Meet John
Co-founder

For over 26 years, Fran and I have shared life’s journey together. Seven years ago, Fran was diagnosed with breast cancer, and five years later, we learned it had become metastatic, spreading to the bone. From that moment, we made a conscious choice — to focus on living fully, nurturing the mind, body, and spirit, and embracing a more holistic path to healing.
​
This decision changed everything.
​
What began as a deeply personal healing journey evolved into one of hope, discovery, and inspiration. Along the way, we discovered the profound power of compassion, natural healing, and the strength that comes from connection and community.
​
Out of this journey, Elysium Grove was born - a sanctuary dedicated to supporting and empowering women on their own paths to wellness, wholeness, and peace.
