Move into Harmony
It’s about Movement of energy into Harmony. - Skills are listening and observing on the physical and energetic levels. It’s about the practitioner assisting the movement in conjunction with the client’s own healing plan. It’s about applying practiced techniques and using experience and knowledge gained over time.
- Feeling Safe is the only way energy will release and Move into Harmony. The space (Ether element) is open and clear to allow maximum results. The session needs to conclude with sufficient grounding and integration (Earth element) feeling safe to move back out into one’s own life now centered and balanced.
- Practitioner’s wellbeing is the fulcrum for the session – being grounded; centered and anchored with a non-judgmental awareness. This presence is an on-going practice and life’s journey in itself.

Polarity Therapy
What is “Polarity Therapy”?
Polarity Therapy is a natural health care system that works with the Human Energy Field. Energy fields and currents exist everywhere in nature. Polarity Therapy asserts that the flow and balance of energy in the human body is the foundation of good health.
Where did “Polarity” come from?
Polarity Therapy was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone (1 890-1981) a pioneer in holistic health care. He taught that body, emotions, mind and spirit are interdependent, that each person is responsible for his or her own health and that simple steps can be taken to improve wellness.
How does it work?
Polarity Therapy works by contacting various reflex points similar to acupuncture, but using hand holds for stress reduction and specific manipulations (instead of needles) aimed at releasing tension in the body and setting the energy free.
What is the “energy” in the body?
The human body is an electrical plant that runs on high-voltage energy. The spine (the utility pole), sends energy via all the nerves (or wires) to every part of the body so movement can occur.
How does this “energy” get blocked?
If there is a short in the energy circuits of the body or an injury to the system, the circuit breakers go out. Knowing how to turn the circuit breakers back on is energy medicine.
Leading the pursuit of natural healing, Polarity Therapy provides a gentle, yet powerful means to encourage the body’s natural energy flow.
Common presenting symptoms are back, neck and shoulder pain from tension or injury.
By promoting the body’s natural energy flow in these areas, the body begins its own natural healing process of the realigning of the spine and overall muscle release.
I am a founding committee member of the Australian Polarity Therapy Network outlining my dedication to the cause of Polarity Therapy in Australia.
What can “Polarity” do for me?
In a typical Polarity Therapy session, the client and practitioner work together to address physical, mental and emotional energy blocks in a safe, supportive environment. Therapies such as Polarity concentrate on keeping the positive pathways of energy open. To maintain quality health, the life energy must flow freely through the entire body.
Basically it keeps you healthy.
What can Polarity fix?
Pain is a blockage of energy and eventually leads to disease and structural dysfunction. Any physical, mental or emotional imbalance can be addressed utilizing four therapeutic techniques during a Polarity Therapy session.
Bodywork: The practitioner’s hands assist the flow of healing energy in the client’s body.
Diet: If required the practitioner may suggest diets to promote cleansing and longevity with fresh wholesome foods adapted to individual needs.
Exercise: Polarity yoga is a series of simple self-help energy techniques that create relaxation and balance.
Self-Awareness: Practitioners encourage clients to understand themselves and to view the world from a positive perspective. Clients become empowered in his or her own healing process.
These natural, self guided techniques provide a simple, comprehensive method for maintaining balance and good health.
Treatment Methods
I use a unique blend of the following methods:
- listening
- facilitating the free flow of the body’s energy
- promoting relaxation and healing
- suggesting self-help techniques
Craniosacral Therapy
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
is different from both cranial osteopathy and from other approaches to craniosacral therapy. However, it draws upon these traditions and refines their practices and creates a high order of integration among various lines of wisdom in craniosacral practice. This energy based approach works with the client’s own resources for change, rather than relying on outside interventions. In this way, healing happens from within! The therapist learns skilful ways of consciously facilitating this.
Accessing inner resources, clients often experience more complete resolution. They gain insight and discover inner meaning in the healing journey.
The craniosacral system is the physiological link to the human energy system. In this way, we have direct ways of working with the energy dynamics within physical processes as well as tangible ways of working with body structure and foundations. This gives the ability to work directly with the conditions the body and psyche hold and the processes that allow them to change.
Do I have to make an appointment? Appointments are essential for all treatments.
Foot Reflexology
How does it work?
The body is reflected energetically in the feet. Applying pressure to the feet restores free flowing energy resulting in optimal health.
Reflexology is an excellent corrective tool both as a preventative and health maintenance procedure.
What can it do for me?
It is particularly useful when a body area cannot be directly worked on, for example, if there is injury or you want to stimulate the function of some aspect of human physiology that massage alone would not achieve - for example the hormonal system.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Lou uses traditional Zen Shiatsu techniques as part of her therapies to optionise energy flow.
Vibrational Therapy
Vibrational Essences are blended for a client’s own personal needs.
Bach Flower Essences
Bach Flower Essences assist in the relief of stress and emotional imbalance in humans and in animals.
Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936) created 38 flower remedies in the 1930’s, including the well known Rescue Remedy.
Shell Essences
Shell Essences work on the energy meridians enhancing positivity to assist in dealing with difficult situations and finding solutions to problems in life.
Movement Harmonics
- Simple breath technique enabling a better quality of life
- Fun therapy combining breathing & natural healing movement
- Resulting in a sense of being free of health & emotional restrictions; regaining full potential & moving forward in JOY.
Who are the people who would benefit and why? All those who are interested in feeling better physically and emotionally; i.e. improved general wellbeing. Those who are looking for a self-healing technique that is simple; fun and self-empowering. This technique is safe and effective for all age groups and limitations, with special techniques for children and an adaptation for parents to work with babies.
What is it? This is an inner-body awareness, while breathing, that co-insides with the natural movement of the body. One’s choice of music adds to the technique’s effectiveness and overall enjoyment. Further application may not necessarily involve physical movement, if that is not possible, adding to the therapy’s wider application.
Where? This depends upon the desired level of involvement. This can be from individual practice; group classes as well as people with restricted movement (wheel-chair/bed-ridden) can all benefit from this simple technique.
Participants Expectations?
Principally, the Movement Harmonics technique, is utilizing the relationship that exists between the natural movement of every cell in the body and the natural flow of our environment. Thus, by tapping into the natural rhythm of life, improved health benefits can result using a simple, fun and free technique.
Testimonials
“Thanks Lou for a wonderful three treatments whilst on holidays. I was feeling really rs when I got to Darwin, and after each treatment, felt better, and could feel bodily changes. I felt as if I had been completely realigned, not an ache or pain and slept like a top. Lungs, digestion and muscular tension dissipated. Still cannot get used to Lou but those three treatments made me realise how you should feel, so it gives you a mental stimulus to keep on top of your health.
My only complaint is that I do not live in Darwin.”
A.H. Brisbane
“I went to Lou desperately looking for help to recover from the effects of several long illnesses. I knew reflexology had helped me in the past but I was not familiar with the other therapies Lou practices. Not only did they also assist me greatly but Lou’s positivity, downright cheerfulness and empathy were invaluable. A visit to Lou became a weekly treat as well as a treatment.”
J.H. Darwin
“Due to a serious back injury I have been having treatments (with Lou) for some time. I have found it wonderful for both symptomatic treatment and ongoing maintenance. The sessions greatly help with the stabilization of my back and pain relief. We have also moved into other areas of my health which helps me to maintain a healthy body and mind.”
