After a thirteen-year career in business as an accountant and finance director of two legal firms in Scotland, she began studying an extensive self-designed syllabus in psychology. As a therapeutic coach and teacher in Somatics, she utilises a blend of martial art and mindfulness techniques. In 2017, she completed her Master’s in Integrative Coaching Psychology.

Based in Scotland, Louise undertakes coaching with sports people and national youth sports teams.

Strongly committed to her own human development, she is currently undertaking further research and practice in the Polyvagal theory and its implication for integrating into her Organisational Development field.
