ABOUT FRANCIE

Francie La Flow (Francie Fishman)

Welcome to My Magical World, Beautiful Soul! I’m Francie, also known as Francie La FlowI am a Trauma-Informed Yoga-Integration Educator, Somatic Healing Facilitator, Sacred Sounds Musician, Vocal Awakening Coach, Heart-Centered Feminine Leadership Guide, Event Producer, and Devotee of Flow. Over the years, I have led more than 200 week-long transformational retreats and 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings, empowering individuals from all walks of life.

Back in 2016, I faced an acute trauma event that left me without a voice for over a year and a half. It was a deeply challenging time. I was already struggling with depression, and the inability to communicate my needs was devastating. I felt like a part of my soul had been silenced. I tried everything to understand why I could no longer express myself, but nothing seemed to help.

One day, a friend gently asked me, “Has anything emotional happened to you recently?” It was a lightbulb moment. In that instant, everything I’d ever learned in Yoga and my studies in psychology seemed to come together in a new and profound way – I realized the profound connection between my emotions, my nervous system, and my voice. This deep knowing made me realise that beyond just watching the clouds of mindfulness to be aware that something was there, I needed to take a deeper dive into trauma healing and the intricate relationship between our emotional well-being and our ability to express ourselves vocally.

My journey led me from the world of Yoga arts to learning from plant medicine teachers, and ultimately to long-form integrative somatic therapy and play-based expressive joy practices. I discovered the transformative power of music and ritual. Since 2012, creativity, self-love, and worthiness have been pivotal in my healing, expansion, and awakening.

Through music and singing, I accessed deep parts of myself, facilitating profound healing and transformation. This journey has been one of reclaiming my voice, embracing my authentic self, and cultivating joy. Now, I am passionate about sharing these practices with you, to help you unlock your own voice and experience the magic of vocal activation.

Pure Flow Story:

Pure Flow Yoga was born in 2016 from my passion for Yoga, Nature, and Community. For eight wonderful years, I led transformational retreats in Koh Phangan, Thailand, using my signature method. “Life-changing” was the most common review, and Pure Flow Yoga won awards two years in a row, being featured in The Guardian as one of the top retreats in the world. When COVID hit, the studio was forced to close, marking a significant turning point in my journey.

As a devoted practitioner and lifelong student, I have studied thousands of hours with master spiritual teachers worldwide and have curated, organized, and led more than 200 transformational Yoga retreats, teacher trainings, workshops, and programs with over 1,000 students from all walks of life.

Let’s Flow Together:

Using a blend of sacred wisdom teachings from Yoga, Flow Psychology, Personal Growth & Wellness Coaching, and Sacred Sounds Music, I empower others to live joyful, balanced, and fulfilled lives. I believe self-compassion, self-love, and self-care are crucial to achieving this. I help others tap into their creativity, trust their intuition, and feel worthy of all the blessings life has to offer.

Through my 1-on-1 Mentoring & Coaching, Retreats, and Virtual Community, I guide others to connect with their deepest selves and find their soul purpose. My unique and powerful framework for flow meets each individual where they are, helping them rise up and live their potential, creating abundant, meaningful, and fulfilling lives of purpose and service.

In addition to yoga and vocal coaching, I am also a musician sharing concerts, sound healing, and vocal liberation workshops and immersions. Music and ritual have played an integral role in my personal and professional journey. They have been powerful tools for accessing deeper emotional and spiritual states of devotion and celebration.

Are you ready to join me on a journey to discover your true nature, activate your voice, and unlock your full potential? Let’s flow together and create a life filled with joy, connection, and authentic expression.

With love and gratitude
Francie

My Mission:

I am here to help you flourish and flow, whether you’re a curious yogi, an aspiring singer, or someone looking to elevate your wellness or conscious business. My mission is to provide a safe and sacred space for you to overcome your blocks and find alignment, resonance, and flow.

My Philosophy

Your voice is one of the most powerful tools you have for creating positive change in the world. Now more than ever, we need to awaken and activate our voices to heal, connect spiritually, and live in harmony with ourselves and nature. Through Embodied Flow & Movement, Vocal Awakening & Healing, somatic trauma integration and nervous system repair work, and Heart-Centered Feminine Leadership, we can unlock the full potential of your voice and help you make a meaningful impact. Your voice is a sacred instrument that can amplify your inner vibration and inspire others to do the same.

What is Flow?

Flow is one of the highest states to cultivate. It is a state of being where you are fully immersed and engaged in the present moment, experiencing a sense of effortless ease and enjoyment. To achieve a high-flow lifestyle, we need to cultivate and “stack” many different lifestyle practices. This informs my unique approach, combining the ancient wisdom of Yoga, the transformative power of music, and the latest insights from somatic therapy and positive psychology.

My Approach:

My approach integrates Embodied Flow & Movement, Vocal Awakening & Healing, somatic trauma integration, nervous system repair work, and Heart-Centered Feminine Leadership. I believe in cultivating a high-flow lifestyle through a blend of sacred and ancient wisdom teachings of Yoga, Flow Psychology, Personal Growth & Wellness Coaching, and Sacred Sounds Music. I empower others to live joyful, balanced, and fulfilled lives, helping them tap into their creativity, trust their intuition, and feel worthy of all the blessings life has to offer.
