Dr Louise Livingstone is the founder and director of the Heart Sense Research Institute. She holds a PhD in Transformative Learning and an MSc in Holistic Science, and is an internationally accredited coach, spiritual counsellor, and therapist across multiple healing modalities. Louise’s work centres on reimagining the role of the heart in contemporary life—an exploration deeply informed by her own lived experience of long-term cardiac illness. This personal journey reached a pivotal turning point during a profoundly transformative moment when her heart called her home. Since then, Louise has devoted herself to learning from the wisdom and guidance of her own heart, and now shares this transformative path with others.
​
As an educator, researcher, and author, Louise is widely published and provides consultancy services to many organisations through the Heart Sense methodological framework. She regularly delivers talks and lectures, and her much-anticipated book, The Heart Sense Journey—based on her doctoral research, conversations with her heart, and years of teaching—is due for release soon.

If you're curious about how your heart can guide you toward more nourishing, flourishing relationships, and how to live in alignment with your heart’s true vision for your life, you’re in the right place. A warm, heart-felt welcome to you...

"[T]he heart’s way and Heart Sense do not mean the creation of an ideal, conflict-free existence. Taking seriously and engaging with the heart does, however, mean being willing to step into life with one’s whole self and learning to move with what it has to offer in all of its complexity and richness, uncertainty and imperfection. Remaining patiently in the present, embedded in life, our hearts release us into the possibility of new spaces for interaction and communication as they respond continuously to the calls of the world in all of its glorious complexity and infinite mystery - inviting us to step into the dance and move with life as best we are able in its ever-unfolding wholeness."
