting to my roots in Italy and decided to move to Sorrento with my partner. This period of self-exploration, an emotional rollercoaster ride of guilt to excitement, and self-discovery helped me realize my purpose and path...which has led me here!

 

I love facilitating mindfulness and stress management workshops that are tailored to the person's or group's needs and have worked with a variety of people from school children to post-secondary students, professional staff, and corporate offices. I am also trained in career development support and it's my passion to support people holistically in discovering their true paths. 

I aim to make my yoga classes accessible and go beyond movement to incorporate elements of breathwork, meditation, and mantra.

​

I now aim to share what I've learned from my healing journey over the years and to support those who are feeling wrapped up in the chaos of our modern lives, to reset and begin anew.
