The training with Loulou was time well spent in many ways. Although at first, I couldn’t imagine how we would spend two days on the topic, as soon as we began I realised that this was to be much more than I had expected. We were not simply going to be learning about the benefits and uses of the Buttafly products, but we would learn from Loulou’s experience of working with clients and students as a bodyworker, physiotherapist, healing practitioner, and yoga teacher.

We came to understand through hearing her experiences and exploring for ourselves why the Buttafly is such a powerful tool. And while in two days we could not cover Anatomy in any depth, I learned a great amount about the human body in those few hours in the context of teaching yoga.

We explored for ourselves, and with others in the class, about our own postural strengths and weaknesses, the individuality of our bodies, and how to support our own progress. We worked with idea that ‘less can be more’ when the right interventions are made in the appropriate way.

Loulou taught us that if we support the body well, the body’s intelligence will allow a postural release to occur naturally. We learned that the subtlest of shifts or changes to our posture while sitting in Sukasana or lying in Savasana can have a big impact on our experience.

I think we all came to realise that too often, the fundamentals of posture can be too easily overlooked, or problems are even obscured by notions of what is the right way to be doing something. And of course, we learned how the simple unique design of the Buttafly can be an invaluable aid in working with our students or clients. The days flew by and I am looking forward to doing more.

I love introducing my clients to the Buttafly. It’s made a big difference to so many of my clients and many have gone on to buy a Buttafly to use at home. I really notice the changes in their posture after the treatment – they go out of the clinic very differently. It’s really nice to have something to share with them that empowers them and gives them knowledge of the wisdom in their body. It’s good too because they can adapt it to their needs.

What I’m working on now is how best way to encourage my clients to use it on a regular basis. People get all excited, buy something, and then don’t get around to using it. I’m finding my way bit by bit! Earlier today, a lady came today with a bit of a bad back after doing body balance last week. She went on the Buttafly and it instantly relieved her pain. She said how comfortable it was to lie in position. I used the breathing techniques Loulou showed us during the training to help relax her. She was still tender when she got up but there was a definite improvement.

There are so many people who benefit from the Buttafly, it’s amazing and helps them understand the body in a new way. For them to have a step-by-step routine for using the Buttafly at home is life-changing. Thank you, Loulou for making a difference to so many people – you are AMAZING.

I attended a two-day class with Loulou on how to best use the Buttafly for therapeutic purposes and in yoga class. I found her to be very informative and passionate about the use of Buttafly Effect and its ability to help people.

I’ve gone on to use it successfully with patients suffering from low back pain and specifically coccydynia. Our lessons were on Zoom and I found her teaching to be clear and the two days were paced beautifully.
