Stop searching and start experiencing real spiritual guidance and help!…read more Written by an impatient and results-oriented Entrepreneur. My Background: I have been a "spiritual seeker" for the last 15 or so years. I have read dozens of spiritual books, attended countless seminars, and researched many different spiritual modalities. I keep hoping that the "Answer" will be at the end of the next book I read, seminar, or spiritual event. And the results have been about the same each time - I don't feel any clearer, better, more insightful, or spiritually progressing. The Wakeup Moment: Stop the madness! What I continue to seek - I am not finding. I need help. What I keep doing is NOT WORKING. The Solution: A business colleague of mine recommended I talk to Fran about doing some energy work with me - energy work is a euphemism for clearing, healing, and realigning your mind, body, and spirit, helping to let go of all the crap you continue to carry with you that drags you down and fragments you. Fran's Spiritual Credentials: Fran is a very humble person. She would never toot her own horn, so that I will do it for her. Fran possesses a unique blend of hands-on, 3+ decades of real-world practice in energy healing, channeling/mediumship, intuition, spiritual teaching and guidance, and life coaching. Finding someone with ALL these spiritual gifts, talents, and skill sets is extremely rare. I call Fran the "Swiss Army Knife" of spiritual guidance, help, and healing. The Process: I have worked with Fran for 5+ 90-minute sessions for several months. Each session is unique and dynamic and focuses on what is most needed for me at that moment in time. (So, no generic, cookie-cutter approaches here.) I find it fascinating that Fran can immediately focus on the areas where I need the most help during each session. One week, it could be working on my fragmented Monkey Mind; the next, working through the grieving process from the passing of my parents. Next week, something entirely different can show up and must be worked through. The Point is - that Fran is highly intuitive, knows where to help you, and will give you the best outcomes possible - help you find peace, self-acceptance, your place in the world, spiritual maturation, or some other personal growth goal that blends the mind, body, and spirit connection. The Results: Talk is cheap. Results matter - and they matter a lot. Working with Fran is a team event - you must meet Fran halfway - and BE/DO your part. This involves trusting the process, being open to receiving assistance, and accepting that whatever occurs is beneficial and necessary for progress before, during, and after the sessions. What Results/Growth Have I Experienced With Fran? I started here: fragmented, pissed off, impatient, frustrated, and tired of hitting roadblocks towards my spiritual journey. I am here - right now; much healing has taken place. I feel much calmer and much less frustrated in life, have gone through the grieving process of losing both parents in less than 10 months, and overall feel more accepting of myself and where I am heading in life. (I am extremely happy with the progress Fran and I have allowed to unfold together.) My Journey Continues With Fran: As most of us life-long learners understand, this is an ongoing process and journey. The process takes as long as it takes, and you must be OK with that. I continue to work with Fran for 2-4 sessions per month. From each session to the next, I make significant progress, continue to heal, and shift my energies and mindset, allowing me to live in a much more centered and peaceful place. Final Comments About Fran: If you want better outcomes in life, and Spiritually - you need better Spiritual Guidance and Tools that truly help you. Fran is the absolute life changer you have been looking for. Stop looking. You have found what you have been searching for - real Spiritual Growth and Results. Fran is an authentic, highly compassionate, loving soul and spiritual guide / intuitive with 30+ years of hands-on experience that helps you clear the debris, uncover life-changing insights, and help propel you along your spiritual journey to heights you never thought possible. Stop searching. The answer is not within the next book or seminar! Fran provides spiritual development and guidance for healing, growth, and transformation. Please don't take my word for it.... Book your first session with Fran to gain spiritual insights and achieve personal growth not found in books, articles, or seminars. I highly recommend Fran to help you make massive breakthroughs, obtain profound insights, and guide you through the spiritual growth process. Onward and upward, Corey

The experience I had with her was so incredibly powerful, I have not stopped going since! I now look forward to my session every two weeks.

When she is done I feel light and happy and completely centered and grounded. It is magical every time. I have referred a friend who also sees Fran regularly now as well and has benefited so much from her healing hands. Thank you, Fran!

I work in the very cerebral world of contract management and just retired from a job that left me depleted. A friend of mine just started her Reiki practice. I had heard of Reiki (see first sentence), and a friend "did it on me" when I was grieving a loss about two decades ago. "That's cool. I'm open. After all, it's ancient and Japanese and involves working with one's life force energy - I'm in! Who couldn't use a life force energy tuning!" I've known Heather as a friend for a couple of years, so I was definitely comfortable with her. What I didn't anticipate was the level at which I would feel relaxed and restored. I came out of our session feeling so positive and energized and yet relaxed. She has an amazing way of setting the intention in the room and intuiting exactly what I needed. It was the perfect reset button for me. I realize that since she's a friend, that this review will be perceived as not having as much "gravitas" as if a stranger wrote it - but don't be fooled! I would probably not write any review had it just been "meh." I think overall this sums up my session (from Wikipedia): "A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being. Many have reported miraculous results." Reiki with Heather will rock your world!

I truly felt lighter at the end and Holly had mentioned certain problem areas that aligned with things I had been through (without telling her anything about my situation). This is a session you must go into with an open mind. It was so helpful for me and I hope others have the opportunity to see her. I can't wait to go back to try a massage!

The relief is real. What I appreciate most is that he also gives me practical techniques to do at home between visits which makes such a difference in my day-to-day work behind the chair. Today was my first visit with Dr. Moninder Chana for acupuncture, and we added red light therapy and cupping. She took the time to really understand my body and what I need. Her professionalism and attentiveness made me feel completely at ease. I walked out feeling supported, aligned, and deeply cared for. The front desk team was warm, accommodating, and welcoming the whole experience feels intentional and calming from the moment you walk in. Ritual is such a gift to Vallejo.

She really has a gift. I also appreciated that she was super patient with me, but knew when to give me some tough love -- wisdom sprinkled with some Kat sass and humor -- when I needed it.

We chose her initially for my wife's pregnancy to entrust someone to give her prenatal massage and Amber was the absolute best. You really want someone who knows what they're doing because of how sensitive the body is and Amber is a mom herself and knows how it feels. For me, I like deep tissue and Amber is SO GOOD at it and doesn't hurt the muscles, some deep tissue is totally off base and they go into areas and damage more than they help but Amber is right on the money. She's a healer, an extraordinary person, and we're SO excited for her new spot, we used to have her come by all the time when she had a mobile setup but now looking forward to going into her new sanctuary!!

I have been seeing her for a few years now and was pleasantly surprised this last week when I stepped into her New Spa oasis in downtown Walnut Creek. I always joke with her that she can be an interior designer. Because everything is top-notch. Don't think just because she does Swedish and lymphatic drainage that her deep tissue is weak. Her deep tissue knocks my knots right out. If you're looking for a high-quality Massage, this is the place you need to book. One of the best parts about her new location is that it includes free parking.
