Wellness in Work Life & Play
Lou Booth
Welcome to a different kind of coaching, to bring some colour to your life harnessing new and traditional ideas to ignite your passion and tap into your inner wisdom to live well- in work, life and play!
My coaching style is designed for our times and was born out of many years of research and experiential learning.
I invite you to experience a rather special type of coaching that eloquently blends traditional coaching techniques and gratefully draws upon the expertise of leading international, teachers in mindfulness, compassion neuroscience, psychology, wellness, and resilience to guide you to your best mindset to flourish.
I’ve evolved a practical style of coaching support which is grounded in robust, formal research, to the ethics of membership of internationally recognised institutions; ILM and EMCC. Having recently been awarded a Masters in Science, Studies in Mindfulness from The University of Aberdeen, I hope to share my new learning and insights with clients. So you know you are putting yourself in very good hands.
My coaching experience spans over 15 years, alongside 10 years of studying and practicing mindfulness, compassion, insights and wisdom.
Coaching connects people of all ages either working out the direction of their careers starting out, in the middle or towards middle or end! Be you an owner manager, professional, business leader with teams I help to bring wellness to work. I offer a safe, and confidential space where clients can talk and be heard.
“You help me sort myself out so then I can focus and get on with running and growing my business.”

In this reflective, transformational space clients rediscover what they have lost, they find clarity and learn to trust their inner wisdom. Clients can experience the practical benefits of mindfulness, compassion, presence awareness, more emotional intelligence which results in resourcefulness to their daily lives.
Dave Murray Vice President, GCP AMEX.
“You have pointed me to think differently and as a result I have changed.”
Clients are guided they gain their own practical transformational insights, becoming more self-aware to change their unhelpful behaviours, and refuel to bounce back quickly when they mess up. Clients are better able to cope with and navigate stress, keeping well and resilient. To transform and flourish in today’s uncertain world.
With guidance, challenge and support, clients are able to creatively think about their issues and challenges in new ways. They are able to build their resilience to be their best in work, with their colleagues and at home and play with loved ones.
“A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life.”
Dr Christopher K. Germer
Our core values act as a compass to a more fulfilled happier life. For more than a decade, I have lived my talk and integrated my own values into my daily life and life choices; to enjoy art and design, travel and culture, people, swimming, nature and the great outdoors. I’ve participated on European wellness projects, learnt from exceptional teachers and mentors throughout the world, and taken volunteering holidays across the world from Bolivia to Mongolia.
Lou Booth (Owner and Founder of elementas)
In 2018 I reached the top of the world; the mysterious Tibet and Everest Base Camp, travelling and learning with Tibetan guides.
Traveling and volunteering allows me to give back and to learn about diversity, culture and different ways of life; recently in Bolivia with underprivileged children in cancer care. Together with friends and clients we raised thousands of pounds to make a difference with educational and play materials for the hospital and outreach projects. I hope my approach resonates and if you would like explore how we could work together please get in touch and we can organise a call – WhatsApp (+44) 07715814833 Lou@elementas.co.uk
