Dr. Patricia J. Crane, Ph.D., President and co-founder of Heart Inspired Presentations, LLC, first became interested in Louise Hay’s philosophies after reading You Can Heal Your Life. Of all the books she had read up to that point, Patricia felt that this one brought together the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects together in the most powerful way. While the ideas seem simple, they are profound.
Then Patricia was delighted to meet Louise at an early breakfast meeting and learned about a week long intensive Louise was leading. Her attendance at that intensive was transformational for her own personal growth and fueled a desire to help others make similar changes on their own inner journey. The container for change was the way Louise created a cocoon of unconditional love where each person could truly learn to love themselves and open to techniques like mirror work, inner child work, and forgiveness of self and others.
Witnessing the amazing power of these practices and principles to change lives, Patricia began working directly with Louise in her week long intensives, leading small groups and teaching some sessions. As life unfolded, especially after Louise was on the Oprah Winfrey show, Louise began turning her attention more toward book publishing and audio recordings with her company, Hay House, Inc., while Dr. Crane just naturally picked up the mantle and continued with the teachings. In 1995, Louise approved the training program that continues today. An official agreement with Hay House, Inc., was made at a later time. Patricia tells us that “After all these years of Louise’s mentorship I can imagine no greater reward than to be officially sanctioned to do this work.”
Today there are Heal Your Life® workshop leaders and coaches in 71 countries worldwide, all dedicated to sharing Louise’s work. Clearly, this is a testament to the universal appeal of Louise Hay’s work. Human beings will always need to learn to love themselves, heal the past, and learn the techniques to create an amazing life!
