“In a society that says, ‘Put yourself last’ Self-acceptance and self-love are almost revolutionary” Brene Brown
Louise believes in continual personal development and integration. The inspiration of teachers such as Thich Nhat Hanh, Uma Dinsmore Tuli, Sarah Powers, enable her to bring her experiences together with mindfulness and a deeper aspiration for change and evolution for all. It was during a stay at Plum Village that Louise received the name ‘Harmony of The Heart’ from Thich Nhat Hanh.
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 lead onto the path of therapy work through 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 trained and worked with many great yoga teachers from around the world. This inspired her to complete her own yoga teacher training Diploma in 2007 at Yoga Vidya Gurukul in Nasik, India. She extended this training to encompass pregnancy & women’s yoga in 2009. 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.

More reviews of our previous retreats
“This was such a fabulous, my first time, retreat! Surrounded and held in nature, the host and other wild hearts were so welcoming. A wonderful mix of activities, fun, delicious food, deep and nourishing rest. I felt so safe to be able to surrender to all of this and leave the “outside” world behind for these few days. It still resonates in my whole being, much warmth and gratitude”. Nan
“I have been on two of Louise’s retreats and each time have left feeling so deeply rested and nourished. Louise curates the perfect weekend with beautiful settings and delicious catering, as well as the right balance of structured time and own free time. It’s always refreshing to meet other people and to really stop and slow down, i’ll definitely be making it an annual thing to do”. Jess

Shiatsu / Hot Stone Massage
“I would highly recommend Louise for her fantastic Hot stone massage and Shiatsu. I have been lucky enough to have both recently and can honestly say I left feeling like a different person! The sessions were both incredibly relaxing and a fantastic treat for both my body and soul. I felt soothed and super relaxed after and all the pains and niggles in my body were gone. i’m already looking forward to my next session”. Rhi
Shiatsu:
Shiatsu was developed in Japan more than 1400 years ago and works on the same principals as acupuncture. Shiatsu massage works to rebalance the body’s natural flow of energy which travels through the meridians. This energy can sometimes become stuck which can cause disharmonies and illness to manifest. By strengthening the vital organs, Shiatsu works preventatively before weakness occurs. Unlike Western medicine, Shiatsu seeks to address the person holistically and not just their symptoms.
For example, Shiatsu may help to treat:
insomnia
headaches
anxiety
back pain
fatigue
poor circulation
weight problems
indigestion / digestive disorders
chills / flushes
poor appetite
chronic cases of rheumatism
high blood pressure
emotional difficulties
menstrual / reproductive problems
Hot Stone Massage:
Hot Stone Fusion is a unique, powerful and dynamic combination of hands and stone massage. It is unlike any other treatment as it uses basalt stones that are thousands of years old. These volcanic stones have a high iron content that not only is said to have healing qualities but also effectively retain heat. The hands and hot stones are used with oil to massage the body, the heat penetrates deep within the muscles allowing the body to open and deeply relax.
Melt away your stress with a powerful, dynamic Hot Stone Massage.
Increase mobility & Flexibility
Decrease injury & rehabilitation time
Revitalise & experience a deep sense of Calm
Prices may vary according to location, ranging between £55-65 or for a saving, book a block of 5.
