“Francesca offers a unique combination of finely honed skills and techniques which have a highly beneficial effect on a wide range of health issues.”

EM, Ayrshire

Francesca studied for four years and graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, University of Glamorgan in 2008 with a First Class Honours Degree in Chiropractic and Graduate of the Year Award. Following this, she returned to Scotland, has worked in Glasgow, Kilmarnock and Ayr, and established CoreHealth Chiropractic in Prestwick in 2018.

Since graduating, Francesca has continued to expand her therapeutic skills. She is a diplomate level CranioSacral Therapist (CST-D), Visceral Manipulation Practitioner (CVMP) and has also passed board exams in Applied Kinesiology.

She is also a certified practitioner of the Webster Technique which has been proven to be of benefit during pregnancy. In 2020 she gained Certification by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Paediatrics (CACCP) through the ICPA. In 2019 Francesca also trained as a doula with Nurturing Birth and is glad to be able to add this knowledge to her range of skills. She has a passion for supporting pregnant women, babies and children, having covered over 400 hours of extra study specific to this group. 

In 2011 she became a certified APPI Pilates instructor and routinely holds classes across Ayrshire. She is also a qualified Hypopressives instructor, having trained with UK Hypopressives.

One of her passions out-with the clinic is to help support other students and practitioners in learning new skills. She is the proud facilitator of the Glasgow CST Study Group, is a qualified CST mentor and regularly assists in teaching classes over several specialties. She also teaches introductory classes annually to help others learn more about the work she uses in clinic. 

When not in clinic, Francesca enjoys cycling, finally admitting to being a ‘Peloton addict’ and is a huge fan of musical theatre – watching it, not doing it (thankfully)!

Francesca is registered with the General Chiropractic Council and is a member of the United Chiropractic Association, CranioSacral Society and International Paediatric Chiropractic Association.
