A native of the East coast, Francie completed her undergraduate degree in Sociology and Criminal Justice. A craving for a deeper personal experience and cultural diversity, led Francie to move to Las Vegas, New Mexico to pursue her Master’s degree in Counseling. Her experience in New Mexico brought Francie into her love of nature and service. It was clinical experiences in a psychiatric hospital, community mental health center and a methadone clinic, that initially awakened Francie to the connection between mental health and nutritional health.
After graduation, Francie spent time in the human services field working for the New Mexico Human Services Department. Eight years later, Francie pursued additional training in Health Counseling to bridge nutrition and mental health so that she could respond to an unmet need in people struggling to feel their best. A natural synthesizer of information, Francie found empowerment and passion in bringing these two fields together and expressing her unique voice to the world.
Prioritizing empowerment and healthy relationships was the seed for Francie’s private practice as a counselor, and her impulse to become an author and public speaker. Francie continues to be an advocate for the connection between food and mood, and is a voice for this with clients and readers who are interested in finding and living their wellness.
