Welcome to
Cumbria Wellbeing Hub
Founded by Farmer’s daughter Louisa Waite, Cumbria Wellbeing Hub is a niche collective of heart-led, highly skilled and experienced Occupational Therapists and Coaches.
Rooted in her rural upbringing, Louisa has spent over two decades doing what she does best: empowering others to achieve their true potential and championing their health and wellbeing. Practising within NHS therapy and clinical leadership roles since 2008, and fueled by her passion for providing grass-roots, compassion-based, heart-led care, Louisa established her own private practice in 2021.
Guided by her extensive clinical experience and a wealth of clinical know-how, she and Hub members share a united vision: to help individuals feel better, live better and thrive – authentically. Together they are deeply committed to providing holistic, private, specialist support and care to those who need it most, for every age and life stage; helping others to achieve their optimum health and wellbeing across North Cumbria and beyond (online).
Each Hub member works independently and autonomously within their own spaces, and intentionally limits the number of clients they serve. This ensure every client receives high-quality support and an exceptional service.
*We will always strive to sign-post individuals to complimentary services if we do not have capacity to work with new clients at the time of enquiry.
