Namaste,  – Yvonne Kaveney, RYT 200 Hours, New Zealand, 2017

So much more than I expected. I joined because my arthritis flared up to the point that I couldn’t function anymore. Thanks for teaching me how to change my negative thinking to attract more positivity in life. Defying moment in my life. Thank you! – Joanne, 2017 Canada

I’ve been on daily medication for constipation for at least 7 years. Nothing seemed to work anymore. I’ve tried everything. I can’t believe 2 days of your bowel routine is all it took. I practice once a day now and have been regular ever since, no more meds. My doctor doesn’t believe me. I told him he should take your course. – Lucie, 2017 Canada

As a mother, all you want is for your kids to be happy and well. My daughter called me one day in absolute agony, fever, cramping and diarrhea. We turned on facetime and I showed her the breathing technique you taught us the day before. My daughter was as sceptic as I was but she had nothing to lose. An hour later she called me, all her symptoms had gone. I never missed a beat in your class after that. Looking forward to next year’s program. – Jo, 2017 Canada

You were born to teach girl. At 65, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to follow the weight loss program but you gave so many options and kept me engaged. After less than a month, I can do 31 repetitions of the yoga sequence you taught. I don’t remember the last time I felt so young and free in my body. I look forward to my mornings now. – Diane, 2017 Canada

Lou, your class changed my life. I thought I had joined the program to lose weight but I got so much more. Thank you for taking care of my acid reflux. I feel so much better now. Your willingness to extend your care to my granddaughter was the cream of the crop. Next year, rain or shine, I’ll be there. – Leone, 2017 Canada

Our education system is lacking. Imagine if we taught our kids these coping and healing methods — they would be so better equipped for life. – Dee, 2017 Canada

I lost 30 pounds, stopped drinking and never felt so good. That tea is amazing! – Frank, 2017 Canada

That was so much fun. I learned so much. I look forward to your next workshop. Thanks Lou. – Sarah, 2017 Bahrain

Down 6 pounds in two weeks and feeling GREAT!!! Thank you so much for sharing your teaching. – Julie, 2017 Canada

Yoga teaching

Warm, nurturing and gentle. I’m often impressed by Lou’s compassion and connection to all beings: from humans and animals to insects and plants. Inspiring, authentic, honest and genuine — a wonderful teacher and friend. – Amal, 2017 Bahrain

I was fortunate to have Lou teach the anatomy class of my yoga teacher course. Her fluid teaching method and depth of knowledge flared my curiosity. What happens in our body when we move in yoga  poses, and how little adjustments make a huge difference. She knows it all and shares her knowledge with passion. But we discovered that Lou is much more than a yoga teacher when she started chanting and deeply touched our inner selves opening the portal of love and peace in our souls. Lou’s deep devotion is contagious. I have never met a yogi as deeply committed and yet so close and approachable to her students. I pray her dreams come true – many more will be able to benefit from her teaching and help us live in a better world.  – Maria, RYT 200 Hours, Italy, 2016

So much to share. So simple. So effective. Available to all. Wow, Lou, that was amazing! – Fatima, 2016 Bahrain

Excellent yoga teacher, very knowledgeable and in-tune with all her students. Her interventions are tailor-made to suit everyone’s needs and she does this so discreetly and gracefully. Devoted, engaged and trust worthy teacher and healer — a dear friend. – Denis et Nicole Laferriere, 2016 Canada

Anyone can tell a story but sharing life experiences the way you do Lou brings tears to my eyes every time. That level of openness and devotion is a rare treasure. – Bruce, 2015 Australia

Though our time together was short, it contained very rich and memorable moments. I realized I was being too harsh and judgemental on myself. Her teachings helped me change the way I see things, and gave me a new outlook on life. My most memorable moment (one of many) was when, through a simple chant, she made all 16 students cry. She simply held the space while we let go of negative emotions and then, brought a sense of serenity and unconditional love amongst us — a moment that no words could ever describe. – Saleh Al-Derazi, 2015 Bahrain

The depth and level of her teachings is so precious — transformational. The truth most souls are yearning for these days. – Karen, 2012 Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Lou is a deep teacher who encourages strength and courage from her students. However, not the kind of courage required for advanced asana, the kind that permits you to dig deeper within your heart and conjure love for yourself. The kind of teacher you will connect with for years to come and are unlikely to forget because she is authentic. Her classes represent her own years of hard work and dedication to become the person that stands before you. Her blood, sweat and tears are real and she will communicate them to you, in time, and in her own way. Soon, you too, will share more than you expected, connected more than you knew was possible and miss the moments that you are not in class with her. I know, I still do and its been several years. – Lobat Asadi, USA 2012

I think it’s your voice. In your presence, everything becomes peaceful. – Luce, 2012 Canada

Healing

Many years ago while travelling in India with my wife, I was suffering with a very uncomfortable sciatica. I was miserable and most uncomfortable. My wife had made some inquiries at the place we were staying to find some help. She heard that Louise Plante was staying in the same area, and was a very talented energy worker. I was certain my problems were structural, but because of my discomfort I was willing to try anything. When Lou came to our room, she explained very clearly what was happening and how her work would help my situation. I have to admit, I was somewhat skeptical but I was desperate. Lou completed her treatment, and I immediately noticed a change for the better. The next morning I felt completely better. Lou is a very gifted healer, and if she lived in Alberta I would be a committed and loyal client. She opened my eyes to other possibilities and most certainly made a difference in my well being. – Dan Secter, DMD, Alberta, 2017

A very, very pure heart and soul. – Christina, Singapore 2017

At 70, my husband fell down a ladder. Doing stairs and walking was extremely difficult and limited for him. The pain had been escalating for weeks. Lou offered to do a healing but, he doesn’t believe in that stuff. She told me it could be done from a distance so I agreed, not knowing what to expect. The next morning, he woke up completely free of pain and back to normal. I couldn’t believe it. Now, I reach out for healings whenever we need to. – Claire, 2017 Canada

Like all great healers, Lou heals with Divine Grace: she gets totally out of the way and lets what needs to happen, take place. I was in bed with excruciating back pain when Lou took care of me. And within one session, I was relieved of the pain and was able to sleep properly which I hadn’t done in days. – Nathalie, Paris, France

I know I’m sick but when you’re here, I know everything will be ok. – Mom, 2015 Canada

Divine healing hands. So much gratitude. I can breathe again!! Thanks for helping me gain the strength and courage to forgive and heal my heart. My shoulder pain is completely gone. – Lorraine, Canada 2015

I have a type of neurological disorder (like Parkinson’s). My whole body has been trembling for quite some time now. Lou offered a healing and after only one 20-minute session, I completely stopped shaking. I immediately got a pen and paper and wrote my name, something I had not been unable to do in 6 months. I thank God in utmost gratitude. – Elango, 2015 India

Any child would be lucky to have you as a mom, you are so patient and gentle. Thanks for working with our little angel. – Robert, 2014 Canada

Others

I see the world through your eyes. National Geographic’s can’t beat that! Follow your dreams Lou and remember, not only cancer people are suffering. Love. – Dad, 2009 Canada

Lou is the real deal, what you see is what you get — kind, loving and caring. – Natalie, 2012 Canada

It takes a very special kind of person to open your heart to the world the way you do. Thumbs-up! – Mme Trudeau, 2015 Canada

A kind and generous soul. – Nicole, 2014 UK
