“Healing is a matter of time, but it is also sometimes a matter of opportunity”  Hippocrates.

Dr. Gabrielle Francis is my opportunity and I plan to show up for all that she has to offer, and that is a great deal as I see it.  I searched for healing for over 20 years and instead found myself heavily medicating symptoms.  When I showed up on Dr. Francis’ door she offered me the hope of addressing the symptoms and causes and finding wholeness for the first time in my life.  Her sensitive and caring demeanor is so calming and nurturing that I feel healed from that alone.  But there is so much more.  I find her to be an attentive and caring listener and then she bolts into action using her keen sensitivity, knowledge, intuitive wisdom and incredible ability to bring a sense of well being to me.  And the effect lingers for weeks after I have my visit.  I would recommend Dr. Francis to anyone who is serious about becoming totally well and experiencing the highest form of wholeness: body, mind, emotions and spirit.

"My experiences/interactions with Dr. Francis have been transformative. She is compassionate and embraces the holistic approach. She is a true healer. Dr. Francis is very thorough, and has helped me tremendously with symptoms of menopause. I underwent a battery of testing which has balanced my hormones and has resulted in a very easy/comfortable transition.

Dr. Francis also treated me with acupuncture. I have experienced a broad spectrum of emotions and encounters during these treatments. Anywhere from, extreme moments of relaxation and peace to cathartic experiences, to "visits" from angels and with my deceased Father.

Overall, this relationship has been life-changing and I already miss having her in my life. (I live in the SF Bay Area). I hope to re-connect the next time I can get to NY.
Thank you so much for everything!"

I have never been treated by a more attentive, kind, or knowledgeable doctor. I am a social worker and had been in community based family service for more than twenty years, stabilizing families and keeping their children out of foster care whenever possible. After leaving that work, my income was considerably reduced. At the same time I was diagnosed with colon cancer and although I was fortunate enough to have health insurance, I had a very severe reaction to the combined radiation and chemotherapy treatments. I ended up in the hospital with colitis after having been unable to eat for weeks. A friend of mine knew of Dr. Francis and paid for my first sessions.

Dr. Francis treated me like family from the beginning. She listened without judgement to my history and how it had impacted my diet. She spent time helping me set up meal planning options and put me on a regimen of nutritional smoothies. She focused steadily on my progress and not on my resistance. Then she offered to work with me without charging me for sessions until I was stable. I was overwhelmed. Each week I felt free to talk to her about what I was going through, much of which was quite challenging. I was always met with a hug and a positive, curious, and compassionate face. Her precision and sensitivity healed me on many levels. Although the team of other doctors who got me through cancer treatment were excellent, she was the only one who was working with me as a whole person. Her treatments healed my digestive problems and my recovery time from surgery was remarkable.

I cannot say enough about her. She is wise, wonderful, and a little wild. She understands life and treats her patients as if they are on a sacred journey. We are lucky she took the path of a healer.

A year before I met Dr Gabrielle Francis, I began to work with a practitioner of Functional Medicine, who finally addressed many of my problems, and was very helpful. I was reluctant to try yet again somebody new, in case a new person would sabotage or muddle my existing regimen that finally was helping me. I called to voice my concern.

Dr Gabrielle encouraged me to come in. Thank God I had the wisdom to give it a try.
My other doctor does not provide hands on therapy. (I continue to work with him with great pleasure.) Dr Gabrielle's hands on bodywork is miraculous. Dr Gabrielle is not in this for her ego. She wove her help into my existing supplement program with only my benefit in mind. I ran everything past my other doctor, and everything was approved and lauded. She does not try to take command of your life, and envelop you in her sphere, as other supremely talented healers do, as their huge talent gets subordinated to their huge personal agenda of self aggrandizement.

Dr Francis works on an energetic and spiritual vibe, which guides her to practice her great stores of skill and knowledge to exactly where your body and spirit needs it. She is so rare; unstripped of her connection to Spirit by the commercialized grind around us; to be cherished as the great healer that she is. Since God (and my daughter in law) guided me to begin to work with Dr Francis, my lower backpain is gone, my physical energy is soaring, and my inner inflammation is subsiding. I have found
a healer who has become a soulmate; I am fortunate to work with her.

