Author: Louise Bates

Louise is a complementary therapist, reiki master, mindfulness teacher and qualified in many healing modalities. Louise loves to integrate the most effective elements of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), spiritual understanding, science and the mind’s great ability to transform itself into her work. When her son, Matthew, died, Louise became her own therapist and she applied many of these techniques to help herself. Louise also took herself on a deep spiritual journey and started writing letters as part of her process to deal with her grief. After a few months of writing, she believes Matthew connected to her and that he gave her the idea of turning the letters into a book. The loss of a child is unimaginable, but Louise managed to turn this heart breaking experience into something positive. By sharing her letters, insights, thoughts and feelings with the world, she is not only keeping Matthew’s memory alive but also giving hope to other people that life can be meaningful again after a death of a loved one.
