Find freedom with food, reconnection with your body and fulfilling soul nourishment.
Trust your body and the medicine within.
Beginning in 2025. Open to eight participants.
The wise medicine within is speaking to you every day through your body.
The secret to aligning with this inner voice of clarity is not just through thinking but through feeling from within the body.
Learn safe microdosing practices alongside somatic-based tools to support your journey of embodied transformation.
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I change." — Carl Rogers
feeling the call to Meaningfully reconnect with your body?
In a culture of dieting where sticky societal standards of performance, perfection, and outer appearance are overvalued, trusting the body as the compass and guide for your life is a revolutionary and courageous act.
When the outside world glorifies external looks, achievements and rationality, celebrating your authentic expression, inner beauty and the wise medicine you carry is the medicine collectively needed for these times.
Supported by the innate intelligence of psychedelics and plant medicines, you can bravely practice listening to your internal cues and authentic expression rather than following external rules.
This is how you rebuild the bridge of connection from the inside-out, leading to a fulfilling and liberated sense of integrated wholeness.
This Program Is For You If…
You have a personal practice with psychedelics or sacred plant medicines and want to dive deeper with the intention of healing your relationship with food and your body.
You have experienced the power of a psychedelic journey or ceremony and want to keep up the momentum of healing body, heart and mind through microdosing.
You are ready to incorporate embodiment and somatic tools and microdosing practices to support you in refining inner awareness, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience.
You see through the illusion of diet culture and are looking for like-minded community to collectively dream and embody a new reality whereby bodies are treated as temples, altars and forests.
You understand that transformation is a journey, and you are inspired to go the distance, awake and relaxed in your body, in the company of community, and supported by the soul nourishment that psychedelics offer.
This is an embodied journey of expanding into the fullness of your being.
Welcome to Journey To Wholeness
reigniting soul nourishment for embodied transformation
Begins 2025. Open to eight participants.
About The Program
Attachment-based ~ Trauma-informed ~ Somatically-integrative ~ Spiritually-guided
Sustainable healing and recovery arise through integrating a somatic, bottom-up approach along with a spiritual component.
Journey To Wholeness includes a somatic lens by bringing an embodied and somatically-integrative approach to healing, weaving nervous system education and connection, interoceptive awareness, sensory processing and integration, movement, and early childhood development.
The spiritual aspect invites in the larger holding from the universe, the Earth and elements, Eastern philosophy, values, vision, soul service and connection to your authentic self. This healing balm can often come through psychedelics and Nature.
Journey To Wholeness uses a somato-spiritual-psycho-social framework to understand our somatic organization, the subjective experience of self and self in the world, our basic human needs for connection and protection defenses, and our relationship with food and soul-nourishment.
What I’ve learnt through my own healing journey with the support of psychedelics and somatic-based interventions, is that effective and sustainable transformation occurs when it’s held within a framework that is specifically designed to bring the body to the forefront of the conversation.
This is a multidimensional, multi-perspective and creative approach to healing.
It’s this kind of expanded and new understanding of healing and transformation that psychedelics and plant medicines are pointing us towards.
Psychedelics help us bridge the gap between the known and the yet-to-be-known. They are powerful initiators in moments of transition. Psychedelics bestow us with seeds of clarity and hope, expanding our capacity and imagination to navigate times of uncertainty and transformation, with aligned authenticity.
With the support of microdosing, you develop greater courage and compassion to turn your attention inwards, allowing you to reconnect with your innate wisdom and healing potential.
The codes for healing and expansion already reside in your body. Together, we will access this inherent healing potential by aligning body, mind, and heart into a state of graceful congruence.
You Will Learn How To:
Practice and engage in embodied transformation through aligning of body, heart, mind and soul
body trust
Work with the Basic Developmental Movement Patterns (developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen) to somatically shift how you relate to nourishment.
Cultivate nervous system regulation and emotional resiliency through body-based and sensory-integrative practices.
Shift from external diet-culture rules to trusting your wise internal cues through refining interoceptive awareness and inner clarity.
Understand Polyvagal Theory, the window of tolerance, and the interrelationship of the nervous system with digestive function and digesting emotions.
Establish internal flow and coherence to walk in right relationship with all aspects of your life.
Heart Attunement
Stand in your center as you meet your growth edge, old narratives and limiting beliefs with courage, resilience, compassion and equanimity.
Learn and practice how to befriend the body.
Realign with your soul values and what you truly care about.
Expand your capacity to hold space for the discomfort of challenging emotions instead of covering them with old food and body behaviours.
Soak in the potency of an intentional community container that supports your individual expansion and contributes to the awakening of humanity.
Mind Clarity
Cultivate the clarity of what you want and where you want to go for your healing through deepening your embodied awareness.
Learn about the science and education behind the autonomic nervous system and Polyvagal Theory.
A deeper understanding of the power of attention and intention.
Apply the mindsets of curiosity, compassion and flexibility.
Embody a sense of flourishing and fulfilment through reframing narrative and making new meaning of your body’s story.