I recommend her beyond what words can express.

Mary E, San Francisco
"Dr. G is blessed with the willingness and ability to thoroughly explain how both biological and/or spiritual imbalance can lead to ill health as well as a roadmap to improved health.  Her gifts, as healer and healing guide, are further enhanced by her genuine concern and love for her patients. Using all the tools in her large doctor's bag, she helped me regain a life I can actually say is worth living. Among the many things she taught me, of the more important, is that  being an active participant in my process of healing is vital. With good guidence, we are the ones who must be responsible and willing to heal ourselves.  This healing power lies in each of us and can be found with the help of such multifaceted guide. I thank her from the bottom of my heart."

R. M, New York
It wasn’t long after I moved to NYC in 2003 that my body started to feel the affects of the inevitably hectic and stressful lifestyle. What had previously passed as inconvenient physical idiosyncrasies – occasional headaches, hair fall, constipation – took on serious proportions. Unlike the several “Western” doctors that I turned to before Dr. Francis, she not only took my symptoms seriously, but through her holistic and rigorous methodology, was able to diagnose the underlying systemic causes. This fact, coupled with her practical and therefore sustainable course of treatment has changed my life. She did not parse out cookie-cutter, formulaic solutions to my health problems. Instead, she took the time to get to know me inside and out, both through conversations and thorough medical tests, and then customized my treatment – a combination of diet and nutrition, natural supplements, chiropracty and acupuncture – drawing from her extensive knowledge of Natural Medicine. I feel healthier and happier than I have ever before. I know what causes my headaches now, which is no small feat as I know what to avoid. My constipation is under control thanks to the natural supplements. I have more energy and motivation. Most importantly though, I know that I am truly cared for and that Dr. Francis is always there for me, just an email or phone call away.

When I was in crisis over peri-menopausal bleeding, my acupuncturist recommended Gabrielle to me because she was an expert on hormone balancing.  Through tedious and conscientious trial-and-error, Dr. G came up with a hormone program which, along with her "Mayan Massage", allowed me to emerge victoriously out of that menopausal madness.   As if that's not enough, her chiropractic adjustments for an ancient back injury were like magic; to this day, on a daily basis, I try to imitate the way she positioned and stretched my body.  And in doing so, I think of Dr. G every day.  Was it her medical know-how and intuition? Or was it her affectionate, but also very wry humor?  Ask me if my heart broke a little when she moved permanently from San Francisco to New York!

My wife is from New Delhi, India, and moved to San Francisco ten years ago. She has since learned that more than a few areas of health practice and knowledge are absent in western health care. It could be analogous to an American living in a foreign country and discovering that the doctors did not believe blood work was relevant to help diagnose health problems.

Although there are no shortage of practitioners in the Bay Area for eastern medicine, there are too few or no standards to ensure proper qualifications in the U.S. Since my wife discovered Dr. Francis just over a year ago in New York, she has been greatly impressed and had insisted that I see her as well.

Simply put, Dr. Francis has very effectively helped me address some longstanding health issues. Moreover, she has addressed problems that I never knew could be helped such as low energy that I've compensated for via caffeine for decades. She is a great pleasure to meet with, and always takes the time to explain and instruct. The last thing I must say and greatly appreciate is that her recommendations for health and diet changes are very sustainable and not militantly strict. It has helped me succeed in making changes and feeling much better as I manage a fairly busy life in NYC.

Patti Francis, Cleveland
I am Dr. G's 70 year old mother. She has had me on a protocol for health for years. I am a full time masotherapist, care for my home in and out without help and otherwise live a very busy and happy life.

Because of this protocol, I am on no prescription drugs and am in excellent health. I come from a family with some very serious medical tendencies and am so grateful to God for my Daughter's wisdom in keeping me healthy.

Abundant gratitude to my daughter and God for spiritual and physical health.

