Healing happens in relationship.

My 1:1 trauma-informed coaching offers a body-first space to heal your relationship with food and body image and to return home to yourself at a pace your nervous system can integrate.

This work is for people navigating eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, emotional eating, or nervous system overwhelm; for anyone longing to feel more authentic, nourished, and safe in their body.

This work is for those who know that healing isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level strategies, but about showing up over time and being compassionately witnessed in that process. 

The focus is not on “fixing” your relationship with food or your body through a protocol or plan, but on understanding what your system has learned, what it’s protecting, and how to build the capacity to meet yourself with greater understanding, choice, and self-trust.

Together, we listen beneath symptoms, work with the emotional and somatic roots of patterns, and support a way of living that feels honest, resourced, and aligned with who you are becoming.

This work unfolds over time. I bring the same presence, care, and depth of attention to every container—what changes is what time makes possible. Repetition is how the nervous system learns; safety deepens through relationship; and some work asks for enough time to be met responsibly. You're invited to choose the level of support that best matches your current season, capacity, and intentions

Whether you’re connecting with me online from anywhere in the world or joining me in person in Cape Town, this work offers a compassionate, trauma-informed, embodied approach to healing your relationship with food and body.

ANCHOR

1 MONTH ( 4 SESSIONS )

For those beginning this work—or those who've tried everything and want to see how this is different before going deeper.

A complete foundational process, whole in itself. Over four weeks, we begin reconnecting with your body and exploring the roots beneath food and body patterns.

You will leave with:

  • At least one personalized nervous system regulation tool, practiced until it's yours

  • A clearer understanding of what drives your patterns around food—what your system has learned, and what it's protecting

  • A felt, first-hand sense of what somatic work is and how your body responds to it

Anchor does not include plant medicine work.

Align

3 Months ( 12 Sessions )

For those bridging into a new chapter of their healing and ready to go deeper into the somatic terrain of food, feelings, and identity.

Over three months, we map your inner landscape—and build the capacity and trust to navigate it.

  • Develop your interoceptive map: learn to read your body's signals, recognize your triggers, and know how to support yourself

  • Work with shame, fear, anger, grief, and longing, and rewrite limiting beliefs

  • Integrate nervous system regulation skills for emotional resilience

  • Option to weave in one intentional microdosing cycle, with personalized guidance, plus preparation and integration support for a ceremonial journey, where relevant

Alchemize

6 Months ( 24 Sessions )

For those ready to sustain real, lasting change—to live from a new way of being, not just glimpse it.

Six months gives us the time and safety to stay with the deeper patterns, and to consolidate change so it holds.

  • Tend to attachment patterns, developmental material, and the habitual somatic defenses that often keep eating disorder behaviours running

  • Room to work with ancestral patterns and identity beyond the eating disorder, as they arise

  • Visionary work: exploring belief structures, embodying desired states through art, movement, and ritual, and envisioning a life rooted in trust, creativity, and belonging—making space for the new where the old has been cleared

  • Up to two personalized microdosing cycles, plus preparation and integration support for a ceremonial journey, where relevant

  • Time to integrate new beliefs, rituals, and practices into daily life — so that change takes root rather than fades

Each container is priced based on its length, with longer containers offered at a gentler monthly rate.

I'll walk you through all options on our free discovery call.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • Francesca has the kindest, most gentle loving spirit that creates such a safe space for healing.

    Nothing is ever forced or prescriptive in our sessions. Rather, Francesca holds space beautifully for my recovery to unfold in its own way and time. Through our work together, it feels like Francesca accesses her own deep healing wisdom to provide intuitive and creative guidance and support. And I feel her constant, authentic care during and between sessions.

    Working with Francesca is unlike any kind of eating disorder recovery I’ve ever done. I feel so fortunate to be able to navigate the recovery and healing path with her. 


    - Robin

  • I’ve been through years of therapy for CPTSD, read libraries of books on endless paths of healing. My toolbox overflows with coping skills. My vision of a future was a lifetime of managing symptoms.

    Then I met Francesca. She has been gently placing me back in my body and showing me how my body is my greatest resource in healing. She is thoughtful, wise and insightful, gentle and powerful. She begins with assumption that I have the answers, coaxes my knowing and wisdom out of me and places it on my lap.

    Our work has been especially significant because not only am I healing from the past but still navigating incredibly unique and challenging circumstances.

    Her open, loving presence and compassion creates a powerfully fertile space for healing to occur. I’ve found a companion and fellow traveller for life in Francesca  and am so deeply grateful. 

    – Oviya

  • I feel so inspired to have connected with Francesca; her wisdom is beyond anything I have experienced.

    Her wisdom inspires me to look at things not only with intelligence but with wisdom: a more knowledgeable, insightful, discerning, compassionate, approach to who I am, while encouraging me in the integration process that leads to deeper wholeness. She is non-judgemental and is able to hold everything that I am in a sacred space which in turn encourages me to see myself with more compassion and love.

    She has turned my inner critic into an inner advocate. She has led me to accept and believe in ALL parts of who I am. I am so grateful to Francesca and thank the universe for connecting us.

    - William

  • I have been doing therapy for over 20 plus years and I have never connected to anyone like I have with you.

    I truly appreciate how you explain things to me. And how you are able to tell me things in a way that I can understand them and in turn relate it back to my life. What you have done for me has been life changing. I am so very grateful to have found you, and you were able to work with me. The universe was really watching out for me.

    I can truly say that I have never made this much progress in my mental health in the last 20 years. I have been working so hard in the past two years to be the best version of myself but meeting you has really improved it more than I could ever explain.

Microdosing & Psychedelic Integration for Somatic Healing

Microdosing SUPPORT

(available within Align and Alchemize coaching containers)

Microdosing can be a subtle and steady way to reconnect with your body, soften patterns of self-protection, and grow emotional capacity. When paired with somatic practices and intention, it becomes a multidimensional tool that can catalyze change in everyday life.

For clients who are curious or already working with microdosing, this support can be woven into our ongoing 1:1 work if you choose the Align or Alchemize coaching container.

I offer personalized guidance to explore microdosing safely and with intention. Together, we create conditions for insights to integrate and for healing to take root in daily life.

Plant medicine can support more than recovery; it can deepen our capacity to feel, relate, and live with integrity through the body.

Psychedelic Preparation & Integration

(also available as part of 1:1 coaching, where relevant)

A psychedelic journey can reveal potent truths, but the real ceremony is the one you live afterward. Integration is about weaving those insights into your nervous system, your relationships, and your daily rhythms. It’s about remembering these truths and embodying it in the day-to-day.

I offer preparation and integration support before and after a medicine journey, sharing bottom-up and top-down tools that you can use to safely prepare for the unknown and metabolize what arose after the journey.

This meaningful and life-changing work draws on mindfulness and Buddhist practices, predictive processing theory, Internal Family Systems, animist principles, and ritual arts helping transform altered states into lasting change and lived embodiment.

Please note: I do not provide or source any substances. I work with clients who independently choose to engage with plant medicine.
