She not only has exceptional knowledge and understanding of her subject, she is professional, compassionate, and extremely intuitive and will take time to explore the issues in depth and to find the right remedies.

Francesca's history

My studies began in 1982 at the Churchill Centre. I did not begin with the thought of a career change, but because I thought it would be an interesting thing to do. I studied Massage, Physiology & Anatomy with Prof Arnold-Taylor and Aromatherapy with Shirley Price. To my delight I passed my exams in 1984.

At the time I was working with a Natural Health Company, which was expanding fast and relocating outside London; I decided it was time to put my newfound skills to work. I found a small multi-disciplinary clinic in Hampstead and The Aromatherapy Centre in Hendon, run by Franzesca Watson, Director of Natural by Nature. From 1984 to 1989 I continued my studies and received Certificates & Diplomas in Sports Injury & Therapy and Teaching Diploma from ITEC.

By the late eighties, with additional skills I joined another small multi-disciplinary center; Muswell Healing Arts. I was also approached to teach Anatomy & Physiology & Massage to students at Ealing Adult Education College, and New Malden College and Oaklands College, St Albans, Hertfordshire.

In the mid nineties I felt I needed to rekindle my passion for Complementary Health and returned to education at the University of Westminster to study a Master of Arts in Therapeutic Bodywork, I spent a wonderful 2 years immersed in a world of exploration of physical discipline in all its forms both Eastern & Western and emerged with a Masters Degree in 1997.

In 1998 I joined Barnet Community Health Council, in addition to running my Muswell Hill practice. I trained and worked for 6 years in the NHS, providing Healthcare information to the public and acting as an Advocate for patients with NHS healthcare issues. In 2001, whilst still in the NHS I achieved a Certificate of Advocacy with Essex University.

In 2007 I gained a further qualification, a Certificate in Training Practice, studied at Girton College, University of Cambridge.

I believe learning is for life so when a client, I had treated before, walked into my therapy room I noticed a significant change in her energy.  I asked what she had been doing.  She was studying Angelic Reiki.  Fascinated I enrolled myself on a course in 2007 and completed all modules 1,2,3, & 4 plus Professional Practitioner and Master Teacher Certification in 2012.

In 2013 – I commenced a professional course of Training in Homeopathy with The College of Practical Homeopathy in London  In 2017 – I qualified as a Homeopath and now have a private practice in Hertfordshire and Co Manage the London based College of Practical Homeopathy Student Clinic.

I have been treated by Francesca for quite a number of years, initially for perimenopause and menopause symptoms, such as hot flushes and disturbed sleep.
