Testimonials

My name is Ella & I suffer from depression and anxiety.

Over time, certain instances have made their mark on my mind and body.

Always fairly active in my lifestyle, I recently completed a yoga-training course in hope of helping my hips open. I found, after overstraining my body for 3 months, that all the muscles on my right side are so tight that when I stretch, it makes them tighter.

A neurosis injury – something embedded in my mind that creates a sort of fight response, whenever I use the muscles. The pain stems mainly from my jaw and shoulders, then exists in my mind and lower back, from time to time! I am also a severe teeth grinder.

In order to aid the pain and figure out what created it, I tried many natural healing techniques, such as psychology; acupuncture; massage; kinesiology; osteopathy and I got x-rays and ultrasounds, after pinching nerves in my hip, which showed nothing, even though half of my leg was numb.

These treatments assisted the trauma, yet it continued to get worse.

The Kinesiology was able to tell me what year the trauma began, but not what happened. I then spent many months in agony, over trying to figure out what had caused it and why it had happened!

I was in a rut!

I approached Fran Douglas regarding Quantum Healing and to be honest, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect! Although I knew that I was there to help me discover myself, I didn’t initially realize how well I would meet my true self!

When Fran asked if I had a story that was attached to panic at being misunderstood, in my past, I saw it in clear light! I knew exactly what the story was because Fran was teaching me the language that our body speaks to us.

The thing that I found most intriguing with this was that Fran did not have a need to know the story. She did not need to know what had happened, I DID and I quickly began to realize that no practitioner nor medicine could heal me because YOU heal YOU!

If I want to get past this trauma, I must remember it and clear it! I am ultimately my own healer!

Since beginning the sessions with Fran and implementing the program and exercises she has taught me, I have become more confident and happy! The feeling of being loved and loving has increased for me!

Certain layers have been stripped away organically and I have experienced deep emotional releases! I have been better able to cope with my emotions and see more clearly where anxiety or worry is taking over and I am able to halt and release it, almost immediately & to be able to recognize how and why my mind and emotions went into a spiral for a moment, straight after!

I have also noticed that my partner is changing as I do and is reflecting similar progress in his life. Our communication has improved and fighting has decreased. He has said things to me regarding profound realizations about his own life, in a mirror relation to what I was going through, at the time!

It is almost as if my healing extends to those around me!

My mind is much more peaceful, calmer and happier, even though my body is still in pain and I am hoping that as I continue to peel away the layers of depression and anxiety in my being that my muscles will begin to loosen again, too!

It is a journey and everything takes time and I am finally able to accept that!.

Fran is a compassionate and wise teacher and practitioner and since beginning the program with her, I am finally starting to truly understand the language that my body is speaking to me and respond to that!

Ella

My healing with Fran was truly life changing and an experience I am so grateful for.

A few days before I went to see Fran I was ready to take my life and leave this world. The stress and service of motherhood of a baby, plus a rough separation had left me so drained and depleted that I was ready to give up. My heart, mind and body couldn’t take it anymore.

A mental breakdown had me admitted to hospital and put in the psych ward, but I was released 48hrs later.

For the following days, I was grateful to be back home and with my son, but I still needed a lot of support and on a deeper level, I urgently needed healing, so my best friend arranged for me to see Fran and I can confidently say that I left that day, after seeing her, a new woman.

I was empowered and had my spark back. I was ready to live life again and I was excited about what was coming.

We did some trauma healing and I fully released the grief of my failed relationship, birth story and my mothers passing. I was instantly at peace with it all and I was brought back to my divine nature and understanding.

Since my healing, I’ve been in true alignment and I’ve been so happy within myself and with my life. My mental and emotional state has shifted profoundly. I feel strong and I’m able to cope with life’s challenges with ease and grace.

My healing had such a positive impact on my life and the lives around me. My relationships now flourish and I’m in love with life again.

I will forever be grateful for Fran and her healing work, which catalysed my transformation into the healed and empowered woman I am today.

My name is Victor Mulvihill.

I have known Frances Douglas for 13 years.

In that time I have had some great life challenges to face and deal with.

I am so thankful and grateful to have had her to go to for counsel and guidance, in my darkest hours, during those years.

Before she came into my life, I felt lost; hopeless; helpless; alone; and very depressed. I wanted to feel happy, successful and in control of my life, but I didn’t know how to get there.

After Franie came into my life, shared with me her wisdom and taught me ways of dealing with life’s curve balls, my life and happiness took an upward swing.

I felt happier and healthier. My relationships with others improved! My life meant something to me again and I was able to “let go” of negative emotions from painful past experiences and therefore, see and focus my energy towards all of the positive experiences that surrounded me.

It is difficult to find the words to express the love and gratitude that I feel for this awesome woman! Without her and her wisdom, love and continued support, I feel I would have remained “lost” in a very dark world!

