Workshops
I offer a tailored toolbox of proven brain and body-based strategies to freedivers and non-freedivers alike. These workshops are personalised to the group, whether for performance, emotional healing, professional-wellness or general well-being. Each attendee will leave the workshop empowered with ways to manage and regulate their nervous system and shift their mindset for their optimal function and potential in their personal and work lives.
(Workshops can be in-person or online)

BRAINSPOTTING: The Neuroscience of Flow, Healing and Performance
Stress, anxiety and emotional-dysregulation can affect our clarity, creativity, well-being and decision making.
This an experiential workshop exploring Brainspotting® – a powerful, neuroscience-based modality that helps clear emotional and creative blocks by working directly with the deep brain and nervous system. You'll learn how trauma and stress can subtly disrupt performance, creativity, and wellbeing, and discover how spots within your visual field can be used to access and process unintegrated experiences stored below conscious awareness.
Through a blend of neurophysiology and felt-sense in the body, you’ll learn simple practical tools and techniques to regulate your nervous system, shift into parasympathetic states of calm, and tap into deeper focus and flow. We'll explore methods used by freedivers to access deep relaxation, and how to find specific eye positions that support subconscious processing. You’ll leave with insights and embodied tools that you can use quickly and easily to support clarity, emotional balance, and expanded creative capacity.

Brainspotting (Brain Reprogramming) for Freedivers
How can freedivers use neurophysiology to optimise their performance? BrainSpotting® is a powerful brain-body therapy that enhances neuroplasticity and heals trauma, deep in the subconscious brain.
In this workshop, Louisa explains how BrainSpotting can be applied to freediving to rewire the nervous system, reprogram the brain and break through mental barriers.
As the first female Chief of Safety at an International Depth event, and one of the most experienced female safety freedivers globally, Louisa brings over a decade of experience in multiple areas of freediving.
In this workshop, you will learn and practice brain- and body-based exercises designed to help you:
reprogram your subconscious brain
rapidly regulate your nervous system
shift performance blocks or limitations
enter 'flow' states at will
expand and optimise your freediving performance
This workshop offers you powerful tools to help you prepare for, expand, and optimise, performance.
For anyone curious about exploring their 'deeper' potential - as a freediver or as a human - this is cutting-edge information, plus exercises and tools, to understand your neurophysiology and master your inner state.
