About me
Louise Gabrielle Lake
intuitive healing practitioner, therapist
I’ve been in private practice since 1989. Having experience in both mind and body oriented therapies, I initially developed an approach that combined counselling with hands-on energy healing (Reiki, chakra balancing). (Since covid, online therapy has rapidly grown in popularity. It is safe, easy to access and has been shown to be just as effective as in person therapy.)
Counselling with Energy Healing
I also provide online healing and counselling sessions. I am able to tune into your energy at a distance since our energy body / consciousness is not limited by distance or time. The process I engage in with you is interactive. In addition to me doing the energy healing, I also instruct you on how to place your hands on your chakras. It is a great opportunity for you to tune into your own subtle energy and learn how to manage it skillfully. I strive to create an accepting environment that encourages a relaxed and open dialog.
Experiences
I keep abreast of new developments in energy therapy and psychology as well as continue with my own personal growth, striving always to provide the best quality therapy for my clients.

Work History
After graduating from university, I worked in medical research, in particular, cancer research for seven years and then became a technical sales representative for a scientific equipment company for five years before entering the healing arts. This has given me a good understanding of workplace stresses.
