Style & Soul Experience was born from loss, love, & the healing power of creation. After experiencing profound grief 10 yrs ago losing my father & also my mentor & bff just eight months apart, both on Friday the 13th, I found myself searching for light in the midst of darkness. Although I had owned my accounting firm for over 15 yrs, my spirit craved something more creative, something SOULFUL! Drawing from years of working alongside fashion designers, I channeled my grief into designing my own maternity line. What began as a creative outlet soon became a success & more importantly, a source of healing. I always wanted to be a mama but wasn’t sure if it would happen, so why not create for mamas! Over time, that maternity line evolved into @withlovefranki my non profit doggie rescue..each transformation a reflection of love, service, and purpose.

🤍 Last year I watched my granny, my Cleo take her last breath at 100 years old on Easter Sunday. I was reminded once again of life’s fragility and beauty. Seeking renewal, I traveled the world to surf and on my granny’s bday I was in Morocco with @floatingyou where everything changed. Sound healing, am daily surfing, & weeks of lessons I discovered a new way to serve supporting others who, like me, were navigating grief & transformation 🌊 a surf & yoga retreat along the Cali coast! Then came fires and halted those plans. Little did I know those plans were not halted..just channeled in a different way

🤍 Altadena has been my safe haven. I moved there as a teenager from the hood! When I got to Dena I could be a real kid! Walk to arcades, make friends, actually walk outside! Gave me a new found peace! Now my desire is to give back to the community that once gave me safety & strength. It’s more than a non profit; it’s a healing movement. A space where creativity meets compassion. Where style becomes self-expression, & soul becomes service. Every gathering, every experience is designed to nurture connection, inspire healing, & remind us that even through loss, beauty can bloom again. Style & Soul Experience.... a little style, a little soul, & a lot of heart 🤍 I discovered something beautiful: when I’m immersed in grief, I create.. & maybe you can too!

With Love, Kindness, & Warmth
