About
Francine Bonjour-Carter
My Approach & Values:
I am an artist, writer, somatic awareness educator, and facilitator guiding people through life transitions using creative, reflective, and embodied practices.
I work with individuals navigating periods of personal change — including identity shifts, career transitions, relationship changes, midlife transitions, creative awakening, grief, and shifts in the body.
These threshold seasons ask for embodied awareness, symbolic reflection, groundedness, and space to listen inwardly.
My work integrates:
- Mixed-media art and visual journaling
- Somatic awareness and nervous system-informed practices
- Reflective exercises for personal insights
- Symbolic and imaginal exploration
Together, these support clarity, integration, and meaningful personal growth.
I have a long-standing interest in Jungian psychology, symbolism, creativity, and the process of individuation. I am especially interested in the places where body, psyche, and meaning intersect — where an image, a sensation, or a subtle shift in the body reveals new understanding.
This work is a creative, embodied approach to navigating life transitions with depth and presence.

I work in-person in the Main Line and Greater Philadelphia areas.
What Has Shaped Me:
My approach has been shaped by over two decades of study, professional experience, and depth-oriented personal practice. I am trained in the Feldenkrais Method®, with a focus on traumatic experiences, and my clinical experience informs how I support nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and sustainable personal change.
