Join us for a unique and rich experience in magical Umbria. We will be staying an ancient and serene Country home that has been beautifully restored.

Picture walls of stone aged by the centuries. Fresh and cozy rooms filled with ancient and exotic furniture. Gardens of manicured lawns and olive trees. The scent of lavender and rosemary filling the air. A swimming pool kissed by sunlight. Numerous paths running through woods, down to the stream in the valley below.

Locanda del Gallo is a 17th Century country estate set off the beaten track on a hilltop with stunning views in every direction. Warm hospitality, excellent food, tranquility and charm – this is rustic Italy at its best. It’s one of those truly special places that will remain in your heart.

We meet again for the Dolce Vita (sweet life) in beautiful Umbria, September 19-26, 2026

YOUR RETREAT LEADER

Hello future Rising Moon Sister,

I am so pleased you are here and considering a retreat in Italy with me.

I’ve spent over 20 years working in the field of women’s health, wellness, and self-care. I founded Fit4You in 2000 to help women feel strong and empowered in their bodies. After presenting at international conferences and teaching health and fitness professionals for over a decade, I shifted my focus to supporting women through separation and divorce. To best serve my clients I use a combination of traditional talk coaching and spiritual practices to guide clients through this challenging time in their lives.

To serve you better, I’ve become Reiki attuned and certified as well as a Breath and Meditation Coach with Escape Haven, earned an Energy Healing Certificate from the Academy of Energy Healing, and completed Restorative Yoga teacher training at Sarovara Yoga.

I believe every woman can heal herself and create the life she deserves, beginning with self-care, self-discovery, and self-love. This philosophy is at the heart of the Rising Moon Sisters Retreats, which I currently run in Costa Rica, Europe, and Canada.

My open-mindedness, flexibility, and passion have supported and inspired thousands of women through coaching, memberships, online courses, and retreats.

I’m a proud mother of four adult sons, remarried to Glen, and a stepmom to three. I’m also the happy mom of my forever puppy, Finnigan. My favourite pastimes include spiritual practices, continuous learning, reading, mountain biking, skiing, spending time with family and friends, and watching the sun and moon rise and set.

I can’t wait to take you on a life-changing journey at one of my upcoming retreats.

Yours in healing and light,

Elisabeth xo
