Anne-Frans is an animal behaviorist, dog trainer, Healing Touch for Animals practitioner, and author of Animal Energy Therapy Project. With a background in psychology, health and wellness, she has dedicated her life to bridging western and eastern approaches to spirituality, healing, and everyday living—an integrative approach she brings to her work with animals across the United States, India, and Europe, and which proved invaluable during her own cancer journey.

Originally from Holland, she lives in Northern California with her husband and four beloved animal companions. She continues to expand her writing, from animal behavior to memoir to fiction. An avid athlete, she loves the outdoors, travels, runs Little Bitty Nuts (a small cottage food business), and maintains close family and friend connections across continents.
