From an early sense of joy through acrobatics, dance, and the general experience of embodiment, Louise Barrie developed an interest in the mind/body connection. Out of this interest, after having completed a major in English literature, she pursued degrees in biology and psychology, eventually becoming a psychotherapist (MFT ). In the summer of 1975, she went to Esalen, in Big Sur, CA, and discovered the world of mind/body approaches to working with people. Based on this experience, she moved to Berkeley, CA to fully explore this arena. She studied many modalities: Sensory Awareness, Feldenkrais, Bio-energetics, and Neo-Reichian work ex-tensively with Gunver Ingeborg. She eventually apprenticed to Marion Rosen, on an individual basis, co-developed the Rosen Method Certification Training Program with her and taught that program for thirteen years. She taught in Chapel Hill, NC, where she also offered certification in Rosen Method. Over time, her work began to shift in a more transpersonal direction. Drawing on her spiritual practice, she began to see her work as one of helping the client to reach for inner guidance and the "still place of being". In accordance with this, she began to discover deep energetic states in the body which supported this awareness. Out of these shifts, she developed Huma Transpersonal Bodywork. It is a work which continues to develop. Louise has a private practice in Albany, CA (Bay Area). She also teaches, offering certification in Huma Transpersonal Bodywork to those who have completed her training program. She sometimes offers a teacher training certification program. She is on the adjunct faculty at John F. Kennedy University and has taught at the Institute for Transpersonal Psychology. She also offers workshops and intensives on the east coast and in other locations in California.
