Testimonials

The Shamanek Winter workshop is such a beautiful and honest workshop that provided me with so many tools and resources to continue my healing journey on my own.  Every workshop, I left feeling lighter, empowered, calm and grounded. I would love to do this again and make it a yearly or quarterly habit as an energy reset. I’m so grateful and recommend this workshop to anyone curious about getting more in tune with their body and mind.

my first retreat with Francesca to Nosara set the bar high for future endeavors! I am so grateful for the opportunity to immerse myself in yoga, meditation, local culture and cuisine, as well as meet so many beautiful people. fran perfectly scheduled out our days, striking the right balance between structure and flow, feeling energized and restored. Her endlessly warm and inclusive energy, knowledge of the land, and ability to connect with the local residents made me feel warm and supported. forever grateful for this once-in-lifetime experience!

Francesca, opened a space where I could learn to trust her direction, to trust myself, and my own direction, where I could start to see the many things that live inside of me - and of each of us. Simply, an incredibly humbling and kind entry into self exploration.

Thank you thank you thank you for Shamanek, it is such a beautiful, powerful course, and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from you. Your grounding meditation, centering yourself between the core of the earth and the celestial bodies above, is still one I return to every day.

Client

Francesca infuses her own energy, heart, and experiences fully into her courses. It is so apparent how much she cares for her students. She truly supports her students and is not just a guide, but a friend and inspiration in each interaction. Shamanek was like a 101 to all things witchy. This would be perfect for those looking to go deeper into healing, but also for those who don't know much, but are interested in learning more about self-healing, energy healing, and shamanism.

Reiki Healer

I can’t recommend this course enough! I loved learning about new ways of dealing with trauma, anxiety, or even daily stressors. I have taken away so many tools that I learned in this course that I continue to use on a daily basis. Francesca is a knowledge guide in these modalities and created a comfortable environment for everyone to feel open to share and practice. If you are going through a tough time, on a healing journey or just curious of learning about new ways of healing yourself then this course is for you
