Love Letters from Italy
A private ritual of being seen, answered, and adored on Italian paper. In a small village in Italy, at a real table with real ink and real sunlight, a woman sits down to write just for you. Love Letters from Italy is a one-to-one, old-world ritual for women who are carrying something in their hearts—
a question, a confession, a secret, a desire—and want it to be witnessed with tenderness, beauty, and deep care.
You share what’s on your heart.
I read every word slowly.
Then, on a dedicated day, I write you a personal love letter by hand on old world Italian stationery, record an audio of your letter being read just for you, and send both the letter and a small, beautiful gift from Italy to your real-life mailbox.
This is not coaching or advice.
There is nothing to fix, optimize, or improve.
It is a moment of being fully seen and lovingly answered—
from my heart and my desk in Italy
to your heart and your home, wherever you are.
Why This Exists
We are more “connected” than ever and yet:
Our deepest questions often go unspoken.
Our quiet desires rarely make it out of our journals.
Our secrets and stories have nowhere gentle to land.
Love Letters from Italy exists for the words you don’t want to turn into content, a caption, or a call.
It is for the one thing you wish you could whisper into a safe, sacred ear… and receive something beautiful back.
Some things don’t need a strategy session.
They just want to be held, honored, and reflected back to you with love.
This offering makes space for that.
Who this is for
Love Letters from Italy is for women who are craving a slower, more intimate way to be witnessed—outside of programs, calls, and content. For the tender questions, thresholds, and desires that want to be held in ink rather than in a feed.
How It Works
1. You share.
After you purchase, you receive a private prompt and email address.
You can write:
a question you’re holding
a truth you’ve never said out loud
a moment you’re in the middle of
a desire, a heartbreak, a crossroads, a confession
There is no word count and no need to be “clear.”
You can send one note or many fragments as your scheduled day approaches.
You share only what feels safe and right for you.
2. One day is devoted to you.
On your dedicated day in Italy, everything else is set aside.
I make tea, light a candle, and sit with your words.
I read them slowly, more than once. I feel for what you’re really asking, what your heart is quietly longing for.
From there, I write you a bespoke love letter by hand on beautiful Italian stationery—
woven from your story, my intuition, and the sacred feminine wisdom that wants to meet you in this moment.
No templates. No copy-paste.
Just one woman writing to another, across an ocean.
I then record an audio of your letter, read aloud in my own voice, so you can listen in your own private moments—walking, resting, or falling asleep.
3. Something arrives.
Within a few weeks of your letter being written:
Your handwritten letter is mailed from Italy to your address.
A small, beautiful gift—chosen here in Italy as a quiet talisman for this moment—is tucked into your parcel.
Your audio recording is delivered to your inbox so you don’t have to wait to receive the essence of your letter.
It’s not merchandise.
It’s a tangible record that this moment in your life was seen, honored, and answered.

