Fran Bell’s Testimonials:
“Fran is a "Fitness Coach," yet oh so more than that. She works
with your nervous system to get the whole body talking again through movement
and awareness. I'm not sure how to describe what she does exactly – she
makes a profound impact on the body. I just got out of a session with
her and I am more stable/connected/solid from an energy/movement/posture
perspective.”

“Almost two years ago, my psychiatrist suggested I contact Fran Bell and
gave me her card. She said that Fran had helped her to play tennis again,
something she thought she could never do. She explained that Fran addressed
the mind and the body. Well, I thought the whole thing was a little too
New Age for me and I never made the call.
Six months ago, my doc said that she thought I’d be better off spending
my money on Fran and not on her. I still didn’t think it would make much
difference. I believed my orthopedist, my cane and my mobility scooter,
but I made the call, anyway. I’m glad I did.
Fran totally understands the connection between mind and body and she
is helping me to see my own connections. I didn’t even know how afraid
I was when Fran identified a number of “defensive” postures and movements
I have developed over the years to avoid injury and pain. In fact, these
behaviors were aggravating my existing limitations and creating new ones.
She was able to model them for me so I could really “get it.” I won’t
kid you. It hasn’t been easy. They’re pretty ingrained in my mind and
in my body. But, most of the time I’m able to move with more stability
and confidence.
Fran works me hard and I go home very tired but I have never been hurt,
or even sore. She is able to recognize my capabilities and not push me
beyond them. She is non-judgmental, honorable, knowledgeable, and supportive.
I have come so far since I made that call. My cane spends most of its
time in my car, now. I was able to climb the stairs to my son’s second
floor condo to meet my first grandchild. For the first time in more than
ten years, I have hope. Fran, I truly couldn’t have done it without you.
Thank you.”

“When I first worked with Fran, I was skeptical - I'd been active for
years, even worked as a trainer myself. I felt there was no way she could
give me anything new. What could she show me that would be so different?
Wow - was I crazy! From the first few moments, when she showed me how
I moved by modeling it herself (I'd never seen that before), what was
blocked, what needed to be strengthen, what needed to be stretched, etc.,
I realized she knew the body in a way I had never knew existed. As I put
into place the pieces Fran gave me, I saw amazing changes.
My posture and breathing improved immediately, my knees and back felt
better than they had in years, I was walking differently than I ever had,
and I started losing weight almost effortlessly. My whole body became
realigned. I found I had a whole new level of body awareness, and I haven't
felt this agile in ten years.
Looking back at my doubts, I see that I was crazy - because I had no idea
what Fran was capable of. And you'd be crazy to miss the chance to learn
from her. She tops the charts in my book. Thanks, Fran.”

“I came to Fran after an ankle injury. I was scared and totally not able
to walk. Living alone at the time, I was worried about how to care for
myself and how long it would take to heal. Fran helped ease my concerns
with practical, useful information and exercises that helped my ankle
to heal much more quickly. Her loving, nurturing, and affirming approach
helped me relax, trust, and become an active participant in my healing.
She has knowledge, heart, and an innate ability to communicate with the
body and person, a catalyst for healing in a beautiful, holistic way.”

“My experience working with Fran was very powerful. I consulted with her
because I am a runner and was beginning to have some knee pain. Using
her intuitive ability and her vast knowledge and experience she began
to asses what was causing my difficulty. As a healer myself, I could feel
her in the physical body diagnosing the problem but simultaneously she
was moving the energetics of the physical problem and opening the emotions
at the core of the energetic patterns that were causing the physical problem
and beginning the process of releasing them. She then assessed my running
style and corrected bad habits that I had developed as a result of the
subtle issues, and that also were compounding the problem. She then gave
me different exercises to do that would help to undo the bad physical
habits and build strength and the right muscles to support correct movement
and functioning.
She really did address all levels of the problem from the physical to
the energetic to the emotional. Her knowledge of the body, movement, fitness,
energetics and emotions felt very all encompassing which helped me to
deeply trust what she gave. I followed everything she gave me and the
problem had lessened in a week and was completely gone in three months.
It is now two years later and it has not returned.”

“It is rare to find someone highly skilled in fitness coaching that can
also address emotional issues that arise while our attention seems to
be on our bodies. I have experienced profound spiritual and emotional
healing sessions during my training work with Fran, as well as gaining
an understanding of what my body needs to grow in strength and flexibility.
Fran really provides a safe an supportive environment to reach physical
goals, while recognizing underlying conditions that either support or
hinder that process. Her skills are awesome, her intuition is right on
target, and her dedication is undeniable.”