Community Real-Time Practices
Embedded into Journey To Wholeness are two live real-time, community microdosing practices.
In our group online calls, we will explore safe and intentional microdosing supported by guided movement practices, nervous system tools for regulation, journaling, ritual and intention, breathwork, embodied visionary practices, mindfulness practices and community sharing.
The entire program and all practices included have been sensitively created for a gradual and gentle journey towards connecting with the body.
There is enough time, space and flexibility for you to take this program at the pace that is within your nervous system’s capacity.
Moving from restriction to receiving, from protection to connection, and from bracing to embracing.
This a journey of letting in the fullness of life rather than playing small.
Embracing the fullness of life is an incremental and steady process of gently expanding our somatic organization so that it can hold more of life with a sense of receptivity and trust.
This is what plant medicines and psychedelics teach us how to do.
Embodied transformation is a practice receiving feelings as they come and go, connecting with our hearts as our home, and embracing the inevitable impermanence of life.
We become what we practice – and we are always practicing something.
In Journey To Wholeness we will practice a new embodiment that is grounded in receptivity, connection and embracing.
Interwoven into Journey To Wholeness are the three core pillars of the medicine path: preparation, the experience and integration.
Altered states become altered traits.
Increased embodied awareness leads to wise choices and aligned actions.
Rewiring your nervous system rewrites your story.
Transformation is about practicing a new way of being. It is the cultivation of an aligned and authentic embodiment. We are shaping a new reality for ourselves and through extension, for the collective.

Who is Francesca Rose?
Embodied Eating Disorder Recovery Coach, Mindful Movement Facilitator, and Psychedelic Integration Guide
Navigating over 15 years of my own eating disorder recovery, I weave an embodied perspective to eating disorder recovery, trauma-informed integrative somatic coaching modalities, mindful movement, and my life experience into a compassionate approach to food and body recovery. I work with individuals 1:1 and offer eating disorder recovery support groups.
I decided to create Journey To Wholeness after witnessing transformative shifts with my clients when the body was given a chance to be heard. This very naturally allowed the body to be transform into a wise resource and ally for the healing process.
This program takes some of the somatic processes I have shared with clients and what I have learnt from my teachers, who include Rachel Lewis-Marlow and Paula Scataonli, Laura Dawn, Irene Lyon, and the medicines.
I support individuals in creating a relationship to food, their bodies, and towards life that is embedded in embodied self-acceptance and trust. The space I offer is trauma-informed, HAES-sensitive, and uses anti-diet language.
I look forward to dancing with you in this ceremony of life, bringing together our unique rhythms, flavour, and wisdom.

let us lift each other up
As we leave behind old paradigms of competition and comparison, we are being called to enter a new era that is grounded in compassion and connection. Journey To Wholeness is community support where we come together to listen, weaving threads of safety, acceptance and understanding. Hearing each other’s stories and witnessing one another is how we heal and grow. We cannot do this alone. Let us see who is here with us and celebrate.
Are you ready to take the next steps?
If you feel curious about how to establish a trusting bond with your body, an easier relationship with food, and a deeper sense of embodiment, I invite you into this ceremony alongside me.