What participants have shared from a Soul Sparkle Experience:
"My experience on this retreat has been absolutely incredible and life changing. I had no idea what to expect or what I was even doing signing up for this. At times before I felt such a wide range of emotions including fear, doubt, anxiety and apprehension.
I’d never gone to a retreat before and especially one where I did not know anyone. This was so out of character for me! I came with an open heart and open soul, willing to receive whatever was here waiting for me and receive I did.
During the last five days I have truly landed with and accepted that I am willing to do whatever it takes to live my dreams and that I am deserving of doing so.
I have increased my value and self worth to a level I have never felt before. I trust in this process and see the results from it already. Our time in meditation and session has transformed how I feel and value myself and how I life my life. I have felt so loved, supported and inspired by my experience here.
I’ve felt nothing but love and support the whole time I’ve been here. The environment and space they created has been safe, sacred and incredibly caring. They value each of us greatly for who we are and what we bring and for that I am forever grateful.
I have learned valuable spiritual practices and have raised my self awareness and spiritual openness to a whole new and powerful level. I am leaving with a newfound sense of self, a deeper understanding of my own self worth and a roadmap for my future and lifelong sisters.
I will forever cherish my time here and I can’t wait to reunite again on a future retreat! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for allowing the space for me to see and discover the life I have always wanted to live!" Cristina Rodriguez, California USA
“If there was a true life version of Glenda, the good witch, a bringer of joy and light ... I think it would be this woman. I had the pleasure of meeting her this weekend and she is truly a gift on this earth. If you're struggling with inner peace, loving yourself, or just need someone to lift you up, let this beautiful woman brighten your day. She changed my entire outlook on life and freed me from the burden I've been carrying for almost seven years... blaming God for taking Kathryn from me and not answering my prayers to save her. That's a lot of heaviness to carry. Now I accept with gratitude that he CHOSE me to do good for others through this painful experience and I am thankful that this is my life mission.” Alexa Bigwarfe
This has been a beautiful experience that I would recommend to anyone who wants to get their sparkle back! This has been a remarkable weekend!
— Linda Murden // Ohio
“A transformative, inspirational weekend surrounded by beautiful souls. It was a blessing to see each of these women blossom into their strength and express their fears and desires in life. I come away with deep new friendships and focus on what I want in my life to be my happiest self. Thank you for helping my sparkle shine bright!
— Love, Kris // Iowa
“My experience at Soul Sparkle Ojai has been life changing. It is hard to put into words the love and connection I felt to a group of women I just met. I was able to face some of my fears (some just realized) and to dream of a life I desire. I feel this is just a step into becoming and learning the person I was destined to become. The leaders here are so knowledgeable and so willing to share their wealth of knowledge with us. I would highly recommend this weekend for all women. You will make new friends that will last a life time, who will support you in whatever you do. Thank you to all the leaders and lovely ladies!
— Sue Anderson // Arizona
“For the first time EVER, I have truly shared and truly connected to a group of women. Our group truly respected and communicated and shared at our deepest level in our deepest souls. The outcome is Soul Sparkle and sparkle they do! I thank you for this experience, it was truly transformative for me. With much sparkling love!
— Cyndi // Ohio
“Being a part of the Soul Sparkle weekend was like having a slumber party with 20 best friends you never knew you had. The connection with each other was immediate and the commonality among us all was uncanny. We played, we laughed, we cried, we danced, and we were loved until our souls sparkled.

“This was a wonderful event, for myself but not alone. I loved this group of women and it would not have been the same without a single one of them.

“It was an incredible setting and an incredible group of women. The weekend just sort of unfolded slowly into the experience it became. I really feel you introduced us slowly to the “unpeeling” of the things that were dimming our sparkle and keeping each of us from becoming the women we were meant to be. The “sparkle of my life” was definitely missing in my life and I am now on my way to grabbing it for my life!

"This experience will transport and transform you in ways you cannot begin to imagine. Your heart will overflow with love and strength and sisterhood. This experience lets you find your soul sparkle, but even more than that it shows you the sparkling souls of the women around you and the love they can share."

