the pathway

Modular services that move with you.

This is your one-stop-shop to compose a wellness journey selecting services that meet your family care needs — for a holiday, for everyday life, or both.

1

Co-design

Services shaped with the families that use them.

Rinfresca's services have been developed through co-design sessions with real families so packages reflect concrete, real needs rather than assumptions.

  • Personalise selected services to your family
  • Build a family calendar that fits your routine
  • Iterative — your feedback shapes ongoing programs
2

Respite Retreat

Stays organised in every detail for the whole family at carefully selected destinations.

Caregivers regenerate through spa treatments, nature walks, group workshops, herbal remedies, massage and nutritional therapy — or sporting and cultural activities if they want a more stimulating break. At the same time, family members with special needs and their siblings receive tailored support from professional workers in a parallel Respite Camp.

  • Caregiver Retreat: spa, nature, massage, nutrition, workshops, self-care
  • Respite Camp: music & art therapy, animal education, cooking, natural cosmetics
  • First destination: La Fiorida (Valtellina)

Life Coaching & Autogenic Training

Sessions to develop targeted, tangible quality-of-life improvements.

Set your well-being goals and learn portable stress management and performance enhancement techniques inspired by no limits free-diving and adapted to the context of family life with special needs. Based on the principle that certain bodily sensations are associated with specific changes in the body. Guided exercises for a skill to harness towards increased energy recovery, self-induced calm through relaxation, and recurring stress management.

  • Individual sessions with certified operators
  • Goals defined by the caregiver, not prescribed
  • Available alongside of a retreat or online

Micro-respite

Moments of respite during the day — caregiver and dependant, in parallel.

The service that differentiates Rinfresca most. Rather than sending a worker to your home for a few hours, Micro-respite meets families where you already go for routine activities — pairing caregiver and dependant activities at the same partner facility, at the same time.

  • At an Allied Health Centre: dependant in occupational therapy while caregiver has a foot reflexology session, facial massage or foot bath
  • At a Gym: caregiver does fitness, pilates, yoga or spa while dependant joins art therapy or music therapy
  • Booked as a paired slot — one booking, two simultaneous experiences
5

Self-Advocacy Art Workshop

The whole family creates an artwork expressing their care needs.

At each retreat — and on request to schools, museums, day centres and companies — the family/team comes together to create an artwork that expresses care needs that too often stay latent. The works are exhibited online and in galleries through Our Right to Respite, a self-advocacy exhibition supporting an international collaborative network for the rights of people with disability.

  • Voluntary, facilitated, deeply personal
  • Exhibited in Our Right to Respite — online and physical galleries
  • Also offered to schools, Corporate Social Responsibility programs, HR training
6

Webinars

Free interactive group sessions, also available as podcasts.

Open to anyone interested in listening and asking questions to guests invited to present their work — counsellors, family planning experts, family planning experts in special needs trusts and wills, disability advocates, neuropsychiatrists, naturopaths, healing arts practitioners and relevant topics you suggest.

  • Free and accessible — no membership required
  • Live, interactive, with Q&A
  • Recorded and released as podcast episodes

Build Your Balance
