The Fiorella Sanctuary is a private inner-world retreat for the thoughtful, deep-feeling part of you that longs to rest.
Through immersive meditative experiences, sensory visualisations and soothing inner-world journeys, you are gently guided back toward softness, surrender and your Higher Self.
Created and curated by psychotherapist, meditation teacher and symbolic storyteller Gabriella de Mori.
This is your Sanctuary to return to at the end of a long day of trying, when you need your Self to be held, gently.
Benvenuta a Fiorella.
WELCOME MEDITATION
Enter the Sanctuary Vibes
A private doorway into a gentler inner world where you soften, surrender and nourish yourself.
This sound sanctuary is for the moments you feel tired of carrying everything, when your mind is yelling in different directions or overfull with half-completed ideas about how to help the world, while none of them feels enough. The manila folders of lists flood out like a never-ending filing cabinet you can’t seem to close.
I know that you’re masterful at navigating life and pushing through.
I know that you continue to give and show up and battle to become more.
I don’t need to inspire you to do that.
When you’ve been strong, thoughtful and endlessly resilient, somewhere beneath the constant movement of your life, you notice yourself quietly craving something softer.
Maybe it’s an older part of you that you loved and lost, or perhaps a spaciousness for a new version of you to emerge, bored and frustrated with the same old stories. Your mind is brilliant, and it holds a lot, too much at times. Too aware, too capable, too alive not to create and achieve, but often too full to deeply rest.
As an experienced psychotherapist, I have the privilege and honour of making space for the women behind all of that, the tired one, the pondering one, the curious one, the woman with abundant creativity who has somehow lost the keys to her art room.
The Fiorella Sanctuary isn’t my therapy room, it’s the garden I wish for you to rest in before or after you’ve done the deep work.
Here are the keys, welcome.
Inside Fiorella you’ll explore and ground into 12 foundational experiential meditative practices. These immersive audio experiences weave together symbolic inner-world journeys, sensory visualisations, soothing reflections, parts-work and moments of deep exhale, all designed to help you soften, settle and return to yourself.
You’ll first be greeted by the Butterfly Garden practice, where I invite you into the Sanctuary concept and guide you to hold reverence, wonder and awe for yourself, while experiencing my own holding and reverence for you.
This is your first signal to soften, surrender and receive. Shoulders will drop, and spirits will be nourished.
You’ll find immersive meditations, symbolic inner-world journeys and soothing reflections designed to guide you back toward yourself, not your performing self, not your hard-working parts, not the overwhelmed and overextended version of you, but the quieter, wiser place underneath all of that efforting and trying.
“I can rest here.”
“I am held and connected.”
“Ahh, here is my light, energy and creative potential.”
Some nights, you may soften into a deeply immersive meditation and float away.
Other days, you may chew on an intimate voice note of my contemplations, reflective questions and ideas to ponder.
Short, intentional transformations

Psycotherapist | Symbolic Story Teller | Meditation Teacher
For over a decade as a psychotherapist, I have sat beside women navigating overwhelm, trauma, anxiety, inner criticism, neurodivergence, grief, heartbreak, sensitivity and the exhausting experience of trying to hold themselves together in a world that asks so much of us.
My work drawns from over a decade of therapeutic work, symbolic storytelling, Internal Family Systems, EMDR-informed grounding practices and experiential healing approaches.
Again and again, I noticed that beneath all the coping and performing and overthinking, women were quietly longing for the same thing, somewhere safe enough to finally exhale, somewhere they could stop bracing for the next hard moment and simply be held in their humanity.
This body of work is my own ongoing exploration of that too.
How do we create lives we can actually rest inside?
How do we soften toward ourselves after years of only criticising ourselves while over-delivering?
How do we remain open, alive, creative and tender in a world that so often hardens us?
The Sanctuary is not a polished roadmap from someone standing on top of an imaginary mountain claiming to have transcended struggle.
It is a resting place of reverence and surrender, somewhere we can return to together while we figure out what it means to live more softly, more honestly and more fully.
You do the big brave world out there, easily. Come back here when you need somewhere gentler. Arrive exhausted through the doorway, the garden is waiting to catch you.
