About Me

Hi, I’m Francesca — a London-based UKIHCA Registered Health and Wellbeing Coach for adults living with chronic or invisible health conditions.

I also live with chronic and invisible health conditions myself, and have had to re-learn how to build a sustainable way of living as fully as possible alongside limited and fluctuating energy and symptoms.

If you’re doing your best to keep up with work, relationships, family commitments and the things that matter most to you, while navigating fatigue, fluctuating energy and unpredictable symptoms, you’re likely familiar with the cycle of pushing through and paying for it later.

Together, we’ll build sustainable habits around areas including nutrition, sleep, movement, stress and daily routines, so you can feel more in control, confident, and fulfilled, alongside your condition, not despite it.

What Clients Say

“

“I decided to seek health coaching to help reinstate specific healthy behaviours that I’d lost following an extensive and extremely difficult period living with Long Covid. Although already proactive with my health, there were several areas that I continued to struggle with.

Francesca was able to offer helpful insights and challenge unhealthy beliefs, which allowed me to see and realise things I otherwise wouldn’t have. Setting useful goals, tackling obstacles and exploring and creating new opportunities alongside such an excellent support like Francesca not only held me accountable, but provided the catalyst I needed for positive and sustainable behaviour change that I wouldn’t necessarily have achieved on my own, and certainly not as quickly.

Health coaching has been a key pillar in my recovery strategy and has proven invaluable in my quest to fully restore my health to pre-Covid status. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is open minded in their approach to improving their mental and physical wellbeing“.

– Kim

“

“Francesca has a calmness about her that she passes on to you. There is nothing negative, just pure listening and support in the areas you need to explore.

Through our coaching programme together, I’ve learned to take time for myself and really understand what’s important to me. I now have a healthier approach to my diet, an exercise routine I can stick to, and the confidence to plan a healthy day that works for me. Her explanations are always clear and her support is genuinely caring.” 

– Tracy

“

“Working with Francesca completely changed my perspective. Rather than focusing on restrictive diets or unrealistic expectations, she helped me understand how food impacts my body, including how different choices affect my blood sugar, energy levels, and overall wellbeing. 

What I appreciated most was that Francesca looked at my health holistically. She took the time to really get to know me, understand my challenges, preferences, and goals, and tailored her guidance accordingly. Every recommendation felt achievable and relevant rather than generic. 

I genuinely looked forward to our weekly meetings. Francesca has a warm, encouraging, and non-judgmental approach that made it easy to be honest about my struggles while feeling motivated to keep progressing. She created an environment where I felt supported rather than criticised, which made a huge difference to my confidence and consistency.

I would highly recommend Francesca to anyone looking to improve their health and relationship with food. She combines deep knowledge with genuine care and an ability to make healthy living feel achievable and sustainable. The changes I have made feel realistic and long-lasting, and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and support throughout the programme”.

– Maria

“

“I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Francesca. She has really helped me recognise the areas of my life that I needed more support with to remain healthy. I initially wanted to work with her as I am nearly 35 and I am noticing that my body is not as capable as it used to be. I want to ensure longevity with my health and this has been an excellent opportunity to help me with that.

Francesca is supportive and understanding and does not expect you to change your entire life in a day. I think this has been one of the best parts of working with her as I have recognised that habits run deep and she has helped me start the progress to improve my habits. She has such great knowledge and tools to help me. I would 100% recommend working with Francesca if you are looking to improve your health for the long term”.

– Holly

“

“Francesca helped me feel more in tune with my appetite and gave me great advice to get cravings under control, which in turn led to me having more consistent energy, and fewer hunger spikes, during the day. She also helped me see that it was important to work with what I enjoy, whether in terms of food or exercise, so as to make changes that were sustainable and impactful in the long term.

Francesca is very calm and measured in her approach, never pushing her ideas on you, but rather encouraging you to find your own. I found it refreshing to have ‘permission’ to think about my health in the middle of a busy working day, and would recommend working with Francesca to others without hesitation.”

– Vicki

“

“I was at a point where, having had a new hip, I had been preoccupied with recovery. I felt I needed some help with getting back to more active exercise, and to shake me out of my rut and back to more activity mentally and physically. Francesca was extremely good at getting me to look at various areas with empathy and encouragement, and I feel I have made good progress in getting back to health, enthusiasm and zest for life with her help”.

– Sue

“

“The programme has helped me to stay more motivated and focused on which habits I want to change or which goals to achieve. I have noticed that by discussing a goal with Francesca it made it much easier for me to actually stick to the plan and it kept me motivated. Francesca has been a great listener and been patient enough to let me come up with the ideas of how to achieve a set goal, sometimes gently pointing me in the right direction.

I would certainly recommend Francesca for anybody who would like to change certain habits or improve their wellness and health. She has really helped me to stay motivated and focused on my goals. My energy levels have improved, I feel better in myself and I am proud of what I have achieved in 4 weeks.”

– Melitta
