FREEDOM
Meet Lou, founder of The Butterfly Sanctuary
Living with OCD for 27 years, I knew there was a purpose, and that was to help others. After immersing myself in the work that changed my life from living in what I can only describe as a nightmare, my body feeling paralysed from fear and compulsions, I went from thousands and thousands and thousands of rituals to not one. I am now here to help you free yourself from the chains of OCD and live a life of freedom.
