Today we’d like to introduce you to Francoise Dassier.
Hi Francoise, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
Thank you, Camila! It’s an honor to share my story.
When I was a little girl I knew I always felt a bit different. My mom is from Minnesota. She met my dad abroad in France. He had moved there from Syria. They fell in love there and between their trips around the world, they had me and my sister.
When we came here I was four and French was my first language. For obvious reasons, I felt a little bit like an outsider when I first came. It didn’t take long for me to realize it was more than just not being from this place. I definitely saw and felt things differently than my friends.
I became aware of very early of my spirit guides. I called them my smarter me. They seem to have so much insight into what was going on all around me. How people were feeling gave me warnings when there was stress. Helping me through many little childhood injuries.
Perhaps it was not knowing the language fully that helped spur my gifts into action. Looking at people’s faces.
Understanding how people felt seemed to be what I always was tuned into. Whether it was teachers, students, or my parents when I was paying attention to that intuition I didn’t have to go into fight, flight, or freeze mode when people would go into big feelings around me. It was really hard on my system when that happened and I began to do it as preventative medicine for my own little body.
The transition to the United States was very difficult for my dad. My house was really tumultuous. To this day the trauma we all went through, I know, in part, activated my sister and my own gifts on a deep level. Our guides come to our aid when we need it. And if we listen if we cultivate it, they can truly help us navigate through some of the toughest situations. I honestly didn’t feel like I had a choice but to trust this. They were my allies. They were my smarter me and they help me whenever I listened.
I kept trusting this. I kept listening to them. Sometimes it was feeling in my body that I would just react to and react in the best way for me. Sometimes I would hear a few words a phrase. Their guidance seemed to come through multiple senses. I thought to myself if I can receive all these messages? I’m sure that everybody is receiving all these messages. I’m sure that we all have spirit guides. I became very positive. So why didn’t everybody hear them? Why didn’t everybody follow them? Why did most people not believe in them at all?
Flash forward to the future where I learn tarot cards at 16 and begin doing readings for my friends. Just about any given evening or after school you could find me at my neighborhood copy shop doing tarot readings. The feedback I got was incredible. I was surprised by it! I honestly thought it was deductive reasoning. I felt like Sherlock Holmes. I just knew stuff people didn’t. The thing is it’s great giving people information and all but it didn’t take away their sadness. Their desperation is their lack of direction. It felt a bit empty. I knew there was something missing.
Then after experiencing more trauma in my teens unfortunately most common but difficult occurrence. It was necessary to go deeper. I started journeying and meditating to really connect with my spirit guides. They helped me heal through one of the toughest experiences of my entire life. From this point I started connecting to Crystals, using meditation drumming to connect with them and have them help me with every aspect of life.
Flash forward once again to 2010. I remembered doing tarot readings in my teens was awesome but there was also an emptiness to it. People needed help. I could see the sadness on people’s faces since I was a little girl. One of my secret missions was to give as many compliments authentic compliments as I could because honestly When I was around a group of people, especially adults. The sadness or frustration always seems palpable.
To me, this sadness was a deep deep problem. It wasn’t just sadness though it was this inability to deal with emotions inability to process emotions and therefore constantly not being happy which seemed like to me. So I wanted to go to the root and study traditional medicines, Chinese medicine, ayurvedic, and a new class called energy medicine with Donna Eden. That is the year I learned on a deeper level. How to test and clear are major energy centers. The chakras and a healer were born. I knew I had found what I was meant to do finally!!!
From there I studied as many modalities as I could and received as much training as I could. My goal from day one is to be the most heart-centered loving healer who could also connect to Spirit guides, and give you messages from spirit and my mission was to give them in the most helpful way. The truth is we are more powerful than we think we are. what we think and how we feel really influences how we feel physically. So to me, it was really important to help people connect to their own spirit guides as well as release stuck energy so that they could feel help even after they got off the table so they could reconnect to their own divine helpers for a happier easier every day life.
In 2012 energy works. Healers was born. My sister and I started by doing a chakra clinic by donation at present moment in Minneapolis and we were flooded with people. It was amazing. The feedback we got was incredible. Nadine and I knew we were onto something when people released energy. It’s easier for their own healing abilities to come into being. When we release stuck emotions, stuck thoughts even stuck experiences in our body, it frees us to have more clarity and feel more in balance.
From there, beginning to read past lives in people’s systems beginning to see ancestor guides or people’s beautiful loved ones who had died. Come forward to give comfort during healing. All of these amazing profound visions began to just flow with great ease over time and practice. I could feel the amplification of all of my gifts.
We continue to do one-on-one healing sessions and teach healing training to healers. We need as many healers on this planet as possible. We also train people to channel and connect to the divine their spirit guides. We honor all faiths and consider ourselves more spiritual. We’re open to all of the divine helpers. And across the board, every single beautiful human who has come to connect with their guides leaves more empowered than when they came in.
And for that, I am infinitely grateful to be doing work that I love. Seeing people release suffering is one of the greatest joys. I say I have the two best jobs. I’m a mom and a healer.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
One of the biggest obstacles is false perceptions of energy healing. It is nowhere near as bad now as when we started.
We also knew elder, energy healers who were burnt out, unhappy, or had a chronic illness.
We thought not only do we have to advertise and figure out how to build a clientele, but we also have to get past the stigma of energy healing and people’s false understandings, like that It was either too religious or sacrilegious.
And then the healer burnout is real. When people take on too much negative energy, they get overwhelmed and burnt out. This helped us turn powerfully to the healing practices that we had learned and to the most amazing results in our lives, really. After we do healings we always give people follow-up stuff they can do on their own to continue the healing process and the reason we can do that is that we have used the tools for ourselves and still do every day.
