Hi, I’m Louisa Latela and I look forward to blogging with you!!! Right this minute I am very busy, but wanted to introduce myself to you. So what follows is a general description of the focus of my practice/mission statement:

My intention is to support people in living a life that honors their highest good. To that end I assist my clients in connecting with and responding to their inner wisdom so their life is an authentic expression of their soul energy. Clients are challenged to be conscious of their every thought and action and evaluate it’s appropriateness for supporting their highest good. Through this process clients develop the critical thinking skills necessary to identify and change core belief systems and behaviors that are in conflict with their soul’s purpose. By purposefully choosing self affirming thoughts and actions their living style becomes one that is truly reflective of genuine self love and respect. They experience the power of living in the now and come to know that their true essence is love. Remember, every single moment of every single day each of us has control and choice regarding the thoughts we think, the feelings we feel, the decisions we make, and ultimately the experience of our lives!!

I offer individual and group counseling. From time to time I facilitate “Food and Feelings” Workshops for adults struggling with compulsive eating and “The Art of Self Nurture” Workshops for women who have a difficult time prioritizing self care.

Read my column in WLS Lifestyles Magazine “Food and Feelings: Stories of People Who are Making the Connection”. As well, I have started making podcasts of my column that you can download from my podcasting site: http://yourhighestgood.podomatic.com.

I really believe that we all know how to heal, how to be joyful, how to live a life that honors our highest good if we just stop and listen to ourselves. A major key is to that is learning to tolerate vs. react to and run from (i.e. stuff) uncomfortable feelings , which I will be talking/blogging about a great deal in the months to come….

Wishing you many blessings and much peace!

Louisa
