Energy Counselling - transforming trauma responses in the body

Embody Freedom Coaching

Where we get free together, and you step into your vision by releasing sabotage.

Free ebook, Meridian Tapping for Dissociation

At the heart of Embodying Freedom is releasing trauma responses in the body. When this is focused on what stands in the way of achieving dreams, it can be very clear. One of my deepest values is empowerment. The truth is, this energy is always within us: each of us can learn to access and use it whenever we need support. This work is based on our ancestors, and we know it in our cells!

I share these tools because they have changed my life—helping me calm emotional distress and rediscover a sense of agency I once thought was lost. I’ve witnessed these benefits in clients and therapists I train, too. My ultimate goal is freedom, and these simple, effective practices are the most powerful ways I’ve found to help people experience it.

A therapeutic space is a safe and supportive place to pause, reflect, and honor our journeys—giving us room to explore what no longer serves us. In this space, we can understand and appreciate how we’ve survived, opening ourselves to new possibilities for the future and a life with greater freedom. This process is especially vital when healing from experiences like childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, the vicarious trauma of racism, and many other chapters in the stories of my clients and my own life.

Upcoming Workshops

At Energy Counselling, I combine my 30 years of experience with a variety of energy therapies—some of which I have developed myself. I am passionate about guiding both therapists and individuals in cultivating embodied freedom, supporting healing through connection to their own inner energy.

About me

My past has been rich and complex, shaped by living in many different countries and diverse cultures. I deeply appreciate the many ways we carry our histories and become who we are, as well as the unique ways we are shaped by culture. This diversity in my background, along with my professional training, informs the work I do. People of all ethnicities, sexualities, genders, and abilities are warmly welcomed here, as they are an integral part of both my life and my practice.

Hi, I’m Lou

I was raised in a cult focused on “human development”. As a result, I had very little contact with my family, and was completely separated from my parents from age 12 to 15.
