Dr Louise Livingstone and the birth of Heart Sense 

(PhD, MSc, PGDipCEIG, BA, INLPTA NLP, AAMET EFT,  VTCT, Reiki Master)

 

Welcome. I am Dr Louise Livingstone — founder of the Heart Sense Research Institute — and I am so glad you are here. This space is born from a deep belief in the wisdom of the heart. Through my research, practice, and lived experience, I’ve come to know that the heart holds a vast intelligence — one that can guide us through life with clarity, courage, and compassion. Heart Sense is my offering to you: a place to reconnect with your own inner knowing and explore a deeper, more meaning-full, heart-full way of being in the world.

The birth of Heart Sense
 

In the early 1990s, I succumbed to viral myocarditis. This enlarged my heart leaving me with numerous physical ailments. Deep in my soul, I knew that my heart was urgently trying to speak to me, making me aware that I had been ignoring my heart's wisdom and guidance for many years.  This experience transformed my life, and I began a long journey of recovery; learning to listen to the soft whispers of my heart's wisdom and guidance. This meant un-learning almost everything I was taught about the world through the contemporary Western approach towards knowledge; along the way gaining an MSc in Holistic Science from the Schumacher College, and a PhD in Transformative Education from Canterbury Christ Church University. Today I bring my research, professional and personal experience into a practical setting; empowering people to access their heart's wisdom in order to engage more fully with life and our beautiful, living, breathing Earth. I call this way of being, Heart Sense. 

​

Empowerment through the heart:

​

My heart's greatest desire is to open the possibility and potentiality for individuals and organisations to reconnect with life by returning to the wisdom of the heart. Through the wisdom of Heart Sense, you are gifted the time and space to reconnect to your own inner knowing, helping you gain the clarity and courage to act from this place in everyday life.

In deep conversation with my heart, my research has:

​​

• Uncovered a lost heart, hidden in our past

• Discovered many different layers of the heart - each with its own wisdom and guidance

• Developed a way of engaging with these different hearts from within a contemporary framework to enable deep  personal transformation 

• Revealed that each heart is a portal/key; enabling the possibility to be present to what is speaking to you - helping you to deepen your understanding of yourself, and yourself in living relationship with the world​
