Here are the new Mi Fa Stare Bene tips for March.

At the corner of Piazzale Dateo and Via Carlo Poma in Milan, a new space has been born that brings together movement, strength, recovery, and design under one roof: THRIOM. Not just a simple gym, but a true contemporary urban spa where body and mind meet. Yoga, reformer Pilates, flow, liberating dance, functional training, and personalized strength work are combined with innovative recovery therapies such as hydrogen therapy and compression boots. Here, wellness is holistic, structured, and refined. The rooms alternate between energy and calm, with a white and terracotta palette in an environment where design becomes part of the experience.
The mission? To create a space where people feel supported, motivated, and guided to integrate wellness into their lives in a natural and sustainable way.
Behind this project is Marie Van Rijckeghem, a young, determined, and highly athletic Belgian founder. She began her career in fintech, developing focus, organization, and strategic vision. At the same time, movement has always been at the center of her life. She lived and worked in major European cities such as London and Amsterdam, where she came into contact with international environments and more evolved visions of wellness. She then chose to deepen her passion by completing a teacher training program to become a yoga instructor, transforming what had been a personal source of energy into professional expertise.
She eventually arrived in Milan, where she decided to give concrete form to her vision: a space that combines structure and creativity, discipline and freedom. THRIOM is built on six pillars: authenticity, empowerment, connection between cultures, evolution and growth, respect, and excellence. In a constantly evolving Milan, THRIOM brings an international and refined vision of wellness.

There are some projects that strike me because they speak about wellness in a concrete way, without slogans or perfectionism. And for me, THE SOCIAL SAUCE is one of them.
It began in 2019 from a spontaneous exchange of recipes on WhatsApp and grew around a simple yet incredibly powerful idea: helping one another in real life by sharing recipes, ideas, and solutions that can truly make everyday life easier. From that original chat, and thanks to the very first “Saucers,” Alessandra and Chiara, The Social Sauce evolved into a website collecting all of their recipes and more, as well as an Instagram profile and a WhatsApp channel: a lively, useful, and constantly growing community.
This is where I feel a strong connection with my own idea of wellness. Because feeling well does not mean doing everything perfectly. It means building healthy habits that are sustainable, realistic, and compatible with busy days, tight schedules, work, children, tiredness, and the thousand decisions we have to make.
One of the things I find most beautiful is that this community never loses its human and playful side. Each participant is recognizable by her own style and a foodie nickname, and just reading names like “Schiumarola,” “Wooden Spoon,” or “Mussaka Queen” immediately conveys the identity, lightness, and authenticity of the project.
Although it has a strong connection to Milan, The Social Sauce brings together women and cuisines from different cities, creating an ever-widening network that continues to grow from a very real need: making life a little lighter, even at the table.
If you are a woman, a mother, or a busy professional constantly on the go, and you feel the need for simple, tested, and genuinely shared ideas, The Social Sauce is a project worth knowing about. Because sometimes wellness begins here too: with a recipe that saves your evening, with an idea that lightens your mental load, with a community that makes you feel understood.
