Louise Hay

In Australia we call her the the Grandmother of self help and the media has even dubbed her the closest thing to a living saint! She certainly had a big influence on my work, and I have refined and use many of her tools with my clients and in workshops over the years.

Positive Affirmations: Making Them MORE Powerful.

Louise L Hay has devoted her life to teaching others about conscious creation. She had a traumatic childhood, having been raped at only five years old, and suffering an abusive upbringing. In later years she was diagnosed with cancer, and this was the real test in putting what she had learnt and taught into practice for herself.

Louise knew that anger, resentment and rage has an impact on the body and she focused her attention on loving and healing herself with the help of alternative treatments, affirmations, visualizations and clearing techniques. After six months, without surgery or conventional medical treatments, there was no longer any trace of cancer in her body!

Louise Hay is a beautiful example of her own work, an inspiration to many over years through her books, running workshops and teaching others how to apply her principles.

Louise is now focusing on inspiring Elders in our community, and valuing the wisdom of the older generation. In native cultures, aging is valued and revered, in the west we strive to do everything to prevent aging and our elderly folk are largely invisible.
