Dr. Stacey Francis
A Chiropractic Kinesiologist with over 16 years experience, Dr. Francis, founder of Higher Level HealthCare, is committed that people find their individual path to wellness and receive healthcare that encompasses the structural, nutritional and emotional aspects of their life. She is an advocate for continued education and, through a training and development course from Landmark Education, was given an assignment to develop a project that would "make a difference in the world"
Through this course called the Team Management and Leadership Program, Dr. Francis saw how creating teams and structures could cause powerful advances in accomplishing goals through communication and disappear dis-empowering conversation. The idea of creating a day of empowering conversation came about from witnessing many patients and friends lose their jobs or have their jobs and income in jeopardy. Wanting to support the people in the metro Detroit community to create a new conversation for themselves that is powerful and full of possibility, the Enrichment and Wellness Festival was born.