Kelly N, Connecticut
Prior to seeing Dr. Francis, I felt no real connection to my body. Food was eaten out of convenience rather than nourishment, which ulitmately wreaked havoc on my young body. Dr. Francis addressed my health challenges in an environment of support and healing. She showed me the path to wellness in ways that western medicine could never achieve. I shall remain indebted to her for all my days.

W.C., San Francisco/New York
Dr. francis leads her practice with deep experience and extensive scientific knowledge. she takes a very human-centered approach and is very thoughtful in her insights and support. What makes her so effective is not only her experience but her ability to listen and learn. She is continually challenging herself and learning as much as she can. i am fortunate to have been under her care and guidance for the last 4 years and thank her for her support with two healthy pregnancies.

Jenn H, Seattle
I became a patient of Dr. G's 10 years ago after a sports injury left my lower back in pain. Dr. G was my introduction to Acupuncture and Naturopathic medicine and became my health advocate, educator, and a valuable influence and inspiration to me to this day.

I've spent the last decade under her care and she has not only helped me with my back, but also with fertility and pregnancy issues, nutrition and exercise education, and she brought my focus to wellness so dramatically that I am now studying to be an acupuncturist myself.

Tricia H, San Francisco
I found Gabrielle by a " happy coincidence". For many years I've had abdominal pain. Incapacitating. Western doctors diagnosed either I.B.S. or craziness. I had MRI's, catscans, etc. My file got bigger. I told the doctors that my pain was localized, but they said there was nothing there. Still it persisted. I stopped seeing allopathic doctors .When I met Gabrielle I told her my story. Within minutes she said the magic words, "I know whats wrong with you". The first human to ever say this and offer a treatment plan. She pinpointed my exact pain area, and told me there was deep scar tissue there. Her treatment plan included Mayan massage, digestive soothing and herbs. She taught me self treatment by massage. Gabrielle is a miracle worker and a goddess.    . 

Barbara S, New York
"My life changed the day I first walked into Dr. Gabrielle Francis' office. With every visit, I feel my body, mind and soul getting a tune-up from her healing touch and gentle nature. She has created a nurturing environment that is safe, peaceful and inviting. Just beware - Dr. G's love of travel may rub off on you and you may find yourself unexpectedly exploring the world!"

Rosemarie M, Cleveland
To say that Dr. Francis has improved the quality of my life is an understatement.  I didn't know how good my body could feel until she used acupuncture to relieve my pain.  I never would have pursued this type of treatment without complete faith in her knowledge and ability to treat the whole person.  From massage, chiropractic adjustments, accupuncture and nutritional counseling, my health and well being are in her hands. She has a gift and she is generous and loving in sharing her gift. 

S.T., San Francisco
I was referred to Gabrielle by another very well-respected acupuncturist in SF 5 years ago after having two miscarriages.

I started seeing her for her Mayan uteran massage (to get my tilted uterus back in place) and stayed for her expertise on nutrition, accupuncture and chiropractic. After desperately trying to get pregnant for years with no success, Gabrielle provided a truly holistic and compassionate approach to my health and well-being and my desire to become a mother. She was both encouraging and supportive, yet firm and honest about her prescriptions for how I needed to prepare my body (and mind) for motherhood. I also appreciated that Gabrielle was open to (and in fact encouraged it) working in tandem with other Eastern and Western doctors in order to solve a problem. I am deeply grateful for the care I received from Gabrielle and feel that she was instrumental in helping me to have two healthy pregnancies and give birth to two beautiful baby girls.

Thank you for everything Gabrielle. I truly feel like I won the lottery twice over! Rory is just over 3 and Phoebe is 20 months and they are the lights of my life.

S. L., San Francisco
I was taking drugs for ADD and allergies, experiencing horrible migraines, and having a hard time getting pregnant. With Dr. Francis, I eliminated all the drugs, restarted my immune, gastric, and reproductive systems, and have two healthy little boys. I've been migraine free for years to boot. Moreover, with Dr. Francis I felt I could really talk to her about the full range of my medical issues--comprehensively--and address root problems instead of "fixing" individual symptoms. I am eternally grateful for our success, for her professionalism, and partnership in my journey as a woman and a parent.

