Our Superpower?
Helping you build a healthier and happier life, with travel & photography taking center stage.
Rooted in the Italian lifestyle
(because, why not?)...
Years of working in education, living in Italy, & connecting with the world through the lens have profoundly shaped my approach.
I've learned that wellness is deeply personal, starts on the inside, and comes from creating a mosaic of everyday moments that nourish the mind, body, & spirit.
And the key?
Taking action, having lots of tools to build well-being, & leaning into activities that pique our agency, interest, and curiosity; like travel & photography.
Our mission is to help you slow down, be present, find joy, and better connect with yourself, others & the world. You in? Let's andiamo!
Welcome to Capturing Wellness, La Dolce Vita Way!
to be honest, our approach is a wee bit different than other wellness professionals...
Intentionally leaning into the power of travel to learn, grow, connect, heal, & transform.
Tapping into photography as an engaging path to happiness, self-discovery, & well-being.
Experiencing the Italian way of being by living life rooted in the presence & savoring of life's simple pleasures.
Just Imagine Yourself...
Capturing Wellness:
one moment, one photo, & one trip at a time.
HERE's WHAT THAT CAN LOOK LIKE:
Crafting an engaging, personalized, & holistic self-care framework to help you embrace change, challenges, & growth.
Taking action and using tools to support, align, & connect you with the direction of your personal growth.
Wellness is a connection of paths: knowledge & action.

ciao, i'm deanna...
I've loved creating my dream life in Italy. Exploring and learning about the world (and myself) with a camera in hand has been a gift.
Inspired by roots and wings from my family, I've created a meaningful life guided by the Italian way of living, a lifelong love of learning, an unshakeable sense of agency, & lots of gratitude. And I did it the only way I knew how, by showing up everyday and doing the work.
my motto?
travel often - take photos - be well
IN 2001, I OPTed out of the rat race & DECIDED TO invest in myself... undoubtedly, the BEST DECISION EVER!

My Education & Qualifications
As for me...
As a wellness travel coach and educator, I've adopted a big picture and holistic approach to health & well-being. Having dedicated years to understanding wellness through many lenses, here's what that looks like:
What I Believe...
I believe wellness is a pathway to optimal living.
An intentional way to live.
A pursuit of energy, balance, fulfillment & a little sanity (or some days a lot)!
It's about showing up every day, for better or worse.
And nourishing our mind, body & spirit... so we can meet our full potential.
I believe that travel greatly enriches life.
And is one of the best investments we can make in ourselves.
It's an ideal avenue for well-being, personal growth, & transformation.
To redirect us back to ourselves when needed.
And it's an endless source of inspiration, which we all need more of these days!
As for photography, it makes the journey more connective, enriching, & meaningful.
It shines a light on awe, beauty, & the moments worth capturing.
And slowing down to savor it all through the lens of la dolce vita, well...
that makes the journey even more magical!
