Trusted Tuscany Professionals
After living and working in Italy since 2016, I’ve had the privilege of building meaningful relationships with an incredible community of professionals who serve both expats and visitors in Tuscany. Over the years, clients have often asked me for trusted recommendations beyond massage and wellness, and this page is my way of sharing the people and businesses I genuinely respect and regularly refer.
This curated list includes wellness practitioners, retreat collaborators, wedding and travel professionals, artisans, and experience creators who embody professionalism, integrity, and a deep love for what they do. Whether you’re planning a retreat, organizing a destination wedding, or simply looking to enrich your time in Tuscany, I hope these connections help you feel supported, inspired, and well cared for.
