Story
Lou
I’ve always been curious about the human psyche, graduating from Notre dame University with a bachelor of Counselling in 2012. After many years of undertaking talk therapy for myself, I began a dedicated practice of yoga and within three weeks I experienced a significant reduction of anxiety, and an overall stillness and quiet confidence that I had lived without prior. At this time, I realised that there was more than one road to healing. Talk therapy had helped me develop an awareness of my suffering, the thoughts and behaviours and yoga helped me to develop a connection with my body and allowed me to let go of the relentless trying and just be. Getting to know the mind AND the body allows the whole system to heal... and along came massage. My focus is on activating your para-sympathetic nervous system with intentional, firm, flowing touch.

"I started working with Lou toward the end of 2023. She had so much faith in me, right from the start and has been such an incredible employer. I am a single mother to three children and Lou completely understands the trials and unpredictability that comes with the responsibility of parenting. Working at Touch Therapy has really opened up my love for massage on a deeper level. The clinic is so warm, calm and relaxing. It feels like you’re stepping into a different world, one where worries and stresses just melt away. After years of being a massage therapist, I feel like I've finally come into my own way of being. I'm now the therapist I'm meant to be and that resonates with my clients and makes my work feel really worthwhile."

"I greatly appreciate Louisa's approach to open and honest communication. She is supportive and kindhearted, fostering mutual respect and making me feel heard. Having known Louisa for almost three years, I always hoped to join her friendly team of therapists. Now, two and a half years later, I am working in a professional, calming, and nurturing environment that promotes tranquility and supports healing for everyone seeking remedial or relaxation massage. I love working with clients who are open to various healing modalities, and it is incredibly satisfying to serve them."
