About Frances
my story
My adventure in life began with dancing in the sun in New Mexico. Attaining my goal of becoming a professional ballet dancer took me on the road and instilled in me the love of travel. After a time I realized I had the gift of helping others with my healing hands so I left the stage and began a new career. 35 years later I am still helping people to attain comfort in their body, mind, and spirit.
I have been working as a licensed massage therapist, polarity therapist, yoga teacher, yoga school owner, and KST practitioner for 35 years in DC, New York City, Florida, and now Southern Maine.
Currently, my intention is to share with as many people as I can what I have learned of value in this life as a healer, artist, and yogini. I maintain a full therapy practice, in addition to teaching workshops and trainings.
I look forward to passing on this knowledge and adding to it what I learn from you.
