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.
