It's official... I'm in my mid-thirties 🤯

Hello Reader!

​

I'm officially 35 today! It seems like just yesterday I was turning 26! Where has the time gone???

​

Regardless, I am thankful for the road that led me here and I am embracing what the future holds.

​

Just FYI, this isn’t going to be my typical wellness email. No health tips or low-tox product suggestions today. Just me, writing to you from the heart on my birthday…

​

I woke up in a reflective mood this morning...

​
If you had told the college me what my life would look like now… she probably wouldn’t have believed you. In fact, she probably would have laughed. I say this because when I was in college I graduated with a biochemistry degree with the goal to become a pediatric oncologist. I wanted to give hope to families stuck in seemingly hopeless situations. This was until I realized I would also have to tell children and their parents not-so-wonderful news... My empathetic heart would not have been able to handle that on a daily basis.

​
After I graduated college, I learned more about health and wellness, and I was pointed to the path of more natural ways to achieve health. It was during this time I realized my purpose was to help people prevent cancer and other illnesses by teaching my patients ways to make their bodies more resilient.
​

The path to get here has been winding — from the push to prove to the people closest to me that naturopathic medicine was what I needed to pursue, to the intensity of medical school, to the times filled with doubt, to the early mornings and late nights of building a practice from scratch.

​

There were moments I felt burnt out and tempted to raise my arms in surrender, unsure if I had it in me. I thought daily "Did I have what it takes to support people with their health? Why would anyone seek my advice?"

​

But I kept going — and I’m so glad and grateful I did.

Now, after years of hard work, I wake up each morning genuinely excited to help people improve their quality of life.
​

Supporting my patients, especially women navigating hormones and fertility, gut health, skin issues, and so much more, is more than a job — it’s my purpose

​

These past few years have surprised me in the best ways possible. I’ve cried with you, celebrated your healing wins, and walked alongside you through your hardest seasons. I don’t take that privilege lightly.

​

And outside of clinic this past year, my most wonderful milestone was becoming a wife. The biggest gift of all has been my husband — the most supportive partner I could ask for. He grounds me, cheers me on, and supplies me with endless lattes and smooches. He’s my soft place to land, and I thank the God every day for how our lives fit together.

​

At 35, I feel like I’ve truly grown into the woman I dreamed I’d be — imperfect and always learning, but aligned to my purpose.

​

If there’s one lesson I’d pass on from this season of life, it’s this:
​You don’t have to have it all figured out to build something beautiful.

​

Whether you’ve been following my journey for years or just joined my email list last week — thank you for being a part of my world. You make my work more fulfilling than I ever imagined.

​

Here’s to growing older with intention, passion, and more confidence each year. 💖

​

With love,
Dr. Francesca
