My Mission : A Star Aligned, Solar Powered Journey…
With an adventurous approach to living and learning through this human experience I continue to be inspired, informed and influenced by the weaving of both traditional and innovative methods for awakening an elevated state of consciousness. Through my own journey of balance and harmony I have explored many pathways of practices, innately guided by a desire to live authentically and intentionally - which has in turn given me a sense of fulfilment whilst in this process of discovery in itself.
Just like other souls who walk this planet, many of my most profound healing portals have come from a moment of extreme pain or window of chronic suffering - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually… making it through the other side of these experiences (whilst continuing to manage new portals of growth and inner healing), I have come to see all of them as my teachers. To share a personal example, one of the greatest teachers encountered was through a digestive disease at 19 years old, one that required emergency surgery after the final straw of emergency room alleviated complaints within a 5 month window had come, after experiencing many acute symptoms of inner friction and inflammation. The timing was impeccable considering my main interest throughout my teenage life was of nutrition and digestive health, coupled with the fact I was enrolled to begin my studies in natural health and nutritional medicine in Brisbane, Australia just months after my whirlwind medical interventions. Little did I know that this was to be the beginning of walking a path of learning to understand the importance of incorporating a holistic, alternative and natural approach to my own health journey through a multi-modality integrative approach the next 13 years and beyond… *Please scroll to the bottom of the page if you’re interested in my certifications and studies.
Thankful for the teachings of nature, travels, the schools of training, for teachers and mentors who have shared their knowledge from a place of deep devotion for their passion of practice, it is here I share the valued tools and techniques that have supported the journey of ‘ remembering’ my pathway back towards wellness and wholeness.
As a believer of each individuals innate potential power to consciously contribute towards a healthier and sustainable world, my offerings are here to guide as you traverse the journey of actively engaging the path of self-care and self-discovery. From a place of abundance and compassion, it brings me joy when working with those who are ready to awaken their vitality from from a dormant to a dynamic state - who are ready for a safe place of collaboration and facilitation to work with the body’s in-built inner processes. Having worked with clients from many walks of life from different parts of the world, I am finding that a holistic, practical and consistently curious and evolving approach to be of most help when navigating the non-linear path that coming back to the wisdom of the heart calls for. I have also found the call to explore this path is Universal, and one that honours diversity and seasonality of one’s life stage.
As a devoted practitioner of the healing arts, advocate of self-lead nourishment towards ourselves on a mind-body-soul level, lover of and learner of astrological insights, explorer of metaphysical realms, and curious student of natures wisdom and life itself, I offer my services to those looking to deepen their relationship with body, mind and soul - and inevitably the world around them.
For an empowering and impactful curation and facilitation of holistic health and healing experiences - I’m here and I would love to hear from you.

“Working with Frances was a truly incredible experience. Her breathwork session was powerful yet held with such kindness, gentleness and care. Throughout the process I felt completely supported and safe. The experience itself was transformative and afterwards, I felt unbelievable: Lighter, clearer, and deeply grounded. Frances has such a thoughtful and intuitive way of guiding. I can’t recommend her enough. ”
Norman Crowley - Chairman, Cool Planet, Wicklow Ireland
“I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure breathwork was my thing, but Frances completely changed my mind. I first met her on a retreat in Sri Lanka and was so impressed that i invited her to Ireland to work with my team! She’s calm, and really knows how to hold the space without making a fuss. During the breathwork, I went places I didn’t expect at all, and after it… I felt unreal. Like someone hit the reset button. Can’t thank her enough, she’s something special, no doubt about it.”
Natalie, Australia
“I didn’t know what to expect of my session with Frances. What I did know was that it felt like what I needed. The time we spent together was filled with ease. I was enveloped in what felt like a warm comforting hug, The session concluded and I felt unaffected but calm. To my surprise my energy throughout the day and the next felt deeply grounded and present. Thank you Frances.”
Brooke, Australia
“The moment Frances walked into my home, I knew it was going to be a transformative experience. Frances brings with her an earthly and kind energy that envelops you, leaving you feeling so safe and nurtured. She used a combination of guided breath, Reiki, sound healing, acupressure and essential oils to guide me deeper through my session. It was such an enjoyable session and I feel honoured I got to experience it. I can’t recommend Frances enough! Frances not only nourished and nurtured me, but left me with strategies and tools to use every day to assist my nervous system and continue healing.”
Mel, Australia
“If you have never done breathwork and are a skeptic like me let me tell you from a fellow first timer that this was an amazing experience and Frances is such a perfect fit for guiding you through it all. As a busy mum of 4, finding the time to do this felt completely impossible but holey moley after it was done I felt like I had just been at a retreat. I honestly felt lighter and so refreshed and could not wait to tell anyone and everyone how good this experience was for me. To be honest I thought wow two hours of deep breathing is going to be a drag, that there might be some weird woo woo I’m not into, but the time went by way too fast. I was breathing deeper than I ever have in my life ( and I’ve given birth naturally 4 times haha ), I felt so comfortable with Frances I even had some micro naps throughout but each time it felt like I was shedding something that needed to be gone. I can honestly hand on heart recommend this 110%. You never know if you never try it right!”
Robyn, Australia
“I tried somatic breathwork with Frances out of curiosity, but also because I was feeling deeply stressed, anxious and disconnected to myself. Though initially unsure of what to expect, I was immediately put at ease by Frances’ calming, grounded presence - she radiates warmth and safety. Her clear, accessible guidance and the carefully curated music created a powerful sense of bodily awareness and presence. To my surprise, I experienced an emotional release that left me feeling lighter and more connected to myself. In the days and weeks that followed, I noticed a quiet but profound shift - more calm, more clarity, and even a return to things that bring me joy. I would recommend this experience wholeheartedly, especially to those who feel uncertain ; Frances has a remarkable ability to blend the spiritual and the practical in a way that feels both deeply human and incredibly accessible.”
Dee, Ireland
“.My sessions with Frances were each a profound experience. From yoga, qi gong, sound and breath work, her knowledge and experience are extensive. She creates a beautiful, safe and inviting space, allowing you to explore deep insights and shed held tension. I have recommended Frances to many others, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
Gabby, Australia.
“.My breath work session with Frances was so memorable, I still think of it often. I hadn’t had the best experiences with breathwork in the past and was nervous as I wasn’t sure what a o1 on 1 session would entail. Frances was an incredible guide throughout the entire session. Ever present, she led me into a place beyond space and time, coaxing me deeper while physically helping to release the tension from my body. The breathwork session really helped to re-write old, automated patterns where my nervous system had limited my breathing and showed me how to access a higher level of breath capacity - stretching my lungs to new limits and helping me engage with my diaphragm in a way that I have been able to integrate into my daily life. By connecting with my diaphragm and subsequently my breath, I am able to observe where and when I am stressed, overwhelmed or too much in my head and draw that attention back to my diaphragm and thus, my body. This has helped me immensely i my tai chi practice as well as day to day life. I highly recommend Frances for her warmth, professionalism and level of presence. ”
