RETREATS LEADERS
Laura Malandrino
Ciao! I’m Laura — I’m Italian, raised with all the colors, flavors, and warmth of Italian culture. Life for me has always been about good food, laughter that fills the room, long conversations that stretch late into the night, and a deep love for beauty, friendship, and connection.
Italians know how to truly live — savoring the moment, embracing spontaneity, and celebrating life in all its imperfect, delicious messiness. That joy is at the heart of who I am and everything I do.
I’ve always been a restless spirit, driven by curiosity and a desire to connect deeply with others. My journey has taken me across cultures and experiences — from photography to social research, to marketing, and eventually to becoming a therapist. Every step has been about understanding people and what brings them alive, inspired, and connected.
Through Luna Blue Retreats, I bring all these passions together. I invite you to experience the Italy I love — the one my family calls home. We’ll wander the charming town where they live, explore the surrounding hills and hidden villages, and share meals that capture the very essence of Italian life. You’ll feel the slower rhythm of the countryside, the laughter of new friendships, and the simple, profound joy of truly being present.
Let me guide you to a place where life feels vibrant, beautiful, and full — where every meal, every view, and every conversation reminds you how sweet the present moment can be.
