Welcome to Nurture Health
I am Jessica Bridge Frances and I would like to extend a warm welcome to you here at Nurture Health.
Nurture Health is my naturopathic practice based in North London, which has Counselling and Life Coaching at its core. I came to the therapy industry from an eclectic background of Chartered Surveying, Naturopathy and Naturopathic Nutrition. All these form my foundation, and influence my holistic approach to health.
I offer Integrated Life Coaching and Counselling, Tarot Consultations and my Nurture Your Health blog. You can find out more about these by clicking on the green links.
How could Chartered Surveying have anything to do with health, you might ask? Well, in an oblique way, it does. Our built environment very much affects our sense of well being, and the property industry are very much alive to this fact.
I am a BACP registered Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and Human Potential Life Coach who has worked in several different settings. These include a hospice, and two women’s charities (one an NHS IAPT provider).
I am now in private practice.
With a wide experience to draw upon, I hope to help others navigate their way to feeling better.
Tarot Consultations
Healing Through ArchetypesTarot Consultations
The Tarot will help you gain the clarity you seek. I combine a Tarot consultation with integrated coaching/counselling to offer a focused two hour healing session. You choose the cards blind and they become our guide. It is a system of divination that has been around for centuries, helping the seeker to work out their best way forward…
Integrated Coaching and Counselling
Creating Positive ChangeIntegrated Coaching and Counselling
There are times in most people’s lives when challenges become overwhelming, when we get stuck and/or lose our sense of purpose and direction. In those moments it may feel difficult to reach out. If you have found your way here, then maybe integrated coaching/counselling can help you explore what is no longer working for you and assist you in creating the change you desire…
Blog
Nurture Your Health.Nurture Your Health
Here is a place where you can get useful tips on supporting all aspects of your health. Our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs are all linked, and here we look at the whole of it in a unified way. Let’s build a community and support each other.
Nurture Your Health Blog
I invite you to take a look at my Nurture Your Health blog. Its main goal is to explore the impact of trauma on our health as well as how we can heal from it. It will examine the world of trauma in general and how some traumas originate in adverse childhood experience. It will also look at the sometimes resulting aftermath of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or complex-PTSD.
How to Heal Yourself
That said, you do not need to feel impacted by trauma to still have mental or physical health challenges, so this blog will be a resource for anyone looking to keep their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health on track. Having spent almost 20 years navigating the personal development world to improve my own health, I feel it might now be helpful to share some of what I have discovered. Bit by bit, it will introduce the many different ways we can support our own health.
It was my intuition that lead me to look wider than orthodox medical practices when I was looking for answers. That led me to embracing naturopathic philosophy and modalites alongside orthodox medicine, to truly get to the bottom of what I was experiencing. If you would like to understand more about bringing these two medical worlds together for your own healing, please head over to my Nurture Your Health blog page. This is a new enterprise, so please bear with me. The articles will build an archive over time.
Mary Magdalene Pilgrimage Diaries
My Mary Magdalene Pilgrimage Diaries are the latecomer to this blog. Mary has made her way to front of stage! Other articles that I had planned will now take longer to arrive than I originally anticipated. So again, please bear with me.
Mary Magdalene is synonymous with the rising feminine energy that is all about us in these times. She is about the harmonising of masculine and feminine principles both within the individual, and between men and women in general. This is what I was tuning into when I set off in her footsteps through the South of France in May 2023.
Mary Magdalene may have come in late, but she is a perfect adjunct to these writings. She is all about healing , particularly of masculine and feminine dynamics, and I welcome her.

“From the moment that I started working with Jessica, I knew that I had found someone I could fully trust. Jessica listens with compassion and guided me with true inner wisdom. Her enquiries were gentle but purposeful and got me to look at things in a different way. There are no words to adequately thank her for all she has done for me.”
“Jessica has adopted the conventional Tarot system to compliment and enhance her therapeutic and psychological practice. Her methodology is unique, creating a healing experience that is both spiritually and psychologically life-affirming.”
“Working with Jessica has enabled me to recognise, then work to release past trauma, in a way which feels natural and safe. Her warm and wise approach, along with her astute insight is reassuring and impressive.”
“As someone who has been in therapy for a number of years, I found one Tarot reading with Jessica to be incredibly insightful and helpful to my personal journey. The cards provided a visual path into the unconscious. What was revealed would have taken many sessions of peeling through the onion layers to get to in my conventional therapy.”
“I wasn’t sure what to expect from a Tarot reading but immediately felt at ease with Jessica. It was a collaborative experience guided by the cards, which provided me with meaningful insights and deeper understanding of my current situation. Jessica is intuitive, empathetic, and a truly gifted therapist/reader. I highly recommend using the Tarot as a platform to explore psychological growth and healing.”
