About Francoise


About

My name is Françoise—certified clinical aromatherapist, herbalist, Reiki practitioner, and the founder of Woodside Botanica. I’m also the creator of two luxury wellness brands: Amayori and The Way Apothecary.

My work bridges evidence-based aromatherapy, plant medicine, and intuitive energetic healing to support physical and emotional well-being. I hold certifications in clinical aromatherapy through the School for Aromatic Studies and have completed in-depth herbal training in both Western clinical practice and energetic traditions. My studies also include nervous system regulation, women’s health during midlife, skin health, and subtle body work, with a focus on the connection between mind and body.

At Woodside Botanica, I offer one-on-one consultations, custom formulations, and holistic lifestyle guidance designed to reduce stress, build resilience, and support a more grounded, intentional life. This work is meant to complement other healing practices such as therapy or coaching.

With over a decade of experience in holistic wellness, I bring a deep respect for nature, science, and the body’s innate intelligence—and a commitment to helping clients find clarity, vitality, and inner steadiness through refined, natural support.
