She was awarded several prizes over the four years for academic achievement, and was presented with the Silver Medal on graduating, for outstanding achievement throughout the osteopathic course.

She went on to do an intensive short course at the British School of Osteopathy in Cranial Osteopathy which is a non-invasive technique that can be used to treat babies, or as part of a treatment plan for adults.

Louise has also been in the professional Fitness Industry teaching fitness classes for over 20 years.
