Welcome to <chroma|soma> a space where art and movement come together to help you reconnect with your body, explore your essence, and live more authentically.
I created Chroma|Soma from my own lifelong relationship with creativity and embodiment.
It’s the fusion of everything I’ve learned through art, movement, and healing, a place where expression becomes awareness and awareness becomes transformation.
Here, I guide you through practices that unite artistic creation, somatic intelligence, and emotional presence, so you can rediscover yourself through the language of the body and the imagination.
Chroma|Soma is a creative and conscious somatic platform — blending art, movement, and emotional intelligence to help you reconnect with your body and live from your essence.
Beyond being a personal practice, Chroma|Soma also acts as a somatic events producer, creating experiences, workshops, and performances that explore embodiment, creativity, and collective transformation.
Hi, I’m Franca, an artist, storyteller, and movement enthusiast.
For more than twenty years, I’ve lived through art in many forms: painting, design, photography, and dance. Each discipline has taught me something different about the body, emotion, and the human experience.
After surviving moments of deep transformation, I found in somatic practice and creative expression the tools to return to myself to rebuild, to feel, and to live with authenticity.
Chroma|Soma is the space where I share that process with others. It’s where art meets movement, and movement becomes healing.
I didn’t arrive here from living only in my head; I’ve been body-led since childhood. Whenever life shocked me out of myself, it was always the body that called me back into awareness and movement.
After my uncle Freddy’s passing (2019), I chose a proactive grieving practice. That decision opened a deep dive into somatics and led me to contact improvisation, where I found a living language for presence, relationship, and repair.
A couple of years later, when I lost one of my best friends in 2021, that new tragic loss became the turning point, the true conception of Chroma|Soma as both a practice and a promise
The real unfolding happened between 2022 and 2024, while I was navigating an abusive relationship. My body spoke through tension, fatigue, and emotional collapse.
I later understood that I was in a dorsal vagal state, a deep shutdown response described in the polyvagal theory. This realization led me to the work of Peter Levine and his approach to Somatic Experiencing® through which I slowly found the path back to myself.
It was through these two lenses: movement and somatic science, that I understood that healing and creativity must live in the same place.
Chroma|Soma is my way of sharing what worked for me, in my language of art and movement for self-discovery.
I’m developing programs and practices, and I’m also a conscious somatic events producer, curating workshops, retreats, and collaborations with mentors who are changing how we heal through the body.
This is a creative embodiment practice for real life: to reconnect with your body, restore self-trust, and live more authentically.
If this speaks to you, I’d love to walk this path together.
F!
When you work with me through Chroma|Soma, you’re not signing up for a class; you’re stepping into a process of creative embodiment that helps you meet yourself where you are and move from there with honesty and authenticity.
Whether you want to purge stuck emotions, learn how to sense the uncomfortable, or have a safe space to express yourself, I can guide you through it and design a unique program or workflow that will truly meet your needs without bullshit.
Every person carries an untold story within their body, one that’s waiting to be expressed, heard, and transformed.
<chroma|soma> is your invitation to explore that story through art and movement, at your pace, with compassion and honesty.
Whether you’re curious, ready to move, or simply need a space to breathe, I’d love to meet you.
Book your first session or schedule a free discovery call to explore how we can work together.
With love and movement,
Franca Franchi
Founder of Chroma|Soma
