Welcome to my new blog. My name is Frances Vincen-Brown and I am a licensed esthetician, herbal health specialist, and a Karuna Reiki master. I am also, as my family so lovingly refers to, a research geek. I am obsessive about health and wellness and all things that pertain to it. Those are the topics I will be writing about. Holistic health through body, mind, and spirit. Spring is starting to make an appearanceand with it we begin to feel the need to clear out the clutter that has piled up from the long winter months. |
