Francine Krause
The Prima Bella Experience
Each session with Francine is a unique and personal experience where you can share your hopes, fears, dreams and history of your journey to pregnancy. Your Prima Bella session is unlike any other belly casting experience. Francine combines her personable and caring ways with her unmatched proprietary technique. She offers you not only a wonderful experience but an exquisite work of art that forever captures your special journey to motherhood.
The Prima Bella experience includes sharing tea and talking, viewing pregnancy sculptures and choosing the final contour for your sculpture, relaxation breathing for your body and mind, your casting session, and finally a private and leisurely shower using an aroma therapeutic salt scrub for skin rejuvenation.
You will leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, with a renewed sense of excitement and confidence in your pregnant body, and take with you a lasting memory of pregnancy and a family heirloom of your pregnant form.
Your final sculpture will be smooth to the touch, like hand burnished pottery or a carved marble statue. The soft white finish reveals the graceful lines of your pregnant form. Prima Bella Studios offers pregnancy sculptures that are refined to a sensual elegance and stateliness that brings them into the classical realm of fine art sculpture and statuary. These are different from bellymasks which are still rough and unrefined.
The ideal time to make a Prima Bella Sculpture is when you are approximately 36 or 37 weeks into your pregnancy. Please schedule your appointment at least 4-12 weeks in advance of your desired casting session as Francine limits the number of castings per month and her calendar can fill up quickly.
