Testimonials
“Francesca has been a life saver. Not only is she someone I can talk to, get advice from and be encouraged by, but she has provided me with so many strategies for coping with anything from my organisation to my mental health. She has given me so much more confidence and is someone who supports me and by whom I never feel judged.”
- Finn (ADHD coaching client)
“My 15-year-old daughter was introduced to Francesca when she was suffering from extreme anxiety in relation to attending school and in particular, difficulty with social situations. She has autistic traits and so struggles to read body language and at times doesn't show empathy. Through my daughter attending the Teen Wellbeing classes and also having a few 1-2-1 coaching sessions with Francesca this has helped ease her anxiety and build up a trust with Francesca so that she can open up and talk about some of her worries.
The way in which Francesca engages with her and focuses her mind is incredible and I even experienced how great she was when I attended a Mother and Daughter class at the end of last year - Francesca's classes are thoughtful and fun at the same time! I would thoroughly recommend Francesca to work with any teenager to help them navigate the world outside and the challenging teenage years. I feel that Francesca's knowledge and help has been invaluable to us.”
Miriam Prosser (mother of teenager)
I cannot recommend Francesca highly enough! Working with her has truly been life-changing. Francesca helped me identify and break free from the negative thought patterns that had been holding me back, giving me the tools to understand and manage my ADHD in a way I never thought possible. Her empathetic and non-judgmental approach made me feel supported from day one, and I felt understood in a way I hadn't experienced before.
Francesca also provided invaluable guidance as I navigated the challenges of parenting my son, who also has ADHD. Her thoughtful insights helped me rethink my approach and find a healthier balance between giving him space to grow and supporting him in ways that truly make a difference. I am now better equipped with practical strategies to reconnect with him and offer the right kind of support at the right time. Thanks to Francesca's coaching, I feel more confident and empowered in both my personal journey and my role as a parent. She has made such a positive impact on our lives, and I am deeply grateful!
Wishing you all the best with your next challenge

"We cannot recommend Francesca enough.
From their very first session, our daughter felt at immediate ease, and connected well with Francesca's warm and understanding approach. What sets Francesca apart from other AuDHD modalities we have tried is that she dives deeper to help support root needs in the body rather than solely focusing on external coping skills. She leads her clients on how to not only feel comfortable and secure when different emotions or feelings of overwhelm arise, but also how to supportively diffuse them preemptively before reaching stronger levels of dysregulation.
For our family, the results speak for themselves. Francesca's work with our daughter has created ripple effects that noticeably support her nervous system and sensory needs, and the improvements in our daughter’s well-being have been remarkable.
Our daughter leaves every appointment grinning and feeling refreshed, and thoroughly enjoys the collaborative nature of their sessions — not just receiving the guidance, but working to learn the techniques so she can implement them independently with ease.
As parents, we're watching her bloom back into feeling like herself again; her interest in her favourite hobbies has returned, as well as her focus at school and in pursuing her goals; she’s feeling more social, confident, and joy-seeking, and her overall capacity has expanded by leaps and bounds.
Our daughter used to complain that her senses felt like they were "on fire" and was completely snowed under with symptoms of burnout; this underscored our goal to find support that could help her feel well in her own ways, however she needs. Without question, her work with Francesca has been integral in that happening.
While everyone's health journey is unique, we think there is SO much to be said for the power of nervous system regulation. With that, we cannot recommend Francesca Melluzzi enough; she has become not only a compassionate member of our daughter's care team, but an incredibly vital one, and the support and skills she imparts to all of her clients are creating deeply meaningful improvements, not only daily, but overall lives. In our experience, this has been nothing short of life-changing opportunity for our daughter to work with her, and we are forever grateful."

"Francesca worked with me for several months, especially to help with autism-related anxiety. She has a very kind and affirmative approach, and was always cheerful and supportive during our sessions. She has greatly helped me gain control over my thoughts and emotions; my mental health and overall well-being has improved dramatically."

'Working with Francesca has been in no uncertain terms a life altering experience for me. She is a coach, mentor and guide superlative. Although she has been a fantastic listener and unbelievably present in all of our discussions, she has also offered so much more than this. She has equiped me with the tools to improve my own life, in so many ways, trom a physcial self care, to my own perspective and interactions within myself and the world around me. I really have learnt so much.
The work has been hard and at times scary to confront but I could not be more appreciative of Francesca for her support in helping me do so. In short I believe she is different from the coaches/ therepists of my past, who interected with the me that was sat before them for that hour, she sees beyond that, to what you can be, and then equips you to take yourself there. I would recommend Francesca without a shred of doubt to anyone who feels stuck wants to grow!'

'Francesca’s Somatic Movement class has greatly reduced my pain levels, and improved my overall sense of well-being. She brings enthusiasm, caring and joy to all her classes as well as a wealth of knowledge and skill. The on-line classes are excellent and face to face sessions even better. Highly recommended.'
Pat Axford
'I have been practicing Somatics with Francesca for over two years. Francesca adds breathwork, Qi Gong and positive mantras to the Somatic movements, all of which help me to focus on my bodily wellbeing. I have learned to listen to my body and can recommend Francesca's sessions wholeheartedly.'
