Louise Armitage

With around twenty years experience as a professional homeopath and Bowen therapist, Louise Armitage has an extensive background in natural healing. Born in Adelaide (Australia) in 1960, her interest in natural health and spirituality started in her late teens, when she bought a copy of the I Ching. But it wasnt until 1995and after winding a career path through both education and marketing communicationsthat she left the mainstream working world to pursue her career as a natural healer. Her interest in mind/body/spirit healing was born out of her own personal work and the holistic healing principles she learned from homeopathic medicine. In her work, she brings together her healing, teaching and communications skills to help people with their health issues and take control of their own wellbeing. But her driving interest is to help people discover the vital connections between their physical wellbeing, emotional landscape and spiritual nature to help them discover how this rich interplay relates to their life experience. As a professional healer, Louise has devoted her efforts to helping people by working in private practice. This included a decade working in semi-remote South Australia, an experience presenting her with challenges quite different from those posed by a city-based practice. Louises qualifications include a Bachelor of Education, Advanced Diploma in Homeopathic Medicine and a Diploma of Bowen Therapy (Bowtech). Her other natural healing studies include Homeopathic Facial Analysis (HFA), Western herbal medicine and nutrition. In 2001, she was awarded the Warren Brauer Memorial Award for excellence in homeopathy and medical science, while in 2007 she was a contributing author to Linlee Jordans book Challenging Children-Success with Homeopathy. Louise currently works in regional South Australia. Website: www.louisearmitage.com

A BABIES CRY

Their tears of jewelled innocence,

Clear as new forged crystal;

Colours of the rainbow held within.

Do not cry my child of gold,

Such stories to tell;

Stories of old.

Upon your brow, despair shows,

Behind your eyes sadness hides;

What little thoughts frighten you so?

A life lived before, a future known,

Not for the child, do tears fall;

But for a mothers love, denied.

A PEOPLE OF

SUCH GRACE

Lamented was their passing;

Even to this day,

Not to death went they,

But to a world undying.

Their time here was long,

Much beauty they brought,

Dwellings carved,

Waterfalls trained.

Love found;

To vows promised,

Children came,

Blissful happiness.

Then to evil all fell;

Evil grew from loves hate,

To sadness and pity love fell,

Evil
