Our Founder

My name is Olivia Radocchia, and I'm the founder & host of the Serenita Wellness Retreat. Since 2018, I’ve hosted 11 incredible groups of women in a fairy-tale Umbrian estate, tucked into rolling green hills and far from the outside world.

I'm fueled by my passion for Italy, its dynamic culture, simple yet decadent food, and its secret hidden gems. I was raised in an Italian-Canadian home where beloved traditions were cultivated over the years, my family nurturing within me a love of slow living, slow food, and connection to nature.

There’s nothing that fuels me more at our retreats than seeing so many smiling faces when a group of women first steps foot on the property, watching them ease into a natural state of “just being”, and witnessing lifelong friendships form. All the small moments of joy, reflection, and hearts touched at the end of each week reminds me why I’m on this path.

I am here to serve, to open up a magical, safe space for women to feel completely at ease to be themselves, to step into joy, wonder, play, and possibility.

I am here to bridge the gap between retreat reality, and “the real world” - to foster the growing community of international women of all ages. My vision is one where I can bring strangers together to inspire each other to take those steps into the unknown to feed their autonomy and freedom. And to remind each other just how powerful and essential sisterhood truly is.

I’m so grateful to have been inspired by all of the beautiful women I've met along the way, it has been the greatest gift in this adventure thus far.