Jonas R, San Francisco
My experience with Dr. Francis was amazing. For over 15 years I had been cursed with terrible allergies and a constantly runny nose. Every morning I would spend at least two hours sneezing, rubbing my swollen eyes, and expelling mucus from my lungs and sinuses. These symptoms would come and go all day as well. It was so embarrassing. I tried remedies from all over the globe. While most would offer temporary relief, the treatments effectiveness would wear off after a while. Dr. Francis was able to identify the root of my problem and, even though she thought it was a severe case, was able to end my ailments in 3 months. The treatment consisted of nothing more than some diet restrictions, a few supplements, and 2 or 3 acupuncture sessions. I couldn't believe how easy it was for her to identify and cure my allergies. Furthermore, no other doctor I had seen had even come close to a correct diagnosis. I'm so grateful to her. My life is infinitely more enjoyable now.

Catherine H, New York
Dr. Gabrielle Francis changed my life and all for the better.  I came to her originally because I had a chronic cough that seven other doctors could not diagnose from a top New York ENT to a world famous Asthma specialist.  As the cough grew worse and my health started to decline more because of it, I went to Dr. Francis and within 2 months my cough was gone and I had never felt better. Once the cough was taken care of, she moved on to assist me in solving fertility issues that had made it difficult for me and my husband to conceive.  We just celebrated my sons first birthday and we absolutely have Dr. Francis to thank for our healthy baby boy. 

Betsy A, San Carlos
I started working with Gabrielle Francis approximately five years ago. When I came to her I was, frankly, desperate. I had tried several medical disciplines and none of them worked. Conventional medical practitioners didn't know what to do with me. Finally, I took the advice of a friend and called Dr. Francis. She spent nearly 2 hours with me during my first visit and I finally found hope that I would achieve optimal health again. In fact, I did just that by following her advice and working closely with her. I found her to be very practically minded and her suggestions fit right into my busy life of raising two active sons.

Not only is Dr. Francis a talented healer, she is also a trusted friend. She truly cares about her patients and helping them achieve the best health possible. I was blessed to have her in my life for many years!

Rita J, Beirut
If you are looking for a truly healing experience ,look no further than Dr.Gabrielle. She is a powerfu, .approachable ,real and enlightened healer, with a great humor and beautiful spirit. I have found a sense of deep satisfaction from working with her and her wonderful treatments. She helped keep my pain at bay and helped me feel relaxed which in turn made me a very happy and comfortable person overall. I can never thank you enough.

Peggy C, Mill Valley
My husband, my 11 year-old daughter and myself have all had the benefit of being treated by Dr. Gabrielle Francis. She has blessed us with her deep knowledge and keen sense as to what our bodies we're both lacking and deeply in need of. From a Mayan massage for my uterus after giving birth, to healing my daughter from mononucleosis (which no doctors ever caught), our other daughter who was struggling with an extreme case of psoriasis, and then addressing the needs of my husband who was dealing with work stress, drug use and mild depression, she has deeply and positively helped us all. As I am sipping my smoothie that is made from the powders and supplements she prescribed, I have to confess, Dr. Francis has changed our lives for the better and we all adhere to her gentle advise, her fabulous products and her overall sense for what is best for our bodies. 

Jaimie G, San Francisco
Dr G has been there to support my husband and myself for almost 7 years! In that time we have survived three of my husband's major surgeries, and the births of three children and all of the love and stress that comes along with those things.

She has really kept us together using the wide range of her skill set. Even when my son was 10 months old and not yet crawling, she gave him a little baby adjustment and he crawled that afternoon. From the infertility before my children to the neuroscience protocol that helps me to be a more relaxed and present mother Dr G has been a rock for myself and my family. I don't know how we would have managed without her and her magical and loving presence.

