Life can be busy and we get lost, so this is how I stay in touch.

I use the breath technique as a tool to calm the mind and body and become mindful throughout my day. This has hugely increased both physical and mental wellbeing.

We can use breathwork to become aware of unconscious patterns that are causing negative results in our life. This gives a sense of being able to make different choices and changes which attribute to more peace and wellness and a better life.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Read what my clients say” url=”http://dev.rubyretreat.co.nz/breathworker-practitioner-louise-waswo/#louisetestimonials” image=”http://dev.rubyretreat.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/crownchakra.jpg” icon_placement=”left” image_icon_width=”none” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” animation=”bottom” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” image_max_width=”none” global_colors_info=”{}”]

She is a beautiful, kind & gentle soul, who puts so much love and empathy into her work. She created an environment where I felt safe & secure & by doing so I was able to breathe into areas that I had never been able to before & release years of suppressed pain & emotion.

I would encourage anyone who is thinking of doing breath work with her to go for it, you won’t regret it at all!

She will call you to be a better person, not letting you wallow in any old patterns, or self pity. She will tell you how it is in the kindest way possible. She will make you laugh, and let you cry. She helps you believe your life can be better in every way, and helps you find the next step to get there.

I have to say, of all the healing modalities I’ve tried during the last two decades, breathwork has by far allowed me to shift many unconscious beliefs and stuck energy.

Louise is a talented facilitator who brings compassion, deep insight & wisdom, and neutrality to her work. I looked forward to my sessions with her and was always awed by what revealed itself. I’ve had such life changing & lasting outcomes from breathwork that I’m now studying to become a facilitator myself.

Breathwork enables you to get to the bottom of issues and Louise’s knowledge and skills make this process a very valuable and rewarding experience
[/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Ben” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]I’ve found Louise to be an excellent listener, when I have been having a breathwork session with her.

Louise is great at making me feel right at home to just rattle out all the garbage inside, (so to speak). This is good, as this way we get to the root of the problem before we start our breathwork session. Because of this at the end of the session I have more of a sense of clarity, followed by an inner peace.

I would recommend Louise to anyone who is searching for that inner peace, by following their own heart!
[/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]I have been seeing Louise over the past 3 months having just arrived in NZ from the UK.

It was amazing how quickly she narrowed down where my issues stemmed from & how she incorporated the breath work into addressing them.

Louise’s professional yet compassionate manner makes each session an absolute joy and one leaves feeling happier and with great hope about life in general. I feel ready to put my energy into what really matters to me, rather than what I think other people expect of me.
[/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]I came to Louise after research the healing power of breath as I had come to a junction in my life where there needed to be some changes.

Louise taught me the methods of breathing through the emotional reactions to the changes and how to experience them without attachment.

I would recommend Louise to anyone wishing to enhance their journey through positive change.
