Francesca Barone

Growing up in the Midwest (USA), Francesca witnessed an epidemic of suffering and illness in her family and community, sparking a desire from a young age to be of service. Leaving home early, she embarked on a journey of global exploration, gaining deep knowledge in mind-body medicine and spiritual teachings.

Her passion lies in guiding others toward vitality and wholeness by addressing the root causes of their pain. Francesca is committed to helping her clients rediscover empowerment through self-healing, compassion-based therapy, and connection to Spirit.

Since beginning her work with shamanic healing practices and plant medicine, Francesca has supported hundreds of clients in releasing the burdens of trauma and emotional imbalances that have impacted their lives for years. She provides intimate guidance as they move away from symptom-focused Western medical models and into a transformative process of addressing the root causes of illness, often rooted in early childhood experiences.

A trauma-informed practitioner and long-term student of Gabor Maté’s work, Francesca specializes in early developmental trauma, somatic healing, and addiction therapy. She is deeply committed to helping individuals find emotional liberation and embodied aliveness through holistic healing practices.

Having lived through her own journey of addiction and disconnection, Francesca experienced a profound shift during her first encounter with Ayahuasca, served by Shipibo maestros who have since become her lifelong teachers. Her love and reverence for the Shipibo lineage is her life’s devotion, and she holds immense gratitude for the healers she works alongside.

Francesca believes deeply that every being is deserving of emotional freedom and sustainable health. Through her own healing journey, she has embraced the power of compassion and self-acceptance, inspiring others to integrate fragmented parts of themselves with love.

A lifelong student and explorer, Francesca continues to deepen her practice with plant medicine, working to bridge ancient indigenous wisdom with the Western world’s urgent need for collective healing.