Tree Arborer

You know those moments when you see someone and they look awfully familiar? You know you haven’t met them before but you can’t keep your eyes off them because somehow there is a sense of familiarity you can’t place your finger on.

I was at a business event and saw a woman who gave me this feeling. I couldn’t stop staring. There was a strong pull towards her I just couldn’t explain. Later that evening, I looked her up on Facebook and started chatting to her. I found out she was a Reiki Master. Without hesitation, I asked if I could meet her and have a session. Little did I know this meeting would change my life forever.

The Road Trip

Fran “The Medicine Lady”, lived a few hours away so I decided to make a road trip out of it and head to one of my favourite spots in Australia, Byron Bay. Together with my best friend Sam, we decided to spend some much needed quality girl time and go see Fran together. Sam had been going through a rough time and I had a darkness inside me that I hadn’t been able to shake.

We both thought thought this trip would be exactly what the doctor ordered. A bit of nature, the ocean breeze and some spiritual enlightenment. I was super excited. My business partner happened to be in Byron so we also met up with her and she showed us some hidden spots that only the locals knew.
It was meant to be storming that weekend but somehow, we missed the rain and managed to get some vitamin D and catch some waves. We could see the rain a couple of hundred metres away but Sam and I were swimming in the ocean smiling about the fact we weren’t getting the storm. I’ve been pretty lucky with weather but that is another story for later.

The Reiki Master

Our weekend in Byron was perfect. Every meal we ate was divine and the weather was kind to us. Fran lived on the way home so we decided to end our trip with a Reiki session. I had no idea that this meeting would change the way I saw things and open my eyes to things I wasn’t even aware of.

She was a gorgeous woman, sun kissed by the sunshine and eyes that glistened as she spoke. I had no idea what to expect. I had only had a Reiki session done once before but this was not like anything I had ever experienced. This was on a whole other level. I have to say this was the most uplifting, exposing, emotional yet empowering moment I have yet encountered.

“What did you need help with? What did you want to achieve with this session?” Fran asked as she ushered me to sit by the table I was soon to lie on. I had no clue. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted or even know what to expect. “I’m not sure,” I whispered. “I just know that since I had an old friend come visit me, I have had this heavy, dark feeling inside of me that I cannot shake.” She beckoned me to strip off and lie on the table.

The Spirits

Fran gave me a Reiki massage and as I lay there, I could feel the energy coming from her hands. There was a heat I could feel and at times, I wasn’t even sure if she was near or even touching me. I could just feel she was there. I hadn’t mentioned to her that I was limping as I had hurt my left ankle but let’s just say that after the session, the limp was gone.

As I started to relax, she told me that there were two spirits in the room. One an old lady, with grey hair and missing teeth. The other, a man dressed in tribal clothing, an old warrior. This wasn’t the first time someone had told me that an old lady was watching over me.
In fact, I had met her before, at 13, she came to me before I got kicked out of home and whispered that everything would be okay. She had touched my face and I ran out of the room screaming to my mother. When I told my mother what happened, she started to cry. She seemed to know who it was. I was just frightened to go back to my room alone.

“She’s still here and she has always been there by your side,” Fran explained. I believed her. Throughout my life, I have skipped death more than a few times and I have always felt a presence watching over me. I knew that I was being watched over, one can’t be that lucky right?

Breaking Down My walls

The session went for a couple of hours and to write about it would be too much for a blog. (Yet maybe I say this so I don’t have to delve into just how emotional it was). Fran said that I had their spirits inside me. The wise woman and the warrior man. I giggled to myself as this would explain a lot about my personality. She also said some things that kind of shook me.

“You’re good at pretending.” I looked up at her and she was staring right into my eyes. It was like she was piercing into my soul. “You need to believe in yourself. They keep telling me that they believe in you but you need to believe in yourself.” At first I was stunned. I mean, I was a girl that used to be homeless and now I am a woman that has accomplished so much and still have a lot more yet to accomplish. What did she mean I have to believe in myself?

“You are worthy of good things, even when you were a street kid, you were still worthy. You say you are worthy but you need to believe it. You aren’t what happened to you. You were a victim and you came through.” She was looking right into my soul and I could feel her piercing into me. “You are strong baby girl but it’s okay to cry. You are not alone.” I looked at her and she repeated, “It’s okay to cry.” I couldn’t help myself, it’s one thing to say it to yourself but to have someone tell you that it’s okay to hurt, that it’s okay to let it out, after all of those years, I burst into tears.

I could count on one hand the amount of times I have ever really cried and this time, I felt the heaviness releasing from inside of me. A heaviness I did not know was there. I thought I had healed from all of this and had come to terms with everything that had happened. I stopped crying and she exclaimed, “Let it out!” I started to sob again but this time it was a weird feeling of my heart breaking yet healing at the same time. It’s actually quite difficult to put into words.

