She focuses on self-care and also employs nutritional counseling, essential oils, and Chinese herbal medicine.

Francesca has been working in the complementary alternative medicine field since 2000. She started as a financial manager at New York Columbia Presbyterian Department of Complementary Medicine, then discovered her passion for nutrition and Chinese medicine.
