Francesca Sciascia, an author, wellness entrepreneur, intuitive life coach, and energy healing practitioner dedicated to helping people move from survival to self-discovery, healing, and freedom, has been nominated for the Author of the Year award at the Influencer Magazine Awards 2026.
The nomination recognises her work in bringing together wellness, spirituality, storytelling, and entrepreneurship to encourage others to reclaim their voice, reconnect with themselves, and create a life that feels authentically their own. Through her work and her memoir, From Pieces To Peace: A Journey Back To ME, Francesca transforms lived experience into a message of resilience, empowerment, and personal transformation.
From Pieces To Peace: A Journey Back to ME is more than a memoir; it is a deeply personal story of resilience, self-discovery, and reclaiming one’s voice after navigating difficult chapters in life. Through vulnerable storytelling, Francesca shares her experience with others who may feel lost, broken, or disconnected from themselves, offering a message of hope and empowerment.
The book represents not only the culmination of her personal journey, but the beginning of a larger mission to inspire others to find their way back to themselves. Her writing is characterised by its honesty and emotional depth, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives and consider the possibilities that lie beyond their struggles.
At the heart of Francesca’s story is a belief that carried her through some of her hardest moments: you can come through life’s challenges better, not bitter. Her story is not about pretending the pain never happened. It is about finding meaning in the pieces, rebuilding with greater awareness, and discovering that peace can still be possible after life takes you places you never expected to go.
Francesca’s journey to becoming an author is rooted in her own experiences of navigating challenging life circumstances and her determination to find meaning and purpose in the midst of difficulty. She understands what it feels like to be lost and disconnected, and she has channelled that understanding into her work as a coach, healer, and writer.
Her memoir is a testament to the power of vulnerability and the courage it takes to confront one’s past in order to build a more authentic and fulfilling future. Through her storytelling, she offers readers a roadmap for their own journey of healing and self-discovery, demonstrating that it is possible to move from a place of brokenness to a place of peace.
She does not write from the outside looking in. She writes for the person who may be sitting in the same chair she once sat in…feeling lost, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to begin again. Her memoir is an invitation to those people to see that their story is not over and that finding their way back to themselves is possible.
For more than two decades, Francesca has worked in the wellness industry, supporting others through her work as a wellness entrepreneur, nutritional consultant, and energy healing practitioner. Her work is rooted in a holistic understanding of wellbeing and the belief that healing involves more than one part of who we are.
Her work as an energy healing practitioner complements her coaching practice, providing clients with a holistic approach to wellbeing that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. She believes that true healing requires more than just addressing surface-level symptoms; it requires a deep exploration of the underlying issues that hold people back from living fully and authentically. Her approach is grounded in compassion, empathy, and a genuine desire to see her clients thrive.
As an author, Francesca brings this same understanding to her writing. Her work explores emotional truth, resilience, healing, freedom, and the journey of finding your way back to yourself. She writes not from a place of having all the answers, but from lived experience and from the belief that even the most difficult chapters of our lives can become part of something meaningful.
What distinguishes Francesca is her ability to weave together her diverse skills and experiences into a cohesive and impactful practice. She is not simply a writer or a coach; she is a multifaceted practitioner who brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to her work.
Her background in wellness, spirituality, entrepreneurship, and personal transformation allows her to offer a comprehensive approach that addresses the many dimensions of the human experience. Rather than presenting healing as a perfect or linear process, she speaks openly about the realities of rebuilding yourself while still carrying the experiences that shaped you. Her work has resonated with readers and clients alike, earning her a reputation as a compassionate and effective guide for those seeking to reclaim their lives.
Francesca’s nomination for the Author of the Year Award at IMA 2026 celebrates her extraordinary contributions to the world of writing and personal development. From her early days as a wellness entrepreneur to her current role as a published author and coach, Francesca has consistently demonstrated the qualities of a true leader: resilience, authenticity, and a deep commitment to helping others find their way back to themselves.
Her memoir, From Pieces To Peace: A Journey Back To ME, is a powerful reminder that it is never too late to rewrite your story and that even the most difficult experiences can become the foundation for a life of meaning, purpose, and peace. Her legacy is defined not only by the words she has written but by the lives she has touched and the hope she has inspired in others.
You are not your past. You are your return.
