Louise Hay
is known as one of the founders of the self-help movement. One of the first
Louise Hay books,
Heal Your Body, was published in 1976, long before it was fashionable
to discuss the connection between the mind and body.
Through the healing techniques and positive philosophy
of Louise Hay, millions have learned how to create more of what they
want in their lives, including more wellness in their bodies, minds, and
spirits. Her own personal philosophy was forged from her tormented
upbringing. Her childhood was unstable and impoverished, and her teen years
were marked by abuse. Louise ran away from home and ended up in
New York City,
where she became a model and married a prosperous businessman. Although it |

appeared that her life had turned around, it was not until the
marriage ended 14 years later that her healing really began.
Louise Hay started what would become her life's
work in
New York City
in 1970. She attended meetings at the
Church
of
Religious Science
and began training in the ministerial program. She became a popular speaker
at the church, and soon found herself counseling clients. This work quickly
blossomed into a full-time career. After several years, Louise compiled a
reference guide detailing the mental causes of physical ailments, and
developed positive thought patterns for reversing illness and creating
health. This compilation was the basis for a Louise Hay books Heal Your Body. |
Louise Hay was able to put her philosophies
into practice when she was diagnosed with cancer. She considered the
alternatives to surgery and drugs, and instead developed an intensive
program of affirmations, visualization, nutritional cleansing, and
psychotherapy. Within six months, she was completely healed of cancer.
In 1980 Louise moved to
Southern California
where she published her book You Can Heal Your Life in 1984. It was
between 1985 and 1988 that Louise Hay wrote The AIDS Book: Creating a
Positive Approach, based on her experiences with her support group “The
Hayride” for men diagnosed with AIDS.
Louise now heads Hay House, a successful publishing
company. In addition The Hay Foundation and the Louise L. Hay Charitable
Fund are two nonprofit organizations established by Louise that support many
diverse organizations, including those dealing with AIDS, battered women,
and other challenged individuals in our society. Louise has appeared on
television around the world, and her monthly column, "Dear Louise," appears
in more than 50 publications in the
United States,
Canada,
Australia,
Spain,
and
Argentina.
When she’s not traveling, Louise enjoys painting, gardening, and dancing at
her home in
San Diego,
California.