Debbie F, San Francisco
"It is hard to put into words the impact that Dr. Francis has had on my life.  I arrived at her office six years ago hoping to find relief for discomfort in my shoulder.  What I received was a life-changing path to health and well-being. There is no other practitioner out there with the knowledge, skills, insight, and intuition that Dr. Francis brings to her patients.  She has literally given me a better quality of life, and I will always be grateful for her role in my life."   

K. S., Oakland
When I first met Dr. Gabrielle Francis, I was suffering from chronic anxiety and depression, could barely sleep and was a phone call away from a psychiatric evaluation. Now, my neurotransmitter levels are properly balanced, my adrenal health has been restored and my previous symptoms no longer exist. My work with her has allowed me to reclaim my vitality and live a happy and fulfilled life serving my community, doing what I love. Candidly, she saved my life.

 Liz B, New Jersey
When I met Dr G I had experienced trouble walking for over  5 months and was constantly tired. I was prescribed by my specialist strong medication called Methotrexate for a perceived arthritis issue at the age of 39. My active and outgoing lifestyle had completely changed (I had been training to be an aerobics instructor and was no longer able to walk the boardwalk in my beloved Jersey shore town). I was depressed and confused where to turn to as I was seeing no progress.

Dr G immediately felt me cared for and prescribed her brand of natural medicine. Within 2 months I was walking with less pain and within 3 months completely off the Methotrexate drug and moving toward complete remission. Now 2 years last I have seen no symptoms and follow Dr G guidance for people with autoimmune issues and for cleaning up the gut. I highly recommend her and am very thankful she is in my life.

Natalie G, San Francisco
'I met Dr. Francis when I moved to San Francisco from England, three years ago. I now do not recognize the person I used to be, before meeting her.  My brother had been a client of hers for a number of years and he couldn’t speak more highly of her. I had arrived from London, overweight, stressed and basically burnt-out from “over-doing it” in my twenties. My diet was terrible, and the British culture of binge drinking had really taken its toll. I moved to the States to make a really big life change and I realized that my mind and body had to be in better shape for me to begin my transitional journey. 

All I can say now, is thank God my brother introduced me to Dr. Francis. Her no-nonsense, no-judgment, kind, yet direct approach is want instantly attracted me to her, but her advice and treatment is what kept me coming back, time and time again. The first consultation resulted in a one-month detox program, which transformed my life. Not only did I lose weight, I felt amazing. Many of the symptoms I had before the program, were now gone.  I wasn’t bloated, sluggish, stressed and exhausted anymore. I had a new lease of life.

Most importantly, however, Dr. Francis educated me.  I have a much greater understanding of how to have a more healthy existence. I’m no angel and I do lapse from time to time into some old bad habits, but I now know what to do to counteract a period of drinking or poor eating. I have made a folder (which is my bible) consisting of the program Dr. Francis put me on three years ago.  I know which foods to avoid and which food are beneficial for a strong body and mind.  I am now so much more conscious of what I put in to my body. I no longer ‘diet’ as such. I simply enjoy maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle and never feel restricted or bored with my choices. I'm a new woman and I'm grateful for it.

Kathy H, New York
I have traditionally gone to doctors practicing Eastern medicine and several years ago, when I developed serious lower back pain I consulted with those I had known.  They was no straightforward treatment.  There was the suggestion of physical therapy.  Possibly surgery down the road.  Hoping to find a more palatable solution, I went to see Dr. G and to this day I am amazed at the results.  Working through chiropractic "World Wrestling Federation" moves, soul calming acupuncture and heavenly massage she fixed me in a day.  No hours of boring physical therapy.  No invasive surgery.  And the treatment is like taking time out for special "me" time.  A spa trip.  The pain in my back does come back every 6 months or so, and when it does it's almost like a blessing - I get to see beautiful magical Dr. G and she fixes me while I enjoy the relaxation, comfort and quiet of her haven.

Jessica M, San Francisco
"I've been working with Dr. Gabrielle Francis for 3 1/2 years now.  In that time, I've seen my life, my health, go through amazing transformations.  I'm the healthiest and happiest I've ever been, inside and out.  I can't begin to express how grateful I am for what Dr. G. has done for me."

