ABOUT
I’m Francesca Melluzzi, a somatic coach, yoga teacher, holistic therapist, and lifelong seeker of truth, healing, and heart connection.
For much of my life, I lived on an emotional rollercoaster - soaring highs followed by crashing lows. Only later did I discover that undiagnosed ADHD and dyslexia were at the root of much of my inner turbulence. I was always sensitive, creative, and deeply emotional, but I lacked the tools to regulate and feel safe in my own system. This search for peace became the foundation of my life’s work.
I studied art as a teenager - it was the one place I felt calm and grounded. At just 19, I trained full-time to become a holistic therapist, studying massage, aromatherapy, nutrition, reflexology, and Reiki. Healing came naturally to me. It felt like home. I’ve since supported thousands of people through touch, energy work, and embodied presence.
At 24, I travelled to India to train as a yoga teacher with the Sivananda Vedanta Organisation. This was a deeply spiritual experience that changed the course of my life. I didn’t just learn postures - I discovered yoga as a path of devotion, meditation, and soul evolution. This is also where I first experienced the power of Kirtan - devotional singing that awakened something ancient and true within me.
During that time, I visited Ramana Ashram, where I encountered profound stillness and a deep spiritual silence that lives in me to this day.
Later, I travelled to Maui for the Open Your Heart in Paradise retreat, where I met Ram Dass - a spiritual hero of mine. In his presence, I experienced something I had never felt before: total acceptance. In that moment, I didn’t feel broken or too much or not enough. I felt fully loved and fully whole. That encounter changed me. It taught me that the deepest healing begins with self-acceptance - and that this is the gateway to truly seeing and loving others.
Since then, I’ve continued to deepen my work and expand my training, becoming a Reiki Master, a pregnancy yoga and special needs children’s yoga teacher, a craniosacral therapist, and an Indian head massage practitioner.
In 2019, I trained as a Trauma and Mental Health Practitioner with the Institute for Arts and Therapy in Education in London, which gave me the language and clinical understanding to support others with depth and safety.
I’ve worked in children’s mental health, founded a creative arts group for teenagers, and supported families at respite centres through yoga and somatic tools. I now work as a somatic coach with the Oxford ADHD Centre, supporting both teens and adults, particularly those who are neurodivergent, sensitive, or emotionally overwhelmed.
My Work Today
Today, I coach primarily online, working with clients around the world through 1:1 mentoring and my signature group programs. I also offer in-person talks and workshops in the UK and internationally.
I regularly host live Kirtan gatherings, where we sing in community - an act I believe brings profound healing, heart connection, and remembrance of who we truly are.
At the heart of all my work is community.
I believe that we heal best when we are seen, heard, and met with love.
