Professional Profile

I love teaching and educating others to help empower them to make their own informed decisions and proactive choices. I look to furthering my journey to expand by teaching overseas and to share my light to larger audiences, enabling me to expand my writings, publishing and sharing.

My passions are travel, adventure, books, learning new concepts, empowering others and laughing with my family. I love seeing the light being turned on inside people, and seeing them ‘light up’ as they wake up to the real world. I have spent many years walking amongst and being the living dead and now it is time to WAKE UP and BE ALIVE.

Testimonials | Reviews

If you want to live a better quality of life both physically and emotionally and become aware of how your body can serve your thoughts and feelings….. then Louise Plant’s book ‘Be Alive’ is a must for you to read. It is so refreshing to find a practical and simple book that gets straight to the point of how we can embrace our lives in every way, shape and form. Do yourself a favour and get a copy of this book to have on hand so you can remind yourself of how easy it is ‘to live’.

Beppi Sharpe – Buena Vista Seminars.

This is a book that you start to read and can’t put down until you’ve finished! This book has it all. Every page has brilliant ideas, messages and suggestions that can be put in to immediate effect in your life and is timeless. It covers everything, including the way we think, what we do, what we eat and much, much more. It explores the little things that make a big difference in our reality. My favourite is the “be crazy and get dirty” page. Seriously, this is a must have book. I loved it and heartily recommend it to everyone.
