Lauvitel Lodge is the perfect place to try out a spiritual practice or two, such as yoga or T’ai Chi Chuan. Enjoy the luxury of taking time for yourself in the heart of nature and the comfort of being cared for by others. You will come away feeling rested and revitalised, with an inner calm that gives you outer strength to fully live your life.
You can pre-reserve any of these services when booking your room, or any time prior to arrival.
Join Caroline on the deck for a free morning practice session and start your day with stretching, yoga, T’ai Chi Chuan or Chi Kung before heading to breakfast. Whether you are new to this kind of practice or it is something you do regularly yourself, you will find it is a great way to start your day here in the mountains. More than this, it is something that you can take home with you, bringing the magic of the mountains into your everyday life.
Reiki provides deep healing on a purely energetic level allowing you to relax in a profound way that is more restorative than sleep, release blockages from past experiences that are held in the body memory, and rebalance the body in a way that is revitalizing and liberating.

Both a martial art and a meditation in motion, T’ai Chi Chuan is a process you can use to align mind and body. Using simple movements that are accessible to participants of all ages, Caroline brings her experience as a sports coach and her expertise as a life coach to reveal where you block your energy flow, where you overcommit, leaving yourself vulnerable, when fluidity and relaxation would serve you, and what it feels like to be fully in your power. You will come away feeling grounded and clearer about who you are and what you want.

I had the good fortune to receive a Reiki treatment with Caroline in an absolutely magical place at the foot of Lauvitel.
This moment was deeply transformative for me — not only energetically, but also physically. I had been suffering from severe migraines for a long time, and since that session, I haven’t had a single one.
I felt like I was finally able to let go of something I had been carrying inside me for decades.
A huge thank you, Caroline, for your presence, your gentleness and the power of your guidance.
I had been wanting to try Reiki therapy for a while to help me escape my daily worries. I took advantage of a stay at Lauvitel Lodge to try this energy-based approach with Caroline.
Her kind presence allowed me to feel completely at ease in her hands. During the session, I felt a sense of well-being and relaxation in my mind. My breath, which had been blocked in my upper body, suddenly began to descend and I was able to breathe more deeply from my abdomen. Her insights and comments during the session helped me to become aware of the origin of certain blockages.
At the end of the session, Caroline showed me some floor exercises that could help me to ground myself better and work on myself.
For several days afterwards, the session continued to have an effect. I highly recommend Reiki with Caroline.
A big thank you to Caroline for this Reiki session, which really gave me the keys to understanding!
Considerations
The least reassuring thing when you have an accident and you are far from everything is anxiety.
The most reassuring thing with Caroline is that after a Reiki session, there is nothing left to be anxious or worried about.
The session begins. Concentration is there. Silence falls, as it must, in order to listen. Then a conversation begins.
Then everything calms down: the body is already recovering from its fall, the mind becomes quieter and the emotions settle down.
Everything is fine. Everything is at its best.
A huge thank you for your generosity and for reminding me that we have the resources to adapt.
When I entered this magical, wood-scented room, I had the feeling of being in a place in the middle of the world and yet far away from everything. A refuge that simultaneously offers a protective framework for being able to stay completely with yourself and let go, and that, through the open, light-flooded windows, enables a connection with the surrounding mountain landscape.
Rarely have I had the feeling of being able to sense the harmony of body and mind immediately upon entering
My first Tai Chi experience was mind-blowing. The exercises Caroline did with us felt like meditation due to the harmonious connection between breathing and slow, flowing movement. Caroline said beforehand that we should observe during the exercises which of the elements felt most intense for us. In fact, each exercise ignited a different flow of energy and activated different harmonies between body and mind, similar to how the different strings of an instrument produce different tones.
The five classic elements of Tai Chi are earth, water, fire, wood, and air, each movement being connected to our inner energy.
The final exercise activates consciousness and thus forms a kind of reality-based framework so that the released energy can be used and consciously employed.
In this newly gained harmony between body and mind, we did another partner exercise.
Markus was the seaweed – first without roots – and I touched him with one hand being the water around him. The second step was being the seaweed with roots and the third step included the connection with the sky.
The result was amazing. Just because of the inner picture and the energy that came out of it, he could see what is most important to him right now: letting his own roots grow and become strong and stable.
I could have never imagined that such an experience would have such an impact. That I could understand his and my state of mind so clearly without using any words.
Caroline has such a calm, peaceful and at the same time high energetic aura. With her sparkling eyes full of ancient wisdom and a curiosity about those people who are open minded, she has the ability to enable a once in a lifetime experience.
She has created a wonderful place surrounded by the most beautiful nature embedded in a breath-taking Mountain scenery.
I can highly recommend this unique experience.
