Louisa has a long standing interest in the mind-body connection and has a committed self-development practice through years of meditation, retreats, yoga, dance and bodywork. She became an ordained Buddhist in 2012. Louisa has a fascination with our anatomy and how the shape we become in the world is deeply intertwined with our personal history, our ancestral traumas, our physical tensions, our thought habits and our capacity for freedom of expression.
Discovering the Rosen Method in Sweden in 2003, Louisa found a modality that works with all the different layers of the person, their emotions, thoughts, beliefs, together with our current and past life experiences, and not just their physical presentation. She knew implicitly that this was her calling and she became a Certified Rosen Method Practitioner in 2009 and a Certified Rosen Teacher in 2021. Since then Louisa continues her journey with Rosen, working privately with clients and is currently in training to become a senior Teacher and she is a primary supervisor. She teaches Living/Emotional Anatomy courses for the UK Rosen Method School and abroad. She is a self employed HCPC and state registered physiotherapist.
She is also a qualified Human Foundations Practitioner. This is a method of training the body using resistance to unwind habitual patterns of movement that tighten and restrict us. Based on the system “Functional Patterns”, training our body to move in normal movement patterns based on standing, walking, running and throwing, allows us to access a far deeper felt sense of connection between our body parts, particularly arms, torso and legs. When we move efficiently and stop exercising in ways that continue to habitually tighten our tissues (which often leads to pain) we can find a new core and postural strength which comes with an awareness of inner connection and personal integrity.
