Meet your Therapist & spiritual guide
Isabel Cristina Franco: After obtaining postgraduate degrees in elementary education and occupational therapy, I decided to endeavor deeper into holistic healing modalities to integrate into my professions and truly bring the practice back to its roots of mental health.
I integrate my experience and skills as an OT to address self awareness and reflection, while promoting personal growth and bringing community together. I specialize in pediatrics, and I passionately advocate for the mental and physical wellbeing of my clients. Bringing back mindfulness to educational settings and the community to truly address the importance of living a balanced life where play is as equally important as work. I am the founder of my private practice KidsOTNJ.
I was born in Medellin, Colombia. My family and I immigrated to the USA in 1990 during a time when Colombia was considered the 2nd most dangerous country in the world, as it was going through the worst socio-political war in its history. From early on, I dreamed of a better world, one where humans, especially children could feel safe, secure and loved.
I am a self- empowering woman who harnesses heart-opening therapies, including ceremonial-grade cacao ceremonies, meditation, sound, therapeutic touch and conscious breath-work, as tools for personal transformation. My most cherished creations are my two sons, whom I guide in living harmoniously, with gratitude and purpose, fostering a path toward a brighter future for humanity.
Dedicated to providing a nurturing space for self-exploration and healing, I study under the tutelage of Florencia Fridman, my guiding mentor. I am certified in rebirthing breath-work, a holistic modality that works mentally, spiritually, physically, psychologically, and emotionally on the self. I consider myself a student of life, continuing to walk the spiritual path, always looking for ways to bring peace and balance into my life. I am an international traveler who endeavors to cultivate a healthier, more joyful world for all inhabitants of our planet.
