I studied at The Complementary Therapy School in London, England, under Melanie Bell and completed my Level 5 Practitioners Diploma in Clinical Reflexology, passing with Distinction. I moved to Canada in 2018 and I am a certified member of the Reflexology Association of Canada, making me a fully Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapist (RCRT). I completed my Fertility & Maternity training with Michelle Stroud at By the Moon Holistic Health School.

I see clients from all walks of life but some of my areas of interest and expertise include stress management, fertility (including infertility, pregnancy and post-partum, peri-menopause and menopause), and sleep problems. Life is busy – we tend to take on too much and put ourselves at the bottom of a very long to-do list. But we can only give so much, and self-care is incredibly important for the body to function at its optimum level.

Reflexology promotes deep relaxation and allows the body time to realign and rebalance by reducing tension, improving circulation, and supporting the body’s natural healing system. Trust that I understand how important it is for you to take a little time out for yourself and to focus on your body and your wellbeing. Self-care is not selfish, it is essential.

Louise learned how important it is to have the tools to manage stressors and to respond compassionately not only to others but also to oneself. Over the years Louise was searching for something that could help settle anxiety, allow her to handle situations with ease and increase performance. Learning how to adopt specific breathwork patterns has taught her how to use the power of breath to control how she experiences daily life with more presence.

Recognizing the benefits of focusing on the breath and the importance of functional breathing; Louise immersed herself in certification programs: Oxygen Advantage and Buteyko with Patrick McKeown, Peak Flow, and Pause Breathwork by Samantha Skelly.

Louise strives to reach her full potential and assist others in finding theirs. This can be done through workshops or custom designed multi-week programs based on the individual’s interests and needs.

The losses in my life, both death and non-death, have led me to become a Thanatologist (Grief Counselor). I specialize in helping those who have lost loved ones, as well as, those who have experienced non-death losses such as, divorce, infertility, chronic illness, and job loss, to name a few.

I hold two BA degrees: Thanatology from the University of Western (the only Thanatology degree in the world) and Sociology from the University of Windsor. Certifications: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Complicated Grief (Prolonged Grief Disorder), Suicide Bereavement Clinician Training.

As a Thanatologist, I take a different approach to grief and loss than those in the Psychology field. I will not try to fix the problem of grief because grief is not a problem; grief is a form of love and it affects everyone at some point in their lives. Instead, I listen, validate, encourage, help you feel safe, and integrate the losses into your life while helping you find new purpose and meaning. I will be there to bear witness to your pain by companioning you through this difficult journey and offer unconditional support.

I have worked as a grief counselor, facilitator in bereavement and support groups, led grief walking groups, supported suicide survivors, and provided palliative support for patients at the end of their lives.

Feel free to contact me directly to schedule a free 15 minute initial phone consult.

As a Mindset Coach, I enable clients to unleash their full potential by removing limiting beliefs that prevent them from achieving their wildest dreams. Our thoughts, beliefs and emotions are powerful and can be used as a mechanism to either stifle our growth or it can be harnessed to unleash our full potential.

My goal is to help people rewrite their life story by challenging limiting beliefs and by magnifying skills, talents and potential that already exists in their life. I go through a process with my clients to create a crystal-clear vision of what they want their future life to look like and work closely with them to create habits, thought patterns and discipline to fast-track the journey to their envisioned life.

As a Bio-Energetic Wellness Practitioner, I use muscle bio-feedback to identify energy imbalances. These imbalances are corrected by using light touch or light massaging of specific acupressure points which re-activates the body’s innate healing ability. It is often called “muscle balancing” or “energy balancing”. It balances posture, attitude, and life energy.

I am so excited to go on this journey with you and can’t wait to meet you!

Over my 7 years of experience, I’ve worked with individuals across the lifespan, from young children to senior adults. In my work as a Child and Family Therapist at SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health, I work with individuals and families struggling with a range of emotional and behavioural challenges. When working at Ryerson University’s counselling centre, I developed a love for working with young adults, as they discover their identities and go through major life transitions. And in my time as a single-session tele-counsellor at Morneau Shepell, I honed my ability to make good use of every moment with a client.

Currently, I specialize in working individually with teens and young adults, though I also work with individual adults, parents, and families as needed. My approach is a mix of several therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused (Family) Therapy (EFT; EFFT), Mindfulness-Based, Attachment-Based, and Trauma-Informed therapy. I also strive to provide an anti-racist, anti-oppressive practice. I believe that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are, in large part, a product of our experiences. When we’ve had hurtful or traumatic experiences, we adapt to keep ourselves physically and emotionally safe. Sometimes, those adaptations are no longer useful or helpful to us, and we need to learn new ways to manage. My goal as your therapist will be to provide a safe and attuned space in which to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences and navigate how you want to think and feel in the present and in the future. Feel free to book a free initial phone consult to see whether I’m the right therapist for you.
