This retreat is your opportunity to step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and deep relaxation in one of Spain's most enchanting coastal areas.
Join our journey of self-discovery and self-nourishing as we restore balance and harmony within ourselves. At this retreat, we invite you to immerse yourself in experiences that awaken each of your senses, drawing on the power of connection with nature and it's elements of earth, fire, air, and water to guide you.
By nourishing our senses through these elemental connections, we find ourselves more deeply attuned to the rhythms of nature and our own inner needs. This harmonious relationship with the natural world fosters a deep sense of peace, self-awareness, and healing, allowing us to reconnect with our true selves in the most elemental and essential ways.
Earth grounds us as we walk barefoot on the warm soil, feeling the strength and stability beneath our feet. The rich aroma of herbs and blooming flowers fills the air, connecting us to the nurturing embrace of the land. Fire ignites our inner passion as we gather around a flickering flame, sharing stories and warmth, feeling the energy of transformation and renewal. The taste of freshly prepared meals, infused with the vibrant flavors of the earth, awakens our senses and fuels our bodies.
As we breathe deeply, Air fills our lungs with the crisp, clean breeze of the Mediterranean coast, bringing clarity and lightness to our minds. We listen to the whispering wind as it carries the wisdom of nature, reminding us of our connection to the world around us. Water soothes and refreshes, whether we’re dipping into the cool, clear sea, listening to the gentle lapping of waves, or simply sipping on pure, revitalizing water. This element cleanses us, washing away stress and leaving us feeling renewed.
At the heart of our retreat is the powerful bond of sisterhood, where women come together to support, uplift, and inspire one another. Throughout our time together, you'll have the opportunity to connect deeply with like-minded women in a nurturing and empowering environment.
Our inspiring workshops are designed to foster personal growth, self-discovery, and meaningful connections. Led by Elisabeth, these sessions will guide you through transformative practices, from meditation and creative expression to sharing circles, yoga and personal development exercises. Together, we'll create a space where every woman can feel seen, heard, and valued, leaving you with lasting friendships and a renewed sense of confidence and purpose.
The village of Guadalest, Spain, has origins in the 11th century when the Moors built a fortress there.
Originating as an Islamic region, Guadalest used to be a border of the ancient Almohad Caliphate before its collapse. During the Medieval times the town used to be hidden by wild vegetation, with the only access through a tunnel.
We will tour the village and spend time in the quant little shops.

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
