“In a society that says, ‘put yourself last’ self-acceptance and self-love are almost revolutionary” Brene Brown
Louise is inspired and influenced by teachers such as Thich Nhat Hanh, Uma Dinsmore Tuli and Sarah Powers. It was during a stay at Plum Village that Louise received the name ‘Harmony of The Heart’ from Thich Nhat Hanh. As a peri-menopausal mother of two, she thoroughly enjoys working with women and is passionate about women’s health and sharing a heart-centred approach, with uplifting and nourishing yoga for all levels and abilities.
Louise combines gentle, nourishing and strengthening (hatha) yoga, with flowing, breath connected movement. She enjoys providing opportunities for deep rest and restoration, through guided relaxation (yoga nidra). She happily offers modifications, so anyone can follow at their own pace and level, even if they’re a beginner. Sessions are designed to inspire joy and pleasure in movement, to ground and find ease in body and mind.
Background
Louise has a background in contemporary dance and has always been inspired by the body, its wisdom and intricacies. It was through a dance-related injury that she was inspired to share her own experience of Shiatsu’s power to heal. She graduated in 2005 as a Shiatsu therapist through the Ealing School Of Shiatsu before also qualifying in Indian head massage and Hot Stone Therapy with Jing Advanced Massage training.

Through working on retreats as a body practitioner, Louise has trained and worked with many great yoga teachers from around the world.
