"Throughout my childhood and as I got older, I always knew and felt there is something much greater than only what we can see. Other people told me what I said I saw and knew was not so. Although I began to doubt myself, I continued to know what I could not explain was true. Then I was blessed by meeting Fran Russo. Just like that, EVERYTHING made sense. My entire life made sense to me in one second. I have been a student of Fran's since 2001. I have completed the Medicine Wheel, had weekly private sessions, attended many workshops and healing circles. After completing the Medicine Wheel, I am continuing to grow, in my journey, as an apprentice."

"Going through the Medicine Wheel has felt like a lifting of the clouds of shadow, doubt and fear to create a deeper clarity and a better understanding of why and how my life is shaped the way it is. People that know me have commented on the changes they have seen in me, although sutble in appearance they shine through. Going through the wheel has given me an openness that has helped me to see the energetic lines of my life and to implement lasting change by going deep into the subtle places to bring forth the changes from the inside out, instead of struggling to change the outside and expecting the inside to follow suit."

"Fran Russo initiates her students into Life, without a middleman or delays. Fran has the ability to See the many boulders you have been carrying on your back; the weight of shadows you have been lifting for lifetimes that remain unseen to you. She lifts the top most boulder on your back and asks you without any attachment to your answer: Take a look at this one, lets work it, are you willing to let this go? It is your choice. When the responsibility is taken to transform each Shadow into Light one can take flight with the same estatic freedom of a condor. In this way the work has been tangible, concrete, and unquestionable in my journey. Where once I thought all the weight I was carrying was a matter of fact, Fran showed me how to transmute it instantaneously so that I can do the same independently for myself and others."

"I went through the experience of the Medicine Wheel. Its teachings and experiences gave me a firm foundation of which has helped me in my healing practice today. To not be in ego, yet owning your power is a tricky, but extremely powerful and important lesson for healers. During my time in this process, I had what was one of my most powerful and very real spiritual experiences to date, the night Jaguar came to me. Not only did I discover my connection to the God in all things through this work, but also how to listen, and observe for the Universe's subtle messages that teach and guide us all, every day. It's there if you know how to hear, see and feel it, and this is just one of the lessons I learned through the Medicine Wheel. Working with our Mother Earth, the animals and the seen and unseen is so important at this time on our planet, and it yields the most incredible lessons you will ever learn about you, others and the world around you. It was one of the most important things I ever did for myself and my development as a healer."

"The journey of the Medicine Wheel, begins with one step. Showing up. About 2 years ago I made a commitment to myself to show up. That is one I will be ever grateful for throughout my life. Working in the Wheel has truly helped me to see where I had long hidden behind my stories, my roles and imaginings of who and what I am "supposed to be". I have come to know that there is real joy in life and and true interconnectedness between all beings. We are blessed being of light. I have chosen to continue my work in the wheel in service to others, as an apprentice, as I feel this journey of rememberance, release and self-discovery is one that all of us should take. It is my honor to be in service to the Sacred Ones that guide us and in this way, find my true path to life. All you have to do to find yourself is chose to show up."

"I began having sessions with Fran before going through the Medicine Wheel. I continued with private sessions on a regular basis while journeying the Medicine Wheel as well as after it. The sessions really helped to incorporate what I learned at each direction into my daily life. Sessions with Fran are a valuable tool for growing in many ways in all parts of one's life. They showed me that I can always make another choice. Every session inspired me to do what I need to do to serve The Light and let my soul grow."

"I have been to Fran for energy healing and medicine wheel workshops. Prior to my visit to Fran, I have been to many healers. What impresses me about Fran is her incredible healing power, profound wisdom of her teaching as well as her impeccable integrity. Her medicine wheel workshop is very powerful. It takes you to places and people beyond your imagination. You gain insights into your self and life and your life is transformed after the workshop. I highly recommend Fran to anyone who is in the journey of self-discovery and healing."

"The Medicine Wheel was a huge life-changing experience. The South is where I was able to open my eyes again! At the West, I learned so many things and let go of so much negativity. I was so filled with joy, as though I was on a beautiful high mountain in the springtime. The North is where I was able to stop living through roles just to gain love from others. I, for the first time in my life, became able to love myself and enjoy being me. The East brought everything together. I now have heightened faith that I am never alone and our creator is always with us. After the East, I am finally able to have a happy relationship with my family, which is such a blessing."
