Francesca Rose is a shapeshifter. She's been thick, thin, a Midwesterner, a boomerang Southerner, a recovering workaholic, and world traveler hobo.  Born in the South, and raised in the Midwest, she won a Fencing scholarship at the University of Detroit on a dare and graduated with an economics degree.  

A job offer lured her back to Chicago, and on a legendary sub zero winter day, she saw a sign for  free "Hot Yoga" and having no clue what yoga was, signed up just to get warm. A yogi was born! 

After experiencing soul crushing career burnout, she took an epic multi-state RV road trip with her frisbee obsessed Australian Shepherd, which ultimately led her to Raleigh, where she found healing by renovating old houses, hiking the trails with her Aussie, and perfecting her barbecue game.
