Hi, I'm Louise
I'd like to share a bit about my own journey home to healing- and why you can trust me with yours.
​​
​
I was a busy school teacher when I started to experience unexplained pain, migraines, exhaustion and repeated infections. Standing for any length of time made me feel dizzy and made my heart race, and repeated trips to the doctor for blood tests came back with nothing. My life got smaller and smaller as I tried to 'push through' my symptoms to go to work, crashing in the evenings and weekends.
One day my body decided that enough was enough and I collapsed at work with stroke-like symptoms and seizures. After several weeks in a stroke ward and many investigations I was sent home with a diagnosis of functional symptoms and I began my 8 year descent into severe ill health and disability with no effective medical solution.
​
For 8 years I struggled with intolerable symptoms including severe pain, migraines, vestibular migraines and persistent dizziness, postural tachycardia that left me unable to sit up in bed for a whole year, intolerance to light, sound and medications and fatigue so severe that at times I could not lift a fork.
​
In 2019 my life changed when I discovered the mind body approach. Amazingly, I was able to retrain my brain out of physical symptoms and for the first time in 8 years could open my front door and walk out.
​
Despite my improving symptoms, the slightest emotional stress brought them all back with a vengeance and I was flipping between completely overwhelmed with anxiety and completely numb and disconnected. I realised that working with my emotions held the key to my full and lasting recovery and started the rich journey back to myself.​
​
In 2021 I fell off of a mountain and sustained potentially life altering injuries including a traumatic brain injury and broken spine. I was told that I would have chronic back pain for the rest of my life, but working with my emotions brought me back to pain free living again. When we heal the root cause of our pain and suffering, we heal for good.
