Work With Willow Francis 1-on-1
Are you struggling to develop a healthy relationship with your mind and emotions?
My mission is to support you to genuinely enjoy your life, feel liberated and live in alignment with your deeper values.Walking Your Truth, Every Day
Welcome, I am glad you have found me.
Over time, I identified a challenge for those wanting to live a more conscious or spiritually oriented life: A gap between what people knew to be true on a deeper level and how they were actually able to show up on a day-to-day basis.
I support people to close that gap.
I imagine you have a deep desire to be kind, live without judging, be patient, less reactive, and liberated!
In reality, however, you may be experiencing a lot of the opposite: getting irritated with those you love, overwhelmed and rushed as you navigate responsibilities, and pushed around by the obligations and unhealthy agendas of family and society.
That is where I come in. I have three decades of experience supporting hundreds of individuals in bringing spiritual knowledge into practical daily living.
6-Session Blocks
I have put all that I share to the test time and time again, for myself and those from all walks of life—through times of little and times of plenty; times of glory and times of deep suffering; times of opportunity and times of loss.
I am here to walk with you for a time and support you in living more of who you already know yourself to be deep down.
I meet you in the real, where the rubber meets the road.
We will reduce your daily suffering and build your emotional and spiritual stamina together.
This is for you if you are ready to change and do some inner work to evolve.
This isn’t for you if you are just wanting to talk purely for info-tainment; I have a no-excuses policy when we work together. We both commit to the journey earnestly and wholeheartedly.
Ready to get underway? I hope so. First step? Book a free 30-minute consultation with me.
Big love, Willow
I first started sessions with Willow because I was struggling with my teenage son. I was losing my patience daily and turning into a crazy women. It was causing not only emotional pain but physical pain in my gut and inflammation in my body. I started doing the training with Willow and really committed to the exercises he’d given me. I took on all the wonderful advise and within a week my life got a little easier. Problems I thought I had, started magically to dissolve. Willow just gets life, he knows how to do it really well! He gives you little bite size chunks of goodness to integrate into your daily rhythm so you don’t get overwhelmed. It’s just enough that you can manage and just enough to stretch you so you grow and expand. And next thing you know, little things you used to worry about, don’t bother you anymore and you’re having the best nights sleep you’ve had in years and getting all your energy back and feeling amazing! Sooo much gratitude to this man. Heart to heart, thank you Willow. I highly recommend doing this with Willow, quite simply it will change your life. – Sam Lycett
A bit about me
I am what you could call a “reverently irreverent.” life coach. I have a deep passion for living a generous, fully engaged, and discerning life. I have stayed committed to the magic, goodness, and potentiality of life and humanity through the darkest of times (and there have been many!) and the most joyful of times (and there have been many!).
My soul journey has been one of liberation. Always looking behind the metaphorical curtain, laughing at what I find, and wanting to share the joke with everyone!
I have a good basis in anatomy and practical care (nursing and paramedics for 2 decades), as well as full immersion into meditation, mindfulness, and healing modalities within the more holistic and wisdom traditions (3 decades of experience).
I use a variety of tools, processes, and practices, but I do ground much of the foundation of the program in the incredible work from the HeartMath Institute.
I want to share it all with you so you can live joyfully, generously, and free!
Who I've Worked With
I work with both individuals and organisations, from the employee level right up to management and leadership.
How does it work?
Once we’ve had our complimentary session and decided to work together, we’ll schedule an initial block of six sessions—ideally on the same day and time each week to maintain consistency, momentum, and accountability.
The first session is 1.5 hours, and after that, each session is one hour. Each week, you’ll receive worksheets, recordings, and exercises (not too many!) to help you integrate what we cover into your daily life.
Our first session
In our first session, we’ll establish the foundations, including measuring your Heart Rate Variability (HRV) with biofeedback. HRV is a powerful objective measure of how your nervous system is functioning. Our initial focus is to down-regulate your nervous system, using simple yet powerful, evidence-based tools from the HeartMath Institute. These will help bring your parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems into a more balanced, “coherent” state. As this balance improves, you’ll be able to better manage reactivity, modulate your daily pace, and make deliberate choices about when you say “yes” and “no.” You’ll also begin to experience more aligned emotions like gratitude, self-kindness, and calm.
With a more balanced daily baseline, we can then work on gently shifting your emotional reactivity set point—those habitual patterns that pull you away from living in alignment with your deeper core values. As you move through your days in a more coherent way, your neocortex becomes more accessible. This part of the brain governs executive functioning, giving you greater choice in how you respond to life’s challenges.
Building new patterns
Over time, you’ll experience fewer fight/flight/freeze reactions. With your nervous system more settled, we’ll explore new perspectives on your current challenges. We’ll identify limiting worldviews, constrictive attitudes, and old patterns that keep you feeling fearful or stuck. From this more expansive point of view, you’ll have the chance to “zoom out” and see your life from a fresh vantage point.
Then comes the fun part—building new patterns and habits that foster gratefulness, freedom, and inspiration!
What a great journey to share with you!
What is the cost of the program?
The total for the 6 week program is $990 (including GST). This includes the 6 weeks of sessions, MP3 recordings, worksheets and access to dialogue with me personally via email throughout the entire program.
Ideally, we get the money stuff out the way before we begin. If you do need to have a payment plan in place though, I can do that too.
At the beginning of my training with Willow, I was without doubt, at the most difficult time of my life I have ever encountered. After the the training with Willow, and embracing his knowledge and the invaluable tools he shared with me, my life is forever changed in the best possible way. My situation in life has not changed, however my approach to it, and massive gain internally in my level of gratitude, acceptance and calm are nothing short of a miracle. The positivity of this growth visibly radiates to those who know me, who say they have never seen me happier, or more at ease. I cannot thank you enough Willow. – Sandra Kerr
Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, not much more than 30 mins per day.
Most of what we do is integrated throughout the structures and routines you already have in place in your day.
Having said that, the work we do does require earnest commitment as we will be coming up to sometimes engrained patterns of response, resistence and engrained beliefs or attitudes.
I have what I call a “no excuse” policy for the weekly focus as it is all about prioritising for your success. Each positive shift will be celebrated together.
Yes, we book your full 7 weekly sessions in at the beginning. Consistency is key and having too many long gaps between sessions breaks the momentum.
If we do need to reschedule though at times throughout the training, that is ok too.
The first session is 1.5 hours and then the following 6 sessions are 1 hour.
I like to have the 30 minute free session with you before booking you into the full training with me so we can make sure we are all on the same page and have a good rapport together.
This can be in person, via phone or Zoom. Once on board, there is not generally a long wait to start the training.
I do prefer in person if we can, but if not, we can use Zoom, or even the phone.
Or we can have some sessions in person, and some via Zoom if that works better for you.
“Before completing the training with Willow, I was struggling to reconcile the stresses of modern female life. I often felt like I could never get on top of things. Living a balanced life seemed like an elusive dream. I was carrying a lot of stress and anxiety which lead to constant exhaustion and irritability – which was no fun for anyone, least of all myself. The course gave me the tools I needed to access my inherent wisdom and achieve the balance which had been alluding me. Willow provided a gentle and supportive space to learn, where the subtleties of the tools were explored and understood. The tools he teaches are simple yet powerful. Whilst I still have all the same apparent stressors, my perceptions have shifted to allow me to move through my days with ease, accessing authentic feelings of love and gratitude and joy for life. My inner security has grown knowing I have the tools to manage the challenges of life. Thank you Willow!” – Zen Bowring
