Working Togeather
Working one-on-one is for those seeking thoughtful, personalized support. I create space for you to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with a steadier way of living.
Our time together may include holistic guidance, custom aromatherapy or herbal formulation, guided stress relief, subtle energy work, or sound and sensory practices.
I am based in Woodside, California, and offer private sessions both virtually and in person, throughout the San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula, including Woodside, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Menlo Park, and Palo Alto.

About Me
I'm Françoise. I am a certified clinical aromatherapist, trained herbalist, Reiki practitioner, sound healer, and certified Kundalini yoga teacher. My work integrates traditional plant knowledge with the latest research in essential oils, herbalism, and nervous system science. Drawing from over two decades of study and lived experience, I guide individuals and small groups in cultivating a more intentional and embodied way of living.
Working 1:1
One-to-one work can take the form of a single, focused session or ongoing support. Some come for a reset, a recalibration, or a moment of clarity. Others choose to work together over time, allowing the process to unfold more gradually and with greater depth.
There is no fixed formula. Each experience is shaped by what feels most supportive and aligned, whether that means refining daily practices, developing a custom formulation, exploring ritual and sensory work, or simply creating space for thoughtful conversation.
Areas of Focus
My private work centers around the following areas:
- Holistic Lifestyle Guidance: Cultivating alignment of mind, body, and spirit through daily practice and intentional living.
- Natural Living: Reducing toxic burden while maintaining comfort, beauty, and effectiveness.
- Custom Formulation: Bespoke aromatherapy and herbal blends designed to support mood, resilience, and overall balance.
- Ritual and Immersive Practice: Curated experiences that integrate multiple modalities, both virtually and in person.
- Subtle Energy Work: Reiki-informed healing to support nervous system regulation, reduce stress, and invite deep rest.
~ Sound Healing: Immersive sound experiences using singing bowls, drumming, native flute, and other instruments to support relaxation, reflection, and renewal.
- Nervous System Support: Practices and aromatic formulations designed to calm the stress response, ease anxiety, and restore steadiness.
- Trauma-Informed Support: Gentle sensory and ritual practices that can complement therapeutic work, offering grounding and emotional support during periods of healing.
- Life Phases: Support through life's meaningful transitions, including birthdays, anniversaries, phases of womanhood, career changes, grief, new beginnings, and other moments that invite reflection, healing, and intention.
- Sensory Recalibration: Sound, breath, and immersive practices that quiet stress and restore steadiness.
- Vitality and Skin Health: Supporting the body in a way that maintains energy, clarity, and a natural sense of radiance. This includes nutrition, targeted supplementation, nervous system support, and holistic skincare.
Core Modalities
Every session is thoughtfully personalized, drawing from a range of approaches to support your individual needs and intentions. Below are some of the primary ways we can work together.
Holistic Guidance
These one-to-one sessions are centered on conversation, reflection, and understanding what is unfolding in your life through a mind, body, and spirit perspective. Together, we explore what feels unclear, stuck, or in transition, notice how it may be showing up emotionally and physically, and begin to identify a path forward. Depending on what emerges, the session may also draw on simple practices such as breathwork, aromatherapy, meditation, somatic awareness, journaling, or ritual.
Aromatic Medicine Healings
Each session begins with a conversation and an intention we clarify together. From there, I create a personalized experience that may weave together custom aromatherapy, breathwork, sound healing, subtle energy work, and other supportive practices, always guided by your individual needs.
Whether you are seeking deep rest, greater clarity, emotional support, or a meaningful reset, every session unfolds with care and intention, creating space for reflection, renewal, and lasting change.

Custom Herbal & Aromatherapy Formulation
When appropriate, I develop bespoke herbal and aromatic blends tailored specifically to you. These formulations are informed by our conversations, your goals, and how your body responds over time.
Blends may support mood, rest, focus, or overall steadiness, and can evolve as your needs shift. This is not a pre-made product approach, but a collaborative process rooted in both tradition and lived experience.

Sound Healing
(In-person only)
Offered privately and for small groups, sound healings may incorporate the frame drum, flute, singing bowls, breath, and guided stillness to support nervous system regulation, clarity, and restoration.
The work is intentional and attuned, using sound as a structured medium for settling the body and quieting the mind. Sessions may be deeply restorative, gently activating, or reflective, depending on your intention and needs.

Subtle Energy Work
Reiki-informed energy work is gently incorporated into sessions to support relaxation, nervous system regulation, and overall balance. This hands-on approach is subtle, grounding, and integrated with the broader sensory experience. This offering is avaialbel both in-person and virtually.

Aromatic Meditation & Breathwork
Private Aromatic Meditation & Breathwork offers one-to-one guidance for those who want to begin or deepen a contemplative practice. Each session brings together gentle breathwork supported by aromatherapy, guided meditation, and subtle sound. A personalized aromatic inhaler is created for continued use at home, and the session closes with time for integration over a custom-blended herbal tea.
