Ciao, I’m Francesca!

After 22 years of enjoyable office life and the last 16 in the legal and corporate secretarial sector, in 2017 I took a big leap of faith and qualified as a life coach and swapped my successful career for exploring freedom: learn more about it and how to achieve more of it!

Outcome? I discovered the secrets to living happier and more abundant lives, and I want to share these with you through my coaching, writing and speaking.

As a passionate people-person, addicted to gratitude and positivity, I naturally look for ways of creating happiness within and around me, and spreading positive vibes.

I also love an adventure, and I am currently solo-travelling Europe in a campervan. For more on my journey, see my Timeline below.