Tara B, New York
"Dr. Francis is a true healer. She has a caring presence and has always been patient and honest in answering all my questions.

When I step back into the buzz of the city after a treatment session at her serene office space, i feel like I'm carrying that serenity with me. After working with her, I am starting to listen to my body and understand it better. NYC needs more doctors like her, providing a hands-on holistic approach rather than just sending you home with some pills." 

Karlene A, New York
Dr. Francis has a way of bridging complete trust between patient and caregiver. By listening closely and using all aspects of her broad range of therapeutic knowledge. She diagnoses and delivers exceptional relief to the body and mind. I trust her completely enough to where I also will send my children to her for nurturing treatments whenever they are in need. She beautifully heals the body and feeds the soul.

Dorothy A, Memphis
In the past when visiting other doctors, specifically Western doctors, the problems I was experiencing were left unattended and unanswered. When I started seeing Dr. Gabrielle Francis, she was able to find and address my concerns immediately with a real diagnosis. I feel like twenty years have been added to my life. 

Sarah T, San Jose
After having suffered from a chronic condition for years and seeking medical attention to no avail, I asked a prominent Naturopath who happened to be teaching a course at my university if she knew of a holistic practitioner who may be able to help with my case. She referred me to Dr. Francis.  After meeting with Dr. Francis for the first time, it felt like I had arrived at an oasis. Finally, someone made sense, explained to me the roots of my condition and provided actionable solutions. I came home with an incredible sense of hope and empowerment along with a packet of educational materials, supplements, and a carefully laid out dietary regimen. With diligence and consistency I have managed to prevail over my chronic condition and can't imagine that I could have done so without the knowledge, guidance and support of Dr. Francis. She is the epitome of a healer with a plethora of experience, credentials and sincerity in her work that is unmatched by any health care practitioner I've met. I feel incredibly grateful to have her as a health-care ally!

Ann V, San Francisco
I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and was told that I would require surgery for both.  I chose to explore other options and was referred to Dr. G.   Dr. G. immediately knew what to do to relieve the constant tingling and numbness.   3 years ago I started acupuncture treatments with Dr. G and to this day I have not needed the surgery.   Thanks to Dr. G. I can continue working with no discomfort and NO SURGERY!

Judy M, San Francisco
Our lives felt a little out of control and we decided to visit Dr. Gabrielle Francis on recommendation of a friend. It was a fantastic suggestion as Dr. G quickly made us feel at home and guided us in simple transitions in food selections to better feed our bodies.

Within a few weeks, I no longer wanted anything sweet. It just didn't taste good. She combined her holistic approach with nutritional smoothies that were filling and delicious. That took me off the pre-diabetes watch list I was on and my husband and I found we had more energy. I had never had accupuncture and her session was a gentle introduction into it. She wiped out colds and flus easily with these sessions.

We were so sad to see her leave San Francisco as we had come to not only need her but to admire her and consider her a friend. Yet, her lessons are still with us and guiding our future toward health and peace.

Carrie M, Northern California
I came to Dr. Gabrielle Francis to treat my infertility due to numerous large uterine fibroid tumors that had caused multiple miscarriages; she was one of only 2 people in the Bay Area that were trained in Mayan Abdominal Massage.  Immediately, I felt a friendship and love that only comes forth from someone who truly loves to help heal others.  She treated me starting with the basic foundation of diet and nutrition, massage and chiropractic application, herbal medicine and exercise.  But what really strikes me is her amazing groundedness in supporting others on their healing journey, and her selflessness when it comes to providing care.  She has an unending energy and open-hearted love, and that really helped me to be comfortable and open to receiving the healing I needed on all levels, mind, body and spirit.  Dr. Gabrielle stood by to support me through the premature birth of my first child, and as my health improved, the healthy home-birth of my second child.  Today, my uterus is balanced and tumor-free, and I not only have two little miracle sons, but an inspiring friend for life!
