About
Our purpose at Unity House is to shift consciousness in individuals, organisations and communities.
​
Shifting consciousness means working with people to awaken to their highest wisdom and potential, and to create new patterns in their lives to align with these. As people awaken they are able to live in a place of flow, ease, creativity and unity.
To this end, Unity House is comprised of highly experienced coaches, mentors, strategists, innovators, healers and facilitators, who work across sectors and generations. Unity Houses directors and associates are unified by our shared vision of shifting consciousness for a better world.
​
Unity House operates in Europe, the US and Australasia, but started on Waiheke, a small island off the coast of Auckland, New Zealand.

"Louise is a guide, a partner a of sorts who will take you on a journey of self-discovery, she does this with such a light hand, that you are barely aware of how she places information, questions and experiences in front of you; most of which I did not see the first, or the second or even the third time.. I am sure there is much I still have not seen, but that is the fun of the journey. It was at times challenging and confronting, but never judging. The delight of discovery and the sharing of your own and others experiences is both empowering, and joyful."
