Additional information

Hi, I am Francesco, a passionate and dedicated Singing voice facilitator, Shiatsu Massage Practitioner, Movement Instructor,  Ceremonial space holder and a Carrier of the Sacred Fire.

Having spent many years across Central/South America, Asia & Australia, my training and work is deeply inspired by traditional and tribal healing traditions, songs, energy healing methods and ancient Shamanic Ceremonies and practices. I aim to bring together the latest quantum physic understanding of energy, multi-dimensionality and matter, with the latest research into the benefit and power of Touch therapy, Expressive Movement and Sound Vibration.

My offerings are based around 3 main areas:

1) HEALING SOUND & MUSIC

Music is a life passion and gift. I am a multi-instrumentalist therapist working with the voice, harmonic vibrations & subtle energies. I offers Sound Healing sessions & community/group harmonic singing workshops as well as meditative Sound Journey Ceremonies. Having been deeply inspired by the work of artists like Deva Premal, Jai Uttal & Krishna Das, I hold Kirtans (i.e. group mantra & sacred songs chanting events) together with my partner Katie, as part of “The Inner Cheile” ceremonial musical duo. I compose my own Medicine music which I have shared and performed in a wide variety of ceremonial settings. I combine my passion for resonant sounds in my bodywork treatments when possible & appropriate.

2) HEALING HANDS

With many years training in the Traditional Healing Arts of Shiatsu bodywork and Thai Massage, I support my clients in healing their body, soothing pain and aches, as well as releasing traumas through a deeply compassionate and present healing touch.

3) HEALING MOVEMENT

I love dance as medicine, and as a qualified Shibashi Qi Gong Instructor at the Sao Bao Martial Art School in Glasgow, I teach Qi-Gong and Free-Movement Therapy/Dance classes to promote health and energy flow in the body. I hold a Diploma in Physical Theatre and I developed my own form of Free Flow Nature Bathing Qi Gong movement practice. I have run regular classes in and around Edinburgh since 2018

All my work aims to enable my clients to stand in their full authenticity and to tap into their body’s innate healing wisdom.

As a Holistic Therapist, I enjoy being able to bridge the gap between western medicine and the “alternatives,” while providing a safe and nurturing environment in which to explore any “lack of ease”  (literal meaning of “dis-ease”) of the body, mind and spirit.

I work at the Salisbury Centre in Edinburgh and I have founded a Nature Inspired Holistic Health & Education Hub in Roslyn, a project to support restful & restorative healing, community building & to nurture the well-being of  ourselves, community & nature.
