The House of Wellness Project
The transformation underway is called "The House of Wellness", a place where to give more space to everything related to personal growth, care and self-research, intended as prevention but also to alleviate minor ailments and improve one's physical appearance.
In addition to the traditional treatments and disciplines already offered in the past, there is also an interest in organic nutrition and the support of natural supplements for complete well-being.
For the moment The House of Wellness offers a virtual space on the website, where it will be possible through the blog to receive useful information, advice and testimonials on how to keep fit, access exclusive wellness products.
The home service will be active soon.
Giving a physical place to “The House of Wellness” will be the next step.
A rural house with a garden, as self-sustainable as possible, spaces for Yoga and Meditation, massage area, organic cooking workshops.
The House of Wellness is the house of God.
About me
My Story
My name is Raffaele Lai, I was born in Turin in 1972.
Since I was a child I have always been very curious to know. This over the years has deeply marked my character and made me devote myself to the search for truth through reading books and with more practical and experiential methods such as Yoga discipline. In addition, my compassionate soul made me begin to take care of others through the art of massage.
