ELEMENTAL

A pathway for healing your relationship with nourishment and the body through somatic practice, ritual, and community.

EMBODIMENT

These four group offerings are inspired by the elements:

Earth, Water, Fire, and Air.


Each represents a different way of coming home to yourself:

Grounding, Embodiment, Transformation, and Transcendence.

Together, they form a cyclical arc of healing rooted in the rhythms of the body and the wisdom of nature.

Join one, or journey through them all.

TESTIMONIALS

  • “I loved learning more about embodiment and I am so grateful for you, Francesca!

    These insights and opportunities to practice embodiment really softened me to be present and in attunement with my body.

    I felt safe to do so when I was in the safe holding of our little online community. It was such a gift, as sometimes I feel overwhelming fear to do so on my own. The PowerPoints are something I will revisit and continue to learn from and ponder the questions that were presented.”


    - Juliana

  • '“Connecting with Francesca hasn't only been a deep dive into the healing of my eating disorder but also of the human experience, an exchange, and a learning from and with each other.

    The approach was personal and emotional, that was a safe space to explore, express and create. We didn't only work with the mind but also with the body and the soul which gave me a better understanding and acknowledgment of how both can be powerful resource. 

    Francesca has emotional, intellectual and spiritual knowledge that she uses wonderfully to understand and heal.”

    - Loona

  • “I've been working with Francesca over the past year and find her groups to be light-filled, grounding and safe containers to help me as I navigate my own complicated path of living with an eating disorder and exploring recovery.

    I am grateful for the somatic practices she works into each group and for the opportunity to learn from her and others in an open, supported environment.”

    - Damaris

  • “I have struggled with a complex eating disorder for years, maybe decades. I have tried so many of the traditional treatments, therapies and consumed all of the information any human can on the topic. I remained stuck and suffering.

    I have worked with Francesca for a while now and have seen the most progress I’ve ever been able to gain.

    I am learning to come back into my body or more accurately meet it for the first time. Francesca holds an amazing skill for sharing energy, imparting knowledge, being trauma sensitive and guiding. We use so many skills and tools in our work together which opens up the possibilities for resourcing outside the sessions. I can never thank you enough Francesca.

    I have so much more to do but after 40+ years of struggling, I can finally see movement.”

    - Kara

EARTH • A Place to Land

Monthly Drop-In Support Circle | Free | 90 minutes

“We will always be our bodies, but the way we experience our bodies can evolve.
 And that evolution can be deeply good.” — Hillary L. McBride

A live, small-group space for adults navigating eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, body image challenges, or food anxiety.
We begin with a grounding somatic practice, explore a monthly theme together, and close with integration. No performance, no pressure, just your presence is needed. You’ll leave with a felt sense of belonging, clarity, and connection—a reminder of your worthiness.

In each 90-minute session:

  1. Arrival embodiment practice

  2. Introduction to the group discussion theme


  3. Group sharing 


  4. Closing practice

Sessions may include gentle movement, breathwork, journaling, or simple art processes.


Themes we might cover in our group discussions: emotional resilience, body image, intuition and sensitivity as a superpower, navigating change and stress management, people-pleasing, intimacy, boundaries, shame to self-worth, working with grief, anger and fear, metabolizing love, crafting values and vision, and more.

Logistics

  • When: 2nd last Tuesday of every month

  • Where: Online via Zoom

    • Group support offers unique benefits that 1:1 coaching or therapy can’t always provide. In a group, you’ll feel less isolated and gain multiple perspectives, ideas, and reflections from others on similar paths. Many participants also find accountability and deep belonging in a group setting. If you’re unsure, you can schedule a free 30-minute call to discuss your needs.

    • Yes. Research shows that support groups can be a powerful part of recovery. They help reduce isolation, normalize your experiences, and offer connection with others who truly understand.

    • Feeling nervous is completely normal. Many participants share that they felt anxious at first but quickly discovered how supportive the group is. You’re never pressured to share; listening is always a valuable way to participate.

    • No, sessions are never recorded. Everything shared in the group is confidential, and we uphold clear group agreements to ensure everyone’s privacy. These agreements are shared at the beginning of calls.

    • If you’re currently in inpatient or intensive outpatient treatment, this group may not provide the level of support you need. These circles are best suited for those who are medically stable enough to participate.

FIRE — Thresholds

8-Week For Women Who Are Changing | 2026 Dates TBC | 90 Minutes Weekly

When our culture forgets how to initiate us into womanhood, the body becomes a distorted place where that initiation tries to happen.

This 8-week ceremonial program reframes disembodiment as an interrupted initiation—an unconscious attempt to transform in the absence of guidance.

Through embodied ritual, movement, mythic storytelling, transition theory, and collective witnessing, we create the container that was missing then. It is time to honour your becoming.

You will:

  • Release identities rooted in control, shame, or smallness

  • Reclaim your body as sacred, expressive, and wise

  • Ritually mark your passage into embodied wholeness

Weekly themes:

  1. The Call to Embody

  2. Crossing the Threshold

  3. The Descent

  4. The Body as Oracle

  5. The Ancestral Thread

  6. Reweaving the Feminine

  7. Becoming the Bridge

  8. Integration & Return


For women ready to:

Bridge the gap between insight and embodiment.
You’ve done the inner work (cue therapy, personal growth, spiritual exploration, all the things) yet still feel divided between who you are and how you inhabit your body.


Now you’re ready to live what you’ve learned. To let what you know in your mind be felt through your cells, breath, and bones.
This journey is for women who sense the lingering traces of judgment and perfectionism still shaping their choices, yet who’ve outgrown old identities of control and compliance, and who long to feel authentic, alive, and fully at home in their bodies.


If you’re at the doorway of change, let’s walk through the threshold together.

Logistics

  • When: Offered once yearly (dates announced here)

  • Where: Online via Zoom

  • Capacity: 10–12 (participants + 20–30 min intake call)

  • Includes: 8 live sessions, integration prompts, and support between sessions
