Navigational Pad Professional Experience as a
Clinician and as a Trainer

Louise Fréchette begins to practice as a bioenergetic analyst as soon as 1980.

As of today, she can count on twenty-five years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist and bioenergetic analyst.

Bioenergetic analysis remains the main approach she uses, but she also takes advantage of what she has learned in other approaches, particularly in psychosynthesis and in classic and ericksonian hypnosis, but also in other approaches she has had the opportunity to learn about over the years.

In 1985, reconnecting with her interest for teaching, Louise Fréchette opts for a career as a bioenergetic analysis trainer, while continuing to work as a psychotherapist. She begins her teaching career by supervising students who are in training in bioenergetic analysis at the Institut québécois d’analyse bioénergétique, founded by Denis Royer. Then, in 1987, she is invited to give training workshops in various bioenergetic societies : in Quebec, in Alberta as well as in France.

She is presently director of training for two bioenergetic training programs, one that is sponsored by the Société québécoise d’analyse bioénergétique (SOQAB) and another one that is sponsored by the Institut d’analyse bioénergétique France sud (IABFS). She also currently teaches bioenergetic analysis in several other training programs that are sponsored by various societies: the Madrid Society, the Catalan Society, the Andalusia Society as well as one that is jointly sponsored by the French and the Belgian bioenergetic societies.
