About

I’m Louise and I live on the small and wind-swept island of Shetland in the far north of Scotland.  My major goal in life is to live a really great one.  You too?  Well then come along for the journey and I’ll share all my adventures with you (and all the cool stuff I learn along the way).

Background:  When I was in my early 20′s I had an undiagnosable and untreatable gynaecological condition.  No doctor was able to tell me what was going on with my body.  I went through countless rounds of medication and surgical intervention yet nothing made any difference.  After 2 1/2 years of treatment an exasperated gynaecologist told me there was nothing more that could be done, my body was just mean to be like that, and not to come back.

Distraught to be written off by my doctors, I decided I would just have to go it alone and find my own cure.  I was certain that my body was not just “meant to be like that” and that I could be well again.  I started reading and researching and after a while a friend told me about a reiki workshop that was happening on our remote little island.  I couldn’t afford to go, but over a year later I did manage to go to my first reiki workshop and learned a healing tool that I believe everyone should have in their own self-healing kit.

I went through all the levels of reiki training available and eventually I was cured.  I learned that each of us have an amazing ability to heal ourselves.  I used reiki, but I soon learned from the research I had been doing that others had also healed themselves from all kinds of disease using different modalities.  I became fascinated with the potential, not just of these healing modalities but for what is possible for humans.  I learned about people who created the most amazing experiences for themselves and I became a student of human potential.

You can watch me speak about my reiki experience here, here and here.
