About Fran
After suffering near-fatal injuries from her biological mother as a baby, Fran entered foster care and was later adopted transracially. During her teenage years, Fran accidentally discovered, in what was a high-profile case, that her biological mother murdered her sibling who had returned to her care.
Finding this information left Fran with issues that continued to impact her daily life. Conventional approaches to what were trauma responses only exacerbated her struggles, and searching for answers opened Pandora's box. Fran continued to face further complexities as an adult, including years of narcissistic abuse.
Driven by the persistent feeling that there was a reason for all of this, Fran spent years searching for different ways of understanding trauma and healing, not just for herself but for others also.
When Fran discovered Havening and its underlying neuroscience, she realised that many of the consequences of traumatisation can gently be removed or alleviated.

Fran is passionate about creating opportunities for creativity and collaboration, aiming to spark curiosity about Havening among broader audiences.
