The Founders

Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber

Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber is a New Zealander of Russian and Native American Cherokee descent, born with highly developed clairvoyant and healing gifts and comes from a lineage of medicine men and woman.

Internationally recognised as a master shaman and modern day medicine woman she has appeared on a number of international television programs and documentaries focusing on sacred plant medicine, shamanism and natural healing.

Franchelle is described in Maoridom by highly respected kaumatua and traditional guardians of the old wisdom as being a genuine ‘matatuhi' - one who can read what is written in the wind’ and a ‘matakite', one who sees with the healing or the third eye.  She has been fully initiated into the Kura Huna, the Mystery school of the Maori.

A custodian of the secret shamanic healing techniques for her lineage, she is unique in her ability to directly access the collective pool of ancient earth wisdom and to access universal mind at the 12th plane level of indigenous memory.

Franchelle is extensively trained in rongoa and the sacred plant lore of Aotearoa and highly attuned to the devic realm, and is able to communicate directly with the ancient people and the 'atua' or gods and goddesses of Aotearoa.

It is this unique set of gifts that has enabled her to bring the healing power of the First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand to the world.
