My name is Louise Bates and I am a Therapist, Author, and Podcaster with over 25 years of experience in the field of complementary therapy.
Permanently closed.
In April 2025, I retired from my therapy work to focus on my meditation classes, my podcast and grief work. My name is Louise Bates, and I am a retired therapist with over 25 years of experience in the field of complementary therapy. Author, and Podcaster
Throughout my career, I have provided a variety of treatments to my clients, drawing on my qualifications as a Reiki Master, Reflexologist, Aromatherapist, Crystal Therapist, Indian Head Masseuse, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Master Practitioner. In addition to EFT, I have received training in Matrix Reimprinting, TimelineEFT, PositiveEFT, NLP for Practitioners, NLP Coach, EMDR, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy™, Hypnotherapy, and Mindfulness teaching, accredited by The British Psychological Society. I am also an EFT Grief Specialist and I have completed additional training with Cruse Bereavement. These techniques have not only benefited my clients, but they have also been instrumental in helping me navigate my own grief journey following the death of my son, Matthew, in 2016. In April 2025, I made the decision to retire my therapy business and focus solely on my bereavement work. With a wealth of experience and a diverse skill set, I am dedicated to supporting others in their grief journey with my books, blog, and podcast. Additionally, I continue to host monthly mindfulness meditation sound baths to provide a space for healing and reflection. I enjoy swimbles in freezing cold water, paddleboarding like I’m auditioning for a adventure film, and talking to my crystals like they pay rent. When I’m not elbow-deep in soil pretending I’m at one with the earth, you’ll find me scribbling down my thoughts in a journal or just loving life at a live music gig. I thrive on fresh air, deep chats, and being around people who understand the importance of both grounding yourself and charging your amethyst. I also believe in angels - so you get the picture!

“When the sound of the singing bowls started I found it very relaxing and one of the bowls was vibrating at the same rate as my heart chakra, and I could feel my heart chakra starting to open, it was a lovely feeling. There was such a lovely variety of sounds and I did wonder how some of them were...

💜 Podcast Alert! 💜
Episode 35 - The Badly Wrapped Gift That Changed My Life.
I’m opening up about the loss that shook my world and the unexpected gifts it left behind.
Grief isn’t something we ask for, but sometimes it delivers lessons we can’t find anywhere else: clarity, strength, compassion, and a deeper connection to life and much more.
If you’ve ever faced loss, or walked alongside someone who has, this episode is for you.
Together, we explore how grief, as painful as it is, can also transform us in powerful ways.
Listen now and join me in looking at grief - not just as something to survive, but as a sacred journey of growth and meaning.

I’m really enjoying retirement, but I want to take a moment to say how deeply grateful I am to all my wonderful clients who supported Heathcote Holistics over the years.
It has been such a privilege to share in your journeys—whether through moments of relaxation, healing, or simply creating space for peace in busy lives. Every session, every conversation, every smile (and plenty of laughs along the way!) has been a gift I will always treasure. 💜
I may be retired but I’m still running my meditation classes and focusing on my podcast and blog, which you can find at 👉 www.louisebates.co.uk
Heathcote Holistics will always hold a very special place in my heart, and I’ll forever be thankful for the beautiful community we’ve built together. I will keep this page open to share uplifting information and anything else I find interesting. With love and gratitude.
Grief is a sensitive subject which makes it challenging for writers to describe in a way that feels both real and honest. Louise has shown her vulnerability and documented her experience in a very brave and open hearted way.

Hi, my name is Louise Bates and I am passionate about supporting others to feel and be well.
I combine a collection of new cutting edge techniques and processes that 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. I am also a qualified mindfulness teacher.
The techniques I use help you to move forward in your life in a more positive way enabling you to release anxiety, panic attacks, fears, phobias and much much more.
We can work together on a 1-2-1 basis in my treatment room or through Skype, Facetime or Zoom. This enables us to work together wherever you are in the world.
If you would like to clear any of your issues, or if you would like to learn more about the incredible techniques I use, contact me today and arrange a FREE 30 minute consultation.
I also offer a wide range of complementary therapies. These therapies promote relaxation which is perhaps the most important key to your health and well-being. When you are completely relaxed your own natural healing mechanism is more active.
Contact me today!
