Hi friends, welcome to my offerings
.
As a Holistic Wellness Coach and Spiritual Mentor, I bridge ancient and modern tools for healing, personal growth, and deeper connection.
We are all unique, and on our personal journey. My fulfillment comes from helping individuals like yourself grow, in your own way and at your own pace, in a supportive and encouraging container.
I have embraced my lifelong learnings (body, mind, breath, energy, spirit) and connection to nature to offer my unique methodology – a profound transpersonal approach which empowers my clients with lifetime tools for healing, health, personal growth and spiritual connection.
After being part of a long list (see further below) of personal growth trainings, spiritual apprenticeships and wellness institutions around the world, I founded Tuning In Wellness in 2015, which is now Fran’s Shala. Along the way, another heart-based business was birthed, Cape Cacao, which assists people with embodied healing through the spiritual heart with sacred chocolate and ceremony. From these platforms, which are built on the foundation of an authentic calling and purpose, I educate, guide, facilitate & support my clients through various practices and experiences for well-being, inner development and spiritual fitness.
I am committed to contributing to a global community of connected, kind, and loving individuals – and I believe in doing this one person at a time.
You can work with me through my various online courses and mentoring, and also in-person through workshops, ceremonies and retreats.
In my spare time I can (not) be found deep in the mountains and sea, immersed in cacao alchemy, or in my home apothecary making herbal remedies.
“Through movement, we find healing. Through stillness, we find ourselves.” – Fran Siebrits

TESTIMONIALS
Fran has a way of helping you be more patient with yourself. To look within and grow yourself to your true potential without rushing. She is also supremely practical with her tips and advice, making “tuning in” to yourself easier.
Fran and the team have built a REAL offering run by REAL people in a time when we could all do with a bit of extra wellness!
I was very nervous starting but when I met Fran I was so relaxed. She is gentle and kind, always there to help… It’s something to look forward to every week.
Fran’s holistic approach to wellness combined with her personal connection with clients, passion and creative spirit make a particular kind of magic. I love the way she helps me think about wellness in a light and practical way, and her positive, kind and fun approach.
Fran’s experience and knowledge shine through and I love that she can adapt her methods to suit clients’ abilities but at the same time pushing you to develop and grow.
Fran has a deep understanding of the human body.
