About Me

I believe you have what it takes to build, grow, and nurture beautiful, conscious relationships—you only need to have faith in yourself that such is possible.

Because of the beliefs we formed early in childhood and continue to generate evidence from, we settle for less than what we deserve and lose ourselves in the process.

The good news is that it doesn’t always have to be that way.

Hi, I’m Frances! I’m a certified transformational coach, facilitator, and writer.

My work is focused on helping highly driven women, particularly those with codependent and perfectionist traits, learn to generate inner safety and embody self-love so they can have genuine and conscious connections with others and life.

As a first-generation Filipina immigrant, I understand the complexities of navigating dual cultures and being driven and ambitious.

When I moved to the US, I thought I would easily integrate, but that wasn’t the case. Not only did I have a hard time adjusting at work, but I was also in an unhealthy and stressful relationship that eventually didn’t last. Added to that, I had familial obligations I needed to keep. I was in complete survival mode, and the cycle of toxic relationship patterns kept showing up in my life.

Despite that, I didn’t give up on myself and in love.

Over the years, I studied and trained with brilliant, wise mentors and teachers who taught me to love myself first and own my worth. I realized my codependency and people-pleasing tendencies are keeping me stuck, so I committed to overcoming it and trusting myself and my decisions.

Instead of seeing my past relationships as failures, I consider them my life PhD. It’s where my sacred wounds lie, and I found my power from these wounds.

I learned new skills and practices in different modalities and added these tools to my life toolkit.

Now, I want to pay it forward through this work.

My mission is to help you break free from your disempowering old stories and become unstoppable in love and life.

The tools I share will help you to self-regulate, love yourself more, develop more compassion for yourself and others, and thrive in secure and stable relationships with yourself, your partner, family members, colleagues, and more.

As a guide, I’m here to remind you that you’re already worthy, enough, and loved. Through this work, allow me to lead you back to the truth of who you are.

So, whether you’re looking to love yourself more, be empowered, recover from codependency, or have a peaceful, anxiety-free life, I can help.

We are social beings; we learn the most about ourselves through relationships. When we feel truly connected, whether in romantic, familial, friendship, or work relationships, we are happier and more secure. Because these needs are met, we have more capacity to do meaningful work.

My Approach

With over 15 years of personal and professional development experience, I integrate mindfulness, positive psychology, contemplative and mind-body wisdom, and feminine power principles into all my programs.

My coaching style is ontological and transformational in nature.
