"Dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem."
- Walt Whitman










"The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for your whole life. And the most important thing is - It must be something you cannot possibly do."
- Henry Moore

My name is L. R. Heartsong, founder and workshop facilitator for Soul Quests. I walk and weave many paths: Soul Embodiment guide, body-centered therapist, writer, longtime instructor of bodywork & healing arts, Watsu and aquatic therapist, Ayurvedic educator, French-trained chef.

As a catalyst for personal transformation, I help others descend fully into their bodies and ask the deepest questions of their lives.

An American by birth but wandering soul for many years, my journey has carried me along the West Coast of the USA as well as to Colorado, New Mexico, Hawaii, France and England. Currently, I reside in the tranquil Sussex Downs, southwest of London.

Qualified in somatic psychology, as a body-centered therapist I have been counseling for a decade, along with leading men's groups, workshops and wilderness retreats. In my work with Soul Quests, I offer individual Soul Embodiment sessions and events for men. Further information can be found under the "Personal Catalyst" and "Workshops" pages on this site.

As a bodyworker and "healing artist" for nearly twenty years, I also offer various forms of bodywork apart from Soul Quests. For more information about my warm-water aquatic work (SoulWaves, Watsu ®, WaterDance, etc), please follow this link (opens in a new window): www.soulwaves.com

Thanks for stopping by... and soulful blessings on the journey!