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for organizing this ENTIRE experience! We all know Paris, even if we've just seen pictures. But the trip I took with the Soul Sparkle ladies was more than just an overseas trip to Europe, it was SOUL CHANGING. I healed myself. Myself. And most importantly the little girl inside of me. I forgave myself and learned to be patient and set intentions for the future. Thank you for bringing me out of my shell and helping me heal."
"So far I have spent two weekend retreats with Hayley for the Soul Sparkle experience and am part of her Mastery to Magic program. I'm sure most of you know the importance of attending retreats and events, the right ones that is. It lights your soul up and connects you to another level. It allows the flow of inspiration to come flooding through and what ever else the retreat is actually for.
Working with Hayley is so much more. It is a space where you can feel safe and loved as you release your shadows, your B.S beliefs, release that which does not serve you. It's a space where you can feel loved and adored, at the same time as being fully supported while loving and adoring the being you are. I stepped more into my truth than I have ever done before and this of course was important for me as this is the work I was truly destined to do in the world.
Hayley is truly there, I mean really!!! Hand holding there, "What do you need from me" Is her words. In the space and time we are in, its what I need the most and then we take it from there. How blooming awesome is that, everything worked around what was for me. What was for my highest good.
Some need a bit of structure, yet being adaptable is important for me. I feel in most retreats it's important to tune in and see how your group are doing and shift with that. Hayley does this perfectly, even to the point of seeing the importance of me ridding a curse I had put on myself 20 years prior. A tattoo that had a sad and dark meaning to it, and boom, we found the perfect place, the perfect time, the perfect woman to join us in removing, replacing and allowing more of me and my truth to appear. That shed nearly 10 layers all at once and that was for my highest good. Everything flowed perfectly, of course.
I feel more of me than ever, I feel more ready than ever to serve the women I am called to, my power is unleashed, my truth is unleashed, I feel ready to shine in the world as the women I was always destined to be.
I very much look forward to the continued magic that is happening and waiting to happen as together we have made a life long connection, united bringing transformation, magic and an abundance of love to the world.
Yeah..... I would say the retreats and the Mastery to Magic program with Hayley, are pretty fecking awesome!!" Bryanna Smith
"This entire experience was beyond my wildest dreams-which is what I've been needing. To expand my idea of what is possible for my world even as someone who has traveled and does this type of "work" for a living. I needed the powerful reminder and opportunity to shatter my own limiting beliefs. Hayley is the epitome of a magical, ethereal guardian angel-she got me to push past my money barriers and get how completely taken care of I am. Thank God she did, being in Paris was a 25 year dream come! Add that to the hearings I got from the Master Classes and I feel I am going back home a changed woman, but as opposed to transforming into new and unrecognizable, I got to come back home, to the essence that has always been there and just needed permission to come out and play. Whatever is in the way of someone attending a Soul Sparkle Experience, is the very thing that needs to be healed and overcome for our Soul's liberation." -Natalie V
"The Soul Sparkle Paris experience was magical. Connecting with a group of women I had never met seemed like it would be awkward-but it wasn't. After only one day together people we met when we were out as a group thought we had been friends forever! The laughter, the tears, the acceptance was so easy and natural. To bare your soul in such a safe, warm environment is a powerful and freeing experience." Cristy, Oklahoma
“I just returned from the Soul Sparkle Morocco experience with Hayley and Khalil It was like joining a loving family for a trip to one of the most treasured places on earth. We were so well taken care of, staying in exquisite villas in Marrakech and Essaouira with wonderful staff attending to our wellbeing. On site hammams and massage, gorgeous tagines for dinner, Moroccan teas and morning coffees, evenings by woodfires. Delightful day trips through old souqs, into the villages of the Atlas mountains, and a sunset camel ride by the ocean. Pampering in Morocco. What could be better. All under the loving attention of Hayley and Khalil who made sure we had the best experience of his beautiful country. A memorable life experience.” Maureen Thompson
“Hayley’s experiences are truly magical. I recently traveled to Morocco with Hayley, her husband and a small group of ladies. We stayed at a beautiful villa in Marrakech, traveled to the Atlas Mountains, and participated in a tour of the Medina where we learned about spices, teas and even sampled a variety of traditional foods. We then traveled to the beach town of Essaouira and stayed at yet another beautiful villa. The views and sunsets from the villa were stunning, but the highlight of this area to me, was a camel ride along the beach at the end of a day.
I highly recommend participating in one of Hayley’s adventures. Hayley makes it a priority her guests are always comfortable and well cared for at all times. She loves to expose and introduce you to the culture of the area in which you travel to. Wherever she “sparkles” the experience will be magical and one you will never forget. 5 out of 5 stars for sure!” Sue Anderson
