Community Highlights: Meet Letizia Silvestri

Today we’d like to introduce you to Letizia Silvestri.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started? 
Ciao! I’m Letizia Silvestri, and I’m thrilled to share the transformative journey that led me to found Altha. My roots are deeply planted in Italy, but my path has twisted through some unexpected turns. While orchestrating high-end events for luxury automotive brands in Los Angeles, I found myself passionate about creating enchanting atmospheres. However, despite taking care of myself, the relentless stress took its toll, and I developed an autoimmune disease. Traditional doctors told me it was incurable and that I would need lifelong medication. 

During this challenging time, I rescued Zen, an abused dog who became my dear companion. In my quest to heal him, I discovered the profound healing powers of sound therapy, which surprisingly began to heal both of us after conventional methods had failed. This personal healing experience ignited a passion within me to explore further and eventually master the art of sound healing and hypnotherapy. 

Now, as a Board-Certified Clinical hypnotherapist with global training in various holistic traditions, I am dedicated to sharing the healing gift of sound. Altha was born from a desire to bring this gift to others who are navigating their own health challenges or seeking profound transformation in their lives. 

My background in the corporate world also inspired me to tailor wellness programs specifically for businesses. These programs are designed to alleviate stress, enhance creativity, and bolster the immune system through scientifically backed methods and holistic practices, ultimately fostering healthier, more productive work environments. 

At Altha, we blend the art of sound healing with the precision of hypnotherapy to create personalized, transformative experiences that nurture body, mind, and soul. Whether through private sessions or corporate wellness initiatives, our goal is to help you unlock human potential for healing and rejuvenation. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Reflecting on my journey, I can certainly say it has been a road filled with both challenges and triumphs. Transitioning from the high-paced world of luxury event design to the more introspective field of sound healing and hypnotherapy was not without its bumps. The biggest struggle, personally, was dealing with my autoimmune condition, which doctors claimed was incurable and required lifelong medication. This diagnosis was not only a physical and emotional battle but also a pivotal moment that steered me towards holistic healing. 

Another challenge was gaining acceptance and credibility in the wellness industry. Coming from a background centered around luxury brands and high-end events, shifting people’s perception—to see me as a knowledgeable and skilled wellness practitioner—required patience, resilience, and continuous education. Each step required me to dive deeper into my practice, constantly learning and evolving to ensure that I could offer the most effective and scientifically backed healing techniques. 

Additionally, navigating the business aspect of running Altha posed its own set of challenges. Building a brand that stands at the intersection of luxury and wellness while ensuring it resonates with both private clients and corporate entities demanded strategic thinking and a clear understanding of my audience’s needs. 

Despite these challenges, the journey has been incredibly rewarding. Every obstacle has been a learning opportunity, pushing me to grow and better equip myself to help others on their paths to wellness. The connections I’ve made, the stories of transformation I’ve witnessed, and the joy of sharing the healing power of sound and hypnotherapy continue to fuel my passion and commitment to this work. 

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business?

Our vision is to make the profound benefits of sound healing and hypnotherapy accessible to all, ensuring that each person who joins us on this journey feels valued, cared for, and rejuvenated. 

What makes you happy?
What truly brings me joy is witnessing the transformative power of sound healing in the lives of those I work with. It’s the moments when a client finds peace or relief from pain during one of our sessions or when a guest leaves feeling more connected to their inner self than they have in years—these experiences fuel my passion and commitment to this path. 

Zen, my beloved rescue dog, has been a profound teacher in my journey. Healing him from his past traumas using sound therapy not only deepened my understanding of this modality but also showed me the resilience of the spirit. His recovery and transformation have been nothing short of miraculous, and they serve as a constant reminder of the healing potential we all possess. 

In my daily practice, whether it’s conducting a session for a private client or leading a corporate wellness workshop, the opportunity to spread healing is what motivates me. Each sound bath, each hypnotherapy session is a chance to create a ripple effect of wellness and positivity. The joy I derive from this work is not just in the act of healing but in the sharing of these powerful tools, enabling others to find their own paths to health and harmony. This is what makes me profoundly happy—the ability to touch lives and witness the unfolding of each individual’s healing journey.
