Francesca is a qualified AC accredited international Coach and founder of Gr8fool Ltd, her coaching practice, based on values of gratitude, joy and freedom to mention a few key ones. She was born in Italy, grew up in France and moved to London at 18. After 22 years of happy corporate life, in 2017 Francesca jumped ship, swapping a successful career in the legal and corporate sector to explore freedom and adventure outside of office walls.

Training as a Coach helped her through to this decision and eventually moved to coaching as a career to help others boost their own life experiences too.

Francesca supports personal growth, businesses and executives and young people at schools. The common denominator is her mission to reconnect people to their humanity, with all the benefits and challenges that come with being human. She can also offer work for grief, helping with managing emotions, boosting resilience and confidence to be forward-looking and create a new and better narrative.

As a creative optimist, she believes we all have potential to realise our visions and manifest more fulfilling lives by daring to be vulnerably curious, focusing on what truly matters and releasing unwanted attachments. She navigates clients with an open and intuitive approach, creating a safe and light-hearted space for insights, growth and playfulness, while cheering you on to take consistent steps (big and small) in the right direction.
