Marie-Louise has worked as a therapist in London since 2005.

Most recently, she has trained in Somatic trauma therapy, conducted through somatic ‘felt sense’, alongside somatic fascia release (a form of manual body work) for those who need it.

This work allows people to get in touch with embodied trauma via the nervous system and fascia network. The sessions are slow, and patiently give the body an opportunity to let something go with support and guidance.

Healing from embodied trauma can be a bumpy journey. Energy therapy can help in the phases of healing that feel hard and uncomfortable.

Marie-Louise provides blended therapy, calling on all three modalities according to client needs.

Starting her career with sports massage, personal training and injury rehabilitation, Marie-Louise has always worked with the body treating a variety of life related conditions.

Bio-mechanical issues can be addressed via massage, fascia work, acupuncture and fire cupping.

Energy Therapy with Marie-Louise in her own words

A gentle, intuitive, and broad approach to healing where energetic shifts can be made. Especially useful in times of turmoil and stress, energy work can help people feel centred, less scattered, and more ‘together’.  This work can be used as a stand alone treatment. But I often blend it with my somatic work. It’s a very helpful and gentle way to help people process as they work on adjusting to the ‘unburdening’ of trauma the somatic work allows.

In a typical session, you will lay face up on the couch. This isn’t a skin on skin therapy, no need to undress, but there maybe touch involved. Please always say if touch feels uncomfortable for you in any way, so we can accommodate.

As with all my work, communication between us is important, and we will be checking in with each other throughout the session. It’s gentle and quiet work. It can bring it’s own forms of release and unburdening. These have the same signs as the somatic work (things like tingles, twitches, yawns, temperature and emotional shifts). All sessions are conducted slowly with communication throughout to work within your comfort. Being open to things shifting, moving and changing is important. Your body may take a while to allow things to change working slowly and with patience is key. Each time we work, we build flow and connection in the body.

Review of Energy Therapy with Marie-Louise

Marie-Louise is total magic. I’ve experienced really good energy healing before, but I have never felt energy coming through someone’s hands as strongly as I did with her. It was so powerful I could feel things moving and shifting in my body.

I went into the session feeling quite stagnant and came out feeling so much clearer and in flow. Afterwards I felt so much more able to do all the things I wanted and needed to do, so much more productive and unblocked. I’d also had this ache in my lower abdomen, and after the session it had completely disappeared, which was incredible.

Marie-Louise has amazing energy and an ability to make anyone feel comfortable and safe. The space she creates feels so accepting and free of any judgement, there is nothing I would feel I couldn’t say to her, which makes such a great healing environment.