Epiphany

Fran ended the session by opening my chakras and using crystals to heal me. I felt the energetic shift inside of me and strangely enough, I felt grounded again. Before I left, Fran asked me,”If you were to meet someone that told you your story as if it were their own, if you were to meet someone that had gone through everything you had gone through and had the same characteristics as you had, what would you think of them?” I paused for a second and a little startled replied, ” I would think that they were a strong and amazing human being.” Fran smiled at me and said, “Well that’s you. It’s time you start really seeing that.”
Sam went in for her session and I took the car and went for a drive to the beach where I sat in my thoughts and went in for a swim. It was cleansing. I had a million thoughts running through my head but I felt at peace. I felt enlightened.

The Truth

As I sat there staring into the waves, I realised that through all of the times I have told my story, I said it with no pain. I could replay the stories and not shed a tear. I thought that this was because I had come to terms with everything that had ever happened to me. It was only at this moment did I realise that I had numb myself from the pain and never really allowed myself to feel the hurt it had caused me.
Here I was writing blogs and making YouTube videos in hopes to inspire and motivate other people in their own journeys. Here I was replying back to emails to people all over the world trying to help others. Here I was taking on other people’s burdens, feeling everyone else’s pain when all the while I was doing to others what I needed for myself.

I needed someone to show me that it was alright. I needed someone to show me that I wasn’t alone. Here I was trying to be there for others when it was me that needed someone there. Whenever I needed lifting, I would turn to read and watch YouTube videos from Louise Hay, Oprah, Tony Robbins and the likes of people I knew had gone through struggle and came out on the other side.

Learning to Really Love Myself

On the drive home I said to Sam, ” I have never really stepped outside of myself to see me from someone else’s eyes. It was kind of a shock to have Fran tell me to look at myself as if I was someone else I had met. She said I see the beauty in others but I don’t see it in myself.” Sam just looked at me and said, “Babe, now you know why I rave about you so much and why I have the most incredible respect for you. You’re absolutely beautiful and the things you do for others and the things you have accomplished on your own amazes me.”

For years my close friends have all told me just what an incredible human they think I am but it was only at this moment that I really understood what they meant. As Fran said, it isn’t your ego when you see just how incredible you are. Take ownership of all of the accomplishments, take pride in all of the goodness you have given to others. Hold your head up high knowing you are continuously growing and striving to be the best version of you. Own it.

I wanted to share this experience with you all as I hope that if you are reading this, you too see just how amazing you are. It isn’t conceited to know your worth. If good things come to you, don’t even for a second feel modest or undeserving of it. You deserve everything great that comes your way because everything great that has come to you is a reflection of you and your character.

It’s one thing to say it but to really believe it. Well darling, I must say it’s an absolutely fucking beautiful feeling that I am just starting to learn. You really are worth it and you are more than enough. If someone tries to make you feel anything but worthy, send them on their merry way.

If you ever find yourself near Byron Bay, I highly recommend paying my dear friend Fran a visit. This blog doesn’t even come close to what I really experienced. The day I met the Reiki Master was life changing. I thought I was already empowered but little did I know just how much I was really myself holding back.

The Fitness Freedom Flow

My healing journey with Fran has been an absolute blessing, and an experience that I am truly so grateful for.

After a very painful breakdown of a long term relationship with my partner and the loss of my job accumulating all at once, I was feeling incredibly low, directionless and so out of touch with my inner light. Battling to deal with the heartache, loss, and the financial pressures of my new reality, it felt as though my entire life was spiralling deeper and deeper out of control quicker than I knew how to deal with.

A friend of mine recommended I connect with Fran for some guidance, desperate and at my wits end I agreed, little did I know then, that Fran would completely change my life, helping me to find my light again, and return back to my divine flow.

I felt incredibly comfortable and supported upon first meeting Fran, and found it very easy to open up and share my journey with her. During our initial conversation, Fran was able to tap right into the core of my suffering, and offer a profound shift in perspective, ultimately leading me to a greater understanding and awareness of why things had manifested the way they did. She performed a crystal healing on me with some trauma healing too, and almost instantly I was able to release the pain and resistance to letting go that I had been struggling with for so long. She also introduced me to my spirit guides, and through them was able to pinpoint areas of my life I needed to work on to return to true alignment in my life.

I left that day feeling incredibly empowered. For the first time in a long time, I was excited about what was to come in the future, and ready to live my life to the fullest again.

Since my healing with Fran, my life has undergone a profound transformation. I feel so at peace with my past, and so happy within my life and myself. I have found my direction again, and have an overwhelming appreciation for all that has happened in my journey thus far. Her healing work has equipped me with the tools I need to truly embrace my purpose and take on more of life’s challenges with ease.

I am forever grateful for Fran, her healing work and her guidance. She has had such a beautiful and positive impact upon my life, and cannot begin to thank her enough.
