Yoga teacher, holistic healer,
day dreamer
I live in Harrogate, UK and host my offerings locally and online. You may be wondering if I am bendy and zen-like? Hmmm, not all of the time! Much of my time is spent mothering teenage boys, caring for an elderly relative, swearing and re-creating rock concerts in my kitchen. I’m all light, love and often a lot of noise and ‘what the f@ck?!’
Early childhood memories were joyful and inquisitive - looking for fairies in the bramble bushes and making potions with rose petals. Somewhere along the way, s**t got real!. Responsibilities, expectations, grief, physical challenges and life-altering surgeries.
Yoga found me at a time when I needed to slow down. I began to breathe, discovered the ways of ancient lands, Eastern medicine systems and an innate desire to share and hold space. I remembered that I have always carried the wisdom of those before me and an inherent desire to nourish and nurture. I have been teaching Yoga and Meditation, and offering holistic therapies since 2007. As the years roll by I understand that what more of us need is time to gather…and space to rest.
Kind Words
I feel very fortunate to do what I do. I absolutely love to teach and hold space for you. My students and clients are a constant source of inspiration.
Sheer bliss
The Restorative Yoga session online on a Tuesday night is sheer bliss, a great way to unwind and set up for a good night’s rest.

In tune
Lou has the quality of making it about YOU as a participant and not about her (as leader). I feel relaxed by her calm persona and kind voice. She’s also very in tune.

Skilful Hands
A very soothing massage in the capable, skilful hands of Lou. She knew exactly what to do with my weak, pain trigger areas. A pleasant experience which I enjoyed for the rest of the day.

Holder of sacred space
I have reached a stage where, despite having cancer-prevention surgeries that brought me to menopause and took away my motherly and womanly attributes I am MORE Woman than ever - blending the old ways with modern living and bringing extraordinary to the ordinary.
Something magical happens when we combine body wisdom...with the cycles of nature...with the space to be heard and held.
I’d love to connect with you. Join my newsletter for updates on news and events. My tribe, my students and community are thriving and I’d love you to be a part of that.
Healing & self-growth
I teach easeful and restful Yoga and hold space for bespoke one to one and group gatherings. I offer a range of holistic healing treatments, with a thrice-weekly residency in the centre of Harrogate as well as at events.
I hold teaching qualifications in Dru Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Trauma Informed Restorative Yoga, Menopause Yoga and Yoga for Cancer. I have further training in Thai Yoga Massage, Indian Head Massage and Holistic Massage, Hopi Ear Candling and Sound Therapy. I am an Usui Reiki (Levels 1 and 2) Practitioner and Aromatherapist. I am certified to hold Circles and Cacao Ceremony as a Cacao Medicine Carrier, and I am a Spiritdance Facilitator.
I am currently under the guidance of Dale Tobin - Symmetry of Health and have recently qualified in Psychic Surgery and Past Life Regression Therapy.
I continue to learn…and through my own daily ritualistic practices I remember the ways of the wise men and women healers before me.
