Francesca’s bodywork is sensitive, intuitive, and respectful. She has been very helpful in identifying and relieving energy and emotional blockages, which manifest in physical disturbances. I find her approach to be more helpful that the other massage and bodywork I have experienced over the last eleven years. I highly recommend Francesca. Priscilla

CranioSacral treatments with Francesca have helped alleviate the chronic neck and back pain that had been troubling me for years and has helped me to cope with my anxiety. Through regular Shiatsu and CranioSacral treatments, I have been able to let go of stress and I feel more relaxed, energized, positive and grounded. Francesca really takes the time to understand my issues and provides custom treatment, as well as practical advice. S.M.

Francesca immediately assessed my tightness and associated it to the right places in my body without me telling her of all my aches. I trust her treatments and I can discuss anything that bothers me, especially psychologically, since she says everything is connected. I know it’s her great skills that give me relief but since it is transferred through her hands I call them “Healing Hands” (just short of Mother Theresa). It is really too bad that our health care system doesn’t recognize Shiatsu as valid medical treatments but since I have such great success having these treatments, I rather pay for them out of my own pocket and feel great afterwards. For me a treatment session is absolute relaxation. Ody Meyer

It’s true that Francesca intuitively knows which muscles need attention. She has a talent for assessing aches and pains and finding spots that you don’t even realize need work. Her calm energy and healing hands have helped the pain in my lower back, shoulders and neck, and I’m grateful for her monthly visits to our office. I look forward to every treatment because they feel so good, and they leave me feeling physically and mentally refreshed. Mari K.

I have experienced short and hour long sessions of therapy with Francesca. In each session I have experienced an immediate sense of relaxation and peacefulness, which continued to deepen during the massage. Whatever condition I came with – tension in neck and shoulders, lower back pain – I left refreshed, feeling lighter, younger and reenergized. Richard

I have suffered from asthma and allergies my entire life. Later in life I discovered that acupuncture would reduce my suffering by 70 percent. The last 2 years with your treatments have been a miracle. I am 48 years old and never imagined I could live life without suffering. Your time invested in me has reduced my suffering by 95 percent without acupuncture! Seriously I spent the first 46 years believing that I will suffer my entire life and now the rules have changed. 2 years of bliss, I want more. Thank you for loving what you do. I am blessed by your time!  Michael Corrado

Seven years ago I was involved in a couple of car accidents. As a result, I suffered from neck, shoulder and back pain. I visited a chiropractor, physiotherapist and an acupuncturist. I became depressed and tired and I was experiencing digestive problems, and could no longer exercise. Since seeing Francesca and receiving Shiatsu I have learned to listen to my body and mind. My overall health has improved, the pain is not as severe; I have more energy. I digest and sleep better.  S.Beddoes

Francesca is a compassionate, knowledgeable and gifted healer. I initially saw her for neck, shoulder and TMJ related pain and then realized her work goes much deeper than that. I leave sessions with her not just feeling the alleviation of physical pain, but also having received deep energetic healing. The combination of shiatsu and cranial sacral techniques allows her to work with your physical and energetic body in such a way that brings peace, relaxation, relief and healing. I feel safe in her presence and appreciate the integrative, intuitive talents she brings to her work. Jenn McRae

I have experienced subtle shifts in both my physical health and my emotional evolution as a result of treatments with Francesca. Not only does she have a magical way with touch, she opens up pathways that promote healing, learning and self-awareness. She is warm and accepting, gracious and grounding. The time I spend with her is spent in a place that always feels safe and loving. Candace M.