We knew from the beginning that once somebody tried this they would love it and over time get to do different events. We got better and better at one explaining what we were doing but also sitting with the energy that people would resonate with what we were doing. People who needed us would find us and that continues to be the best draw to our company and to us as healers that we have had the chance to sit with the energy of faith that what we’re doing is needed. How to deal with big emotions is usually only taught when people are in crisis.
That was the other really big challenge. That people, especially in this country are taught not to express emotions that it’s a weakness. That we shouldn’t let experiences get us down so we tend to not really process our emotions and that’s why they get stuck in us. And that’s in part why we end up going overwhelmed and not being able to think clearly.
Amazingly, this challenge has evolved as more science is telling us our emotions really have a very real and direct connection to physical health!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Honestly, I love what I do so much. I am so proud of all the testimonials. All of the smiles, all of the hugs. The support the word of mouth recommendations continue to be the main way that we intake new clients the New beautiful humans that we serve. I also am lucky enough to work out of Present Moment in Minneapolis, one of the oldest herb stores in the twin cities that has bulk herbs, essential oils, and lots of other healing tools.
I specialize in releasing negative energies and entities, releasing stuck energy, and releasing stress. Stuck emotions stuck.
Thoughts Stuck experiences in our bodies. I would say our number one feedback when someone gets up off the table is I feel lighter!
One of the things I am known for especially is past life readings and past life regression. And not only random past life reading but connecting it to this lifetime and What pattern is being addressed or the pattern that you may be struggling with the most finding the root cause to release and transform the pattern resulting in your body’s ability to react differently to the stress. True healing is not negating the dense energy we have on the third dimension. It is the ability to move through it with greater ease than ever before. To be able to come back to a place of joy after immense pain is miraculous really nothing short of miraculous that’s how it feels in our bodies.
Each session is different. It’s almost like a symphony bringing different instruments in for different sounds and emotions. Sometimes we literally use the sound of our own voices clapping instruments. Sometimes we just quietly work different points on the body.
Another amazing thing is seeing people release pain, long-term pain. Transforming from releasing some of the emotional cause. Seeing people release major illnesses. We’ve seen people come back from stage four cancer working in conjunction with Western medicine. Adding energy medicine helps people get through chemotherapy helps people release some of the stuck energy at the base of all diseases. I would never say we healed a disease yet. We certainly assist in releasing the stress that any disease causes on the body which makes it easier for your own body to heal.
The other major thing we are known for is training healers and helping people connect to their psychic senses. Many healers who have had some training from us have gone on to start their own businesses here in the twin cities and around the country. We primarily teach angelic Reiki, as well as other forms of reiki We have taught chakra classes, and energy protection classes for everyone, not just healers. We also created what we feel is a groundbreaking channeling class that includes information as well as experiences such as regressions and healings to help Open your senses to hearing your guides or intuiting them and feeling them.
However, your body takes it in best. Helping people connect to their spirit guides to hear messages from them is so rewarding. It’s like seeing people find their own superpowers! The awesome thing is our guides are always trying to contact us so it’s when we tune in we are able to receive. To me, teaching is empowerment. We have an element of empowerment in all of our sessions. We love to give people the tools that they can use in their everyday life for the most joyful everyday experience. That’s the goal here on the third dimension we are going to experience challenges again. It’s that ability to get through them and not stay stuck. That is the beauty of releasing energy.
I really still love scheduling directly so you can text me directly to do a healing. My number is 612-229-5586 or email me at [email protected] or [email protected].
Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
Whether you are already a healer or you really want to be a healer, the number one thing I advise is training and practice. When I first began I was like I know my spirit guides. I’m already good at this. And I was good at it. But I wasn’t amazing at it. Now I can say with confidence. I’m amazing at what I do. The truth is no matter how good we are at something. The more we do it the better we get, and the more we learn. The body is so complex and amazing. There’s always so much to learn. So is the brain all of these things interconnected and the more you get a chance to really work in the energy the easier it is to release. Not only from the beautiful human you serve but from yourself as the healer to do self-care.
What is Really cool is that we have now both right and left brain ways to connect to energy healing in the body through Eden energy medicine through Chinese medicine. There are literal points that when you hold them in the body you release pain and it feels like a complete miracle when really it’s just understanding the body. I mean it always is a miracle when we are finally pain-free.
Then there are the spiritual path learning ceremonies learning different modalities of shamanism crosses continents.
There are native shamans. There are Eastern European shamans. There are shamans from the Netherlands in Norway. There are shamans from all over the world. It’s truly a way of living as well as a way of healing and a spiritual path. For some religions and connecting to the ascended masters of their specific religion is a joyful way to channel healing energy.
For me, I was called to study many different forms of healing because everyone’s different. Every individual needs different things and it’s fun and effective to have as many tools in your toolkit as possible.
As far as financial advice truly begins, investing the least amount possible. Don’t go out and rent a storefront in a mall. It is incredibly expensive. Do things on the cheap until you have some established clients. It saves you from heartbreak and you already begin feeling like a success.
Now more than ever in just about every major city, there are many many metaphysical or massage therapy salons that offer Reiki and many other forms of healing. Follow your own path just because everyone you know learns to teach yoga doesn’t mean you have to.
Yoga is amazing, but do you have to spend the $4000 or whatever to do it to be a great healer, no! I love doing yoga for self-care as well as Qi Gung and many other modalities. Just because everyone you know says you have to eat a certain way or be vegan to be a healer does not mean you have to! follow what is right for your body. Tuning into the body is special. We are all unique and we learn every time we begin to understand ourselves a bit better.
