Francesca’s journey in movement and body awareness began in Italy, where she was born and raised. Her passion for ballet took root at a very young age, leading her to devote nearly 25 years to mastering the art. This dedication continued as she left Italy in 2001, spending over a decade in Madrid and London. During this time, she trained intensively in ballet, refining her technique and deepening her understanding of the human body’s potential.

While pursuing a successful career in the luxury hospitality and recruiting industries in these vibrant cities, Francesca never lost sight of her love for movement. In 2013, she expanded her repertoire by embracing Pilates and yoga, recognizing the incredible benefits these disciplines offered for strength, control, and fluidity of movement.

In 2018, Francesca moved to Chicago to start a family with her American husband. Fueled by her lifelong passion for body awareness, she decided to take the next step and became a fully trained Pilates instructor. Francesca believes that Pilates is one of the most effective methods for achieving not only physical strength and control but also a deeper connection to one’s body.
