Mary Frances Barbisan, RMT, RN

Mary Frances was born the first in her family, followed closely by 3 brothers. She became a natural leader and care giver. Whether climbing the backyard apple tree, or laying in the tall grass in the field beyond the family home, she learned from an early age the experience of deep relaxation through contact with nature and essentially the beginnings of contact with the true nature of herself.
Becoming a Registered Nurse at the age of 21, Mary Frances began to experience new and different realities of life. The ravages of the stressful lifestyle on her clients was revealed, along with her desire and understanding that creating a balance in life was essential to the well being of herself and of her clients.
A series of coincidences granted her the experience of hands on healing called Reiki. While on a movie set as an extra, she helped others reduce stress through this energy healing. Here she realized her mission to further educate herself and teach others in the area of health and healing. This triggered the beginnings of her studies of Massage Therapy, Traditional Thai Massage, CranioSacral Therapy, the Reconnection, Mind Clearing, Healing Touch, Qi Gong, meditation, nutrition and yoga. She became a Meditation Instructor, traveling to Thailand to delve deeper into herself with the guidance of her Teacher, a Buddhist monk, named Luang Phor Viriang Sirintharo, Lord Abbot of Wat Dhammamongkol, Bangkok, Thailand. She studies at the University of Calgary part-time and is an ongoing student of Dr. John Demartini`s Concourse of Wisdom.
Traveling the world has become her inspiration, visiting the ancient sites of Peru, Honduras, Mexico, Guatemala, Egypt, and Italy, fascinated by ancient culture, she quests for deeper understanding of human nature.
Through her unique zest for life, her enjoyment of the senses and her tireless curiosity, Mary Frances could not resist completing her inspiring education to become a Sommelier. She has blended the spiritual path, and a healthy lifestyle on all levels, with her reality that balance also includes the fun and enjoyment of good company, stimulating conversation, and a nutritious meal with a fine glass of wine!
Today, Mary Frances enjoys her freedom through living her mission. She values body, mind, and spirit and believes that with love and gratitude, true freedom is achieved by living in the truth of who we are.
She resides in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
