“You have been a wonderful guide for us. We credit our work with you for the shift in our relationship. Since moving, we have been doing better than ever. Life has been so much less stressful, and we have been able to put your tools into practice and live with more kindness and generosity toward one another.”
“Francesca integrates an embodied sense of one’s essential self, grounded in mindful curiosity, which enables her to help clients lean into uncomfortable areas while holding a grounded, connected and relational space. I have learned a lot personally and clinically from Francesca’s antiracism work and it has helped me grow as a person, clinician and trainer.“
“Wanted to thank you for your presentation last week. I particularly like the way you weave together so many different strands of therapeutic intelligence, generational legacies of oppression and Buddhist wisdom. A number of people let me know how valuable it was for them. We appreciated not just the content of the talk but your embodied presence as you presented.”
“Francesca was so engaging and knowledgeable, I learned a ton about the topic of embodying anti-racism and have so much to apply personally and professionally. What was most beneficial about the program was Francesca’s intelligence, breadth of knowledge, her engaging nature, the embodiment exercises and Francesca’s personality and energy.”
“Francesca has an uncanny ability to create a grounded space where even a group of people who may not know each other somehow feel safe being vulnerable and authentic. She is able to listen deeply and weave together and crystallize the thoughts and reflections she hears into a coherent narrative that both makes us feel heard and understood, and also helps us to see the connections between us and bring us closer together. She is truly a gift.”
“I have been in more traditional types of therapy for the past 14 years, but Francesca’s method has been more effective for me than any others I’ve tried. I feel a deep sense of calm and trust. She has helped me integrate my plant medicine practices and weave all of my healing techniques into a beautiful blanket. ”
“Healing is not easy in the way I thought it would be but it is rigorous and connective and helps clear the mist that may be clouding you from achieving inner peace. I would definitely recommend that others work with Francesca.”
“Francesca has helped me to work as an advocate for myself, and to be proactive for beneficial change. She has guided me in my desire to change jobs for the better, resulting in a new job with a higher salary. She has also helped me enhance my self-awareness and improve my relationships with others.”
“Francesca has, in only a few sessions so far, changed how I view myself, my patterns, and my relationships for the better. Her work with me has made me a calmer, more grounded person who is more in touch with all the complex parts of myself.”
“Before working with Francesca, I had already tried to heal various traumas, but the methods I had been using were not enough to help me move past certain challenges. In our work together, I’ve learned skills to help calm my body and mind. My approach to stress, and to life, has been turned on its head. I highly recommend Francesca to anyone looking to process trauma, address ordinary life challenges, or simply improve their overall quality of life.”
