Testimonials

From happy clients!

Frances is the first craniosacral therapist I’ve worked with and I was very pleasantly surprised how restorative sessions with her were. She has a great blend of professionalism and personal warmth and my nervous system was very receptive to her. During sessions I would enter in a deeply relaxed state and would feel the continuing effects of that experience for days. I’ve done many types of therapeutic modalities and this is my favorite. Healing doesn’t have to be painful!

Mind-Body Therapist

Frances is a serious and extremely competent therapist. For me, her sessions were a profoundly relaxing experience, leaving me in a state of complete calm. One of the first things that strikes me about Frances is how professional she is, and at the same time very light and very positive.

Jim Collins
Former Owner & Manager, Chamy

There’s a presence Frances holds that’s hard to put into words — it’s deep, and incredibly attuned. Even after years of inner work, what I’ve experienced with her has taken me into places I hadn’t touched before. Through the cranial sacral work, especially around my jaw and skull, I released a level of tension and unprocessed anger I didn’t even realise I was carrying. It felt like years of pressure dissolving — and in the space that followed, I found inspiration again.

Her shamanic journeying is next-level. It’s not performative, it’s not fluff — it’s real, grounded, soul-level work. She helped me reconnect to my own truth in a way that bypassed the mental noise and dropped me into something far more ancient and intuitive.

There’s a deeper trust in myself that’s emerging from this work — in my intuition, my inner knowing, and my path forward. Frances doesn’t just facilitate healing — she opens the space for profound shifts that ripple into every part of life. I’m deeply grateful to have her in my corner.

I came to see Frances after struggling with persistent headaches and neck and shoulder pain for quite some time. After doing some research, I found her and decided to give craniosacral therapy a try, and I’m so glad I did. Frances is truly wonderful. Not only did my headaches disappear almost immediately after our session, but her calming and soothing energy instantly put me at ease. Every time I’ve had a session, I’ve left feeling not only physically better, but also emotionally lighter, like a weight had been lifted. I look forward to continuing sessions with her.

I work a lot on the computer, and often get tight shoulders and other issues from sitting long hours. Regular cranial treatments with Frances have helped alleviate these issues and left me healthier and happier!

Meeting Frances was a serious deepening of my healing journey. Her sensitive and intuitive touch was instrumental in helping move some long-term stuck energies, opening access to important parts of my emotional history. This unexpectedly served as a massive upgrade to my own bodily sensing and intuition. I am particularly grateful to Frances for her generosity of spirit— in teaching, in guidance, and in service to my highest healing, directing me to other needed resources. She is healer in the truest sense.

Unfoldment Coach

I highly value the sessions that I have with Frances. She is a gifted healer who helps me to release both physical and emotional tension, and to gain insights into my unconscious world. Her sessions often echo into the following hours and days, leading to insightful dreams, further emotional releases and a deeper sense of well-being.

Thomas Hurst
Therapist, Artist, and Former Buddhist Monk

Frances is very knowledgeable, very intuitive and very professional in her work. I had multiple sessions with her for various physical (back problem, neck issues, digestive system), mental (procrastination, self-loathing) or emotional issues (anger). Besides significant improvements in my issues, I got interesting insights that I perceived directly during the session, or that she shared with me during or after the session. Most of the time, her work made me fall asleep. She is genuinely passionate by her work and the well-being of others is her number one priority. She is gentle, caring and extremely sensitive to everything that happens during a session. She can perceive things beyond the senses and will share with very insightful feedback. With Frances you are in the best hands.

Nicolas Schlindler
Therapist

I highly recommend Frances as a craniosacral therapist. Her gentle yet deeply professional approach creates a truly magical and safe atmosphere. Every session feels transformative — she has an incredible ability to reach and heal not just the body, but also the mind and emotions. Each treatment is consistently effective, leaving me rebalanced, lighter, and more whole every time.

Yuliya Yuvati
Art Therapist

Frances has a true gift. Her cranialsacral work has brought incredible relief to my head, neck, and nervous system. Her technique is so gentle, yet deeply effective — after each session, I feel like my head is floating in the clouds. She has helped release tension I didn’t even know I was holding, especially in my jaw. I’ve recommended her to so many friends because I truly believe in her work. Frances creates a safe, calm space where real healing happens.

Frances is a very professional therapist. Every time I received a craniosacral session from her I felt like my overall health was getting strong improvements,
the relaxation that she can provide with her treatment to her clients is something very unique and deep,
I have tried different craniosacral therapists in Europe but Frances is far more talented in my opinion.

I knew I was stressed and struggled with tension in my body, but after meeting with Frances, she was able to help me become more comfortable in my body, regulated and find relief from symptoms I didn’t realize she could help me with. I had chronic pain in both of my elbows. One elbow was hurting for over 2 years and she was able to help me find resolution with it in just a couple sessions. My other elbow found significant relief, after a year of chronic pain, in just a few sessions as well. Frances was so professional and well educated, and I found our sessions informative, helpful and very relaxing. I always left feeling better than when I came.

I was referred to Frances by another healer during my integration process after a powerful plant medicine journey in Thailand. From the moment I arrived, Frances welcomed me with warmth and genuine care—her kindness was evident in her eyes. We had a beautiful conversation about my experience before she invited me to lie down for the energy work.

