Introduction: Hi there! Writing these things is always difficult but at least this one is easier than writing a Tinder profile : p I've been in the health and wellness industry for over a decade and just can't seem to get away. I completed my Bachelor in Science in Biology and Master of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Texas. I started from knowledge of 0/nill/zilch/zero about nutrition and training to starting to train clients and competing in physique contests .. then consequently went through a long (long) mental and physical recovery from the extremity of that type of competing. Over the years, I've researched, read, listened, tried, tried and failed all sorts of methods and approaches to health and wellness and finally landed somewhere in the middle with a balanced, whole foods diet and challenging workouts with room for recovery. Everyone deserves the opportunity to understand and experience what their optimal health feels like and that's going to look different for everyone depending on their place in life, time availability, budget, travel schedule, capabilities, etc. We'll work together to find your starting point, dream up the best, happiest version of yourself and get you there in a sustainable, achievable way that's going to take some work and commitment but won't leave you depleted and weary.

I discovered Frances on bodybuilding.com when I found her transformation of the week article.I literally followed her exact workout and diet and got amazing results after 3 months. I took to the stage and competed in my first figure competition,and won! At my second competition 2 months later, it was a glorious surprise to surprisingly meet Frances! After telling her of my months of stalking her online as well as the incredible results I recieved from following her online, we quickly hit it off! I hired Frances to help me with my next competition as I wanted to go in fuller and more lean. We consulted online and had weekly skype sessions, tweaking my diet and workouts accordingly. Her biologyl background was clearly evident, as her understanding of human anatomy, food composition, and body mechanics was demonstrated strongly in each of our conversations yet she conveyed it in laymen's terms. She incorporated a High low workout and diet regiment for me to follow.I watched my body change like a science experiment daily! I can not say how much I highly recommend Ms Smith! Her resume ,background and results speaks volumes!

Frances helped me learn Olympic lifting in a comfortable, non-competitive setting with other female friends where we focused on good technique and trying to commit the pattern to habit. Her deep knowledge of the subject kept me mentally engaged and motivated. I'd definitely recommend her to friends.

Frances is very dedicated to helping others achieve their unique goals in a way that suits their interests and lifestyle. She can tune exercises to fit the weaklings like me or for those who compete professionally. And she is so knowledgeable about nutrition and can come up with such delicious meals!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Your success is my goal. In order to achieve something you've never done before, it takes a commitment and investment in yourself. You're capable of anything you choose to do! Therefore, I ask for your commitment to the program that will help you get there with either: 10 session packs for in-person training 3 month commitment for online nutrition coaching Payments can be arranged according to your budget and needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes! I have my Bachelor's in Biology and Masters in Kinesiology, both from the University of Texas at Austin. Currently, I am applying for Ph.D programs in Psychology. I am always reading books in our field and beyond. Right now, I'm between Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules of Life - An Antidote to Chaos and Kurt Vonnegut's Hocus Pocus. One thoughtful, one fun :)
How did you get started doing this type of work?
In 2008, I lived in Japan and didn't really have a whole lot to do. One of the other Americans liked to work out so I started going to the gym too. I couldn't even do one push-up... I started off with trying to do P90X but I couldn't do it! I got really into it and just kind of ran with it. When I returned from Japan to the U.S., I started working at a chiropractor doing massage and ART work. When I was talking to the women, I was hearing the story over and over that they were scared to go to the gym because they didn't know how to use the equipment. So I started a program called Halcyon Fitness. Halcyon means "to be in an idyllic state"; I wanted to teach women how to create a happy place at the gym, rather than a scary one. And so it began!
