YACEP Educator

Yoga Health Coach, Francoise “Franny” Long is a classically trained chef, as well as a certified Holisitc Nutrition and Health Coach, as well as a Certified E-200/500 RYT Yoga instructor, and Certified Children's Yoga Teacher (CYT), Certified Breathing Coach, Certified Pilates Instructor, and an enthusiastic wellness advocate.

A bit about Franny's story:

Her focus on complete wellness, body, mind and spirit was reframed after a breast cancer diagnosis in 2016. After years working in commercial kitchens and running hundreds of miles training for marathons, she realized that food and exercise are not the only pillars of optimal health.

Francoise took a deep dive in search of the root causes of dis-ease in the body and mind. Incorporating yoga, meditation and honing in on true nutrition she continues to offer guidance and encouragement to everyone she encounters.

Francoise is so grateful to join forces with the wellness team at Pointe of Grace and Brilliantly You to provide tangible, realistic and simple tools for vibrant health.

As a wife, mother of two, and lover of life, Franny is so excited to cheer YOU on in remembering and rekindling your brilliant inner light.
