TESTIMONIALS
Strategic Intervention & Coaching
Louise is an incredibly focused and talented strategic interventionist. She is very intuitive and has a phenomenal ability to be both gentle and challenging in her guidance. She has a great sense of humour and uses fun strategies to make you really think about yourself and shift your perspectives.
Before working with Louise, I was experiencing a great deal of frustration and stress. I lacked confidence and never really appreciated myself, or the value of my own work. I thought the only way to achieve fulfillment was to overstretch and beat myself up which only got me more frustrated and burnt out. I also had a blurry vision of my future, which didn't help to sustain change and I would end up back in a vicious cycle of guilt and apathy.
Our sessions helped me identify issues preventing me from making progress and kept me on track towards my goals by providing vital support and direction at times of difficulty when I was spinning around, drifting away or on the verge of giving up.
Being coached by Louise helped me to make some important changes in my life and move forward with goals that I had kept putting off. The tools and strategies used in our coaching sessions were not only fun but most importantly helped me develop some personal habits, which keep me focused and steer me to discover my potential and my own way to fulfillment.

I've seen simple things I couldn't see before, that make all the sense when it comes to wonder why I do the things I do. I'm happier, and feel more focused, still a work in progress, but at least I have a better idea of where I'm heading.
Learning to let go and hear your inner voice, control your archetypes and respect your values is a lot.
I feel more secure, more focus, happier, healthier, lovely, and proud of myself after these sessions, although I recognize that is not an easy road, and one has to be compromised to change for it to work (which can be the hardest part!).
Thank you Louise, one thousand times for this opportunity.

Louise is great, and that makes things easier and better, even when I cry and sob, I argue or get lost in my own thoughts, she always finds a way to patiently bring me back to the exercise and lead me back on track.
Louise is super patient, practical and focused, I recognize I'm not easy to deal with, but she was able to put up with my revel behaviour (plus sometimes my limited English, and a horrible internet connection), and help me redefine my goals, my strengths, my needs, my limitations... plus some useful insights about practical ways to fight procrastination.
Massage & Well-Being
My Reiki sessions with Louise have been very beneficial to both myself and my little boy of 8yrs.
I have experienced an extremely emotional and toxic relationship. I have also had a neck operation, where I had 4 vertebrae replaced. With Louise's help and guidance through Reiki and therapy I have found tremendous release and healing.
During the sessions I concentrated on my breathing as Louise advised. I often fell asleep and would wake up after the allocated time feeling very relaxed and calm. Louise would confirm affirmations for me. I have gained strength in myself and am positive about my life experiences.
Louise has given my son distant Reiki healing sessions. He is much calmer and happier. He sleeps well and his all round wellbeing has improved.
Louise has changed our lives so much!! I am so grateful for her help. She is truly wonderful!

I met Louise 18 months ago in Buenos Aires. She had recently arrived from Bolivia and I from Chile. As we chatted we realised we had a lot in common, especially our love for travel and sports.
Personally I am a very active sportsman playing football 3 times as well as going to the gym, also in the winter I am a keen snowboarder and if I can I will go for the best part of a season. In fact, when I met Louise I had just finished a season and had recently done some mountain biking in the Andes. Unfortunately I had two bad falls; one on my snowboard twisting my knee; and one on my bike landing heavily on my right shoulder.
Louise explained to me that she was a massage therapist and that if I wanted she could perhaps give me a massage to relieve some of the pain and tension in my body. To be quite honest, I was a bit sceptical at first as I had never had a massage. However, I was willing to give it a try.
All I can say is that the results were marvellous. Louise initially gave me a proper physical examination before beginning any therapy. This consisted of her asking me questions about my physical activities as well as looking at my body. Much to my surprise she told me that my back was compressed & twisted, obviously from my falls, and as a result one of my arms and legs was longer than the other. Louise then performed her massage treatment and at the end of it she manipulated my back into place. The sensation was amazing! I felt no pain at all and when I got up I felt like a new man and happy to say with arms & legs the same length!
Since that day I haven’t looked back and I try and see Louise every 2 weeks if possible. I have found that regular massage has really improved my performance on the pitch and at the gym, also apart from the physical benefits my spiritual well being has improved too.
​
All I can add is that if you have never tried massage therapy I highly recommend it and especially Louise.