Her gentle therapy cat even joined us, curling up beside me on the table, adding an unexpected layer of comfort and sweetness to the session. Frances was deeply respectful and professional throughout, always asking for permission before placing her hands on my body and gently guiding me through the healing process.

I also learned a beautiful breathing technique during the session, which has since become part of my morning meditation practice. The effects of our session unfolded over the days that followed—I felt my heart center expand with love, peace, and a radiant sense of joy that lingered long after.

I’m truly grateful for Frances’ healing presence and the support she offered my nervous system during such a sensitive time. I highly recommend her to anyone going through integration or simply seeking deep energetic alignment. I look forward to seeing her again the next time I’m in Thailand.

Frances has the ability to treat simultaneously both the physical and the deeper psychic level of ailments. She treated me for twisted ankle, stiff neck, back pain, pulled muscles… and even childhood memories! It all surfaced and most of it passed away during therapy or shortly afterwards. She is very focused and knowledgeable about what she does, while at the same time transmitting a feeling of empathy and compassion for my conditions. I believe anyone suffering from acute ailments to acute memories or traumas will benefit from Frances’ craniosacral therapy.

Legal Consultant

My first alternative therapy was acupuncture when I was 13, followed by numerous other techniques. I have gone through reiki, chiropractics, shiatsu, healing with hands, healing with quartz, herbal medicine, Chinese medicine, homeopathy and macrobiotic diets. Now I am 44, and I am very confident in alternative healing methods. I received Frances’ therapies for a year. The first time I was quite sceptical, but that night something incredible happened. I felt that my body was so light that I could levitate (I am not really a person who meditates or does any practice like yoga). Each of the following sessions with Frances had immediate results, allowing different pains, fears and angers flow out of my body, and in a subtle way removed some past trauma. I appreciate her therapies and her lovely personality.

Manager, Promenada Chiang Mai

For years my back was feeling tense and back & neck pain became part of my life. I took weekly Craniosacral sessions with Frances and my back and neck pain got much better. After the treatment I felt relaxed and somehow stretched and kind of in the right place again. My stomach and digestion got much better as well.
 Emotionally my fears about my personal situation (moving back to my home country, my job, my financial situation etc) got much better and I wasn’t that anxious anymore. My sleep was deeper and I felt refreshed the next morning. The treatments were very powerful for me. Frances explained what she was doing and gave me information about what she felt in my body and put this information together like a puzzle. I miss my treatments with Frances since we moved to different countries… I think it’s very important to feel safe and have complete trust in your therapist.

Sylivia Taenzer
Nutritionist

I had a number of sessions with Frances to treat tension in my jaw and help me with stress and anxiety. She was great and her treatments helped me a lot. After each session I felt deeply relaxed and felt that something had changed in my system. It was easier for me to maintain focus and I slept better at night. I also sent my husband to see her as he was very stressed with work, and seemed a lot more chilled out afterwards! I would recommend Frances’ treatments to anyone who needs help with pain, anxiety or stress.

Uli Rylander
Hairdresser

Having experienced many treatments from Frances, I can vouch that the depth and variety of her treatments helped to reset my system to optimal function by balancing out the energy between my organs. Frances was able to find where my tension was ‘sitting’ and with her most gentle touch I experienced physical and emotional relief. Deep relaxation was experienced throughout my whole body, even though Frances did not work on the whole body.

Marion Van Delft
Childcare Professional

Frances is a natural healer with a motherly touch that helped me to unblock some past trauma and helped me to sleep better. She has a lot of experience in improving personal health and is also a fine example of what she teaches. I found it very easy to surrender to her in the sessions and always felt a positive effect from them. Miraculously, after our 3rd session, I quit smoking!

Antoinette Jackson
Director, superbee.me

Frances’ thorough touch has helped me to find a deep and long-term relaxation. She worked on the tension in my jaw, resulting in a relaxed jaw without clenching. During the sessions I gained interesting insights that helped me to make some important life choices. Frances’ presence is warm, welcoming and gentle, which made me feel at ease right from the beginning. I strongly recommend her services, she is a wonderful person with gifted hands and energy.

Nellie
Psychologist

Frances’ treatments helped me to regain balance after an exhausting time at work. I appreciated her holistic approach to addressing my issues, recommending other modalities as well. I continue to benefit from occasional treatments when I feel I need some hands on healing.

Andrea
Linguist

I came to Frances during a heavy time—referred by a friend at the FSS. Her craniosacral work plus shamanic depth released years of tension and helped me find the emotional and spiritual balance and understanding I needed. She’s the real deal.

I’ve spent a bit of time trying to understand the magnitude of how profound a change the visit to Frances made in my life. It would be easier to explain and understand if I were to treat my visit with Frances as a therapy session. The time I spent with her, unlocked an ability to think about things I’d already made judgement on in a different way. It enabled me to see the world in a different way and that then opened up new opportunities and a different sense of being in the world.

My path to healing from severe PTSD involved (involves) a number of stepping stones. Each of which needed careful attention to manage and navigate. I believe Frances is one of those stones. I still don’t know what Frances did, but I do know I would not be here, in a better place, without her.

Thank you Frances, forever grateful.
